I think James is pointing out that RPS *is* just our respective opinions on things, rather than suggesting my evaluation of the name is good or bad.

Perseus Mandate does seem more like a Robert Ludlum book name than a game – I’d love to give it a go, but the installer chokes when I point it somewhere other than the default location and my C drive just ain’t got the space spare for demos!

Perseus Mandate is a crap name for the same reasons that ‘Omega Protocol’ or ‘Alpha Doctrine’ or ‘Medusa Horizon’ would be. It sounds like a trash airport novel.

It might be an addon too much (FEAR’s Blue Shift perhaps), Extraction Point was quite decent imo and was also Timegate’s work.

Terrible name? No Jim, that’s just your opinion.

Welcome to RPS.

Of course it’s his opinion.

This site is built around opinions.

It just so happens that Jim’s right on this one, though.

Well it’s not really a sequel if all they own is the name. They don’t even own the characters or game world.
I think Monolith did pretty well out of the deal to keep everything, but the name. F.E.A.R was a stupid name anyway..
Project Origin is terribly generic, talk about a wasted opportunity.

FEAR was better than this.

Har har, effectively we ‘chose’ such an insipid name for the sequal. That’ll learn us… it IS a retarded name!

Timegate should stick to Kohan. It’s just one of the plain best fantasy RTS series ever made. It’s better than Warcraft. There, I said it. Sue me!

I didn’t bother finishing it… was FEAR this uninspired? Or is it suffering from being in the middle of you, know, 2007 games. When Bioshock, Halo & the Orange Box are all fresh in people’s minds, this is a pretty hard time to extend an older shooter. I enjoyed the Jericho demo – let’s see how COD4 looks later today :)
