There are lots of PC games out there that are getting revived lately. We have seen the Fallout franchise get back on track with Bethesda Softworks' Fallout 3, The C&C: Red Alert RTS series got a new lease on life with Red Alert 3. Yet there are many other classic PC game franchises that are well known that perhaps could also get a second chance for the public.

Big Download has picked 10 such games that we think would be perfect for a publisher interested in introducing these franchises to a whole new audience. Of course, a lot will depend on which development team will handle these games but with a little bit of love, these titles are all prime candidates for a new coat of paint.

Warner Bros. Interactive wants F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin fans to have a lot to check out over the holiday. That's the only reason we can see for sending out a whopping 35 new screenshots from the upcoming horror-themed shooter from developer Monolith. The new screenshots show a variety of scenes from the game, from rather static character visuals to creepy horror to simple but effective action shots with lots of blood spray.

While we could spotlight one of the scary and/or bloody new shots, we thought it would be interesting to focus on the screenshot shown above. Clearly this guy needs to get a little more sun. The graphical detail is certainly impressive and we can even see some faux movie posters for titles like "SnakeFist". Oh and the character is wearing a Shogo 2 t-shirt. That's a reference to the original Shogo: Mobile Armor Division game that Monolith made over 10 years ago. It was a a Japanese anime-themed FPS with both mech and on-foot scenes. It's still got a cult following with a number of fans (including this writer). Is this a hint that Monolith wants to make Shogo 2? Maybe one day....
