F.E.A.R. Files [Xbox 360] – Review

F.E.A.R. Files - Xbox 360 - North American Box Art

Exclusive to the Xbox 360, F.E.A.R. Files is a compilation of Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate, the two expansion packs for the horror-themed first-person shooter F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon. Unlike the original game, which was developed by Monolith Productions, these expansions were handled by the now defunct TimeGate Studios, based out of Sugarland, Texas. Extraction Point debuted on PCs in October 2006, a year after the base game.

Perseus Mandate followed in November 2007, releasing simultaneously on PCs and the Xbox 360. The exploits of a separate F.E.A.R. team, acting concurrently with the Point Man’s, were detailed in this expansion.

First Encounter Assault Recon was that game. Continue reading F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon [Xbox 360] – Review

Activision Blizzard – Summary Analysis of the Years 2006-2010

For my Financial Statement Analysis final, my professor tasked me with researching an American, publicly traded company and I chose Activision Blizzard. They’re the largest publisher of video games in the U.S., and they’re probably one of the largest period. For this assignment I had to research and analyze their financials. The newest financials I found through the source I used were for the period 2006-2010 so this report isn’t entirely relevant, but it highlights wonderfully the pre- and post-merger status of the company. I won’t get into detail here, because I do in my report. Anyways, check it out!
