The Far Cry series, as it has recently seen its second installment, has been one of Ubisoft's most precious projects for quite some time.

I played two games in the last two days dealing very differently with the most basic of game props: doors that players can move through. In Mirror's Edge on the PC, the character, Faith, runs and as such cannot afford to slow down in order to put her hand on a knob in order to turn it. She hits the door with eit... |

Far Cry 2 is a game that makes you part of a war you never intended to fight, shows you how people can die around you, makes you feel helpless and very powerful at the same time, allows you to have tactical flexibility while making you do more stuff with your own hands than any game until now. It’s a shooter ai... |

Far Cry 2 is a very good game, and this is a statement that’s also been backed up by our review of the title. It brought a whole new shooter experience to a pretty saturated genre and took realism to new heights.

I've been under the spell of Far Cry 2 lately. After having played it on the Xbox 360 to see how the control element felt, I switched to the PC and I am currently in the process of listening to the creepy communications tower voice in order to assassinate everyone I can. But I've been thinking that the game... |

I am basically a PC gamer. I tolerate consoles, especially now that most developers are releasing their best titles on them, but in my mind the mouse and keyboard setup cannot be replaced by a controller, no matter how well configured it is and how much motion tracking it incorporates. So I usually dread playing shoo... |

Far Cry 2 was one of the most expected titles lately, largely due to the fact that it was the spiritual successor of one of the most popular shooters published by Ubisoft, Far Cry.
