"Well the current title has yet to settle on the shelves, but Ubisoft are hard at it’s next iteration of the Far Cry Franchise, and we’re back in Africa this time as well.

For me that’s a good thing actually. I prefer games based around this style of gameplay rather than some demonic unnatural force. The monsters this time are Human Beings, the worst kind.

It’s great to see their commitment to staying in the African region, as there’s much to be said about both current situations, as wel..."

"When it comes to the likes of Uwe Boll or Paul W.S. Anderson, a sound case can be argued for incompetence and a distinct lack of nounce after weighing up the terrible twosome’s respective movie portfolios, but writer Nicole LaPorte offers that videogame narratives are simply unable to sustain successful movie spin offs.

"Ubisoft has announced it has pushed back the release date of several AAA titles to fiscal 2008 which starts April 1st. The following titles are affected:
* Tom Clancy's EndWar
* Far Cry 2
* Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway"

"The game will be entirely open-ended and non-linear. Instead of using individual maps, the game will take place in a sprawling nondescript land in Africa, with terrain ranging from savanna to jungle, similar to those seen in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, Just Cause and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl."

"There is a catch however, the game free version of the game will come with in-game advertising. I'm not sure to what extent this is, but I imagine it to be bearable. I'm also not sure if this download includes the original sandbox editor. Actually, after seeing the screenshot fileplanet is using, I'm not even sure if this is the original FarCry. Especially seeing as you'll be playing as the famous ' John Carver'?

If you've never played FarCry or you don't currently own it, then I suggest y..."
