Far Cry 2



Far cry 2, a game long anticipated and turned out to have nothing to do with the first game, but in my opinion was still good. This is my Personal reveiw of the game, if you have questions then there is a comment section below.

Gameplay.
Far cry 2 is a first person shooter that i would compare to something like The Grand theft auto series or saints row series but in a first person veiw. The game map is about 50 quare km and is completely open and there are all kinds of missions to choose from. There are story missions(which are reqired to move the game progression along), medicine missions(required to keep your malaria in check, otherwise you get sick and die), and other freelancer missions like assination missions and arm's dealer missions which both require the destruction of a place/vehicule or killing of someone. payment in game is through diamonds which you use to buy and upgrade weapons, but are only available through story missions.

Story.
The story in far cry 2 is that your a mercenary. there are different characters to choose from but all in all the game stays more a less the same. The main story is that you have been ordered to kill "The Jackal", an arms dealer that is supplying the two factions in country that are fighting each other. you end up sick with malaria and the jackal finds you, but you failed the mission or so he says. after a unknown period of time you wake up and fight your way out of the town and get to finding the jackal.

Overall.
Far cry is a enjoyable game, but at times can be boring and even frustrating. An example of this would be how much driving you do and some of the enemy spawn points. The problem i had was driving half way across the world just to get to the place and end up getting shot in the back. This problem isn't a huge one but is to be noted. Otherwise the game runs smoothly and the shooting is fluent.

Score: 4.5/5

metro last light Advertisment



This is a trailer for an upcoming game, Metro last light. This trailer uses different colors and styles to make the game more interesting and get people to wonder what it will be like. Mostly darker colors and shades are used in the game to establish a dark, somewhat sad, dying world. The game is set in a world 21 years after a nuclear war. the people live in the metro tunnels because the surface in mostly poisonous and requires a gas mask if you wish to get somewhere outside the metro. From what I've heard the game is set 1 year after the first game Metro 2033 and a civil war has started for control of the tunnels. It is also clear that the nuclear winter has started to end as in the trailer you can see there's very little, to no snow anymore. In the game from what I'm guessing the world has started to return to a more normal weathered state and the changes in the world are changing the people and causing the struggle for power, as i would think who ever controls the tunnels might have a chance at controlling the surface.
