  • Words.. not coming… amazing.

    As I wipe the tears from my face, a shaking hand posts this quick note, then back to watch again.

    For years I have loved the Far Cry franchise. For years they have been pushing the FPS bar. With the upcoming release of Far Cry 2, they have taken the bar down, made it into a noose and re-hung it for others who attempt to best them in the Shooter genre. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this:

    I must say, I cannot wait to play this game.

    mrkniceguy is very, very impressed. Oh, yeah.

    Oh, and the game drops October 21st

  • Pub Games: Going Into Debt for My Hero!

    Whoever dreamed up the marketing scheme for Fable 2 must belong to Mensa – as you can see from the blog here, the Mr and I are sucked right into their evil genius schemes.  Today was the release of the Fable II Pub Games, available for free with a pre-order of the full game (coming October 21). I got a chance to play them this afternoon, and I can easily tell you how to waste a few hundred hours before October. Gambling.

    The games (three of them) are fun and unique, I have lost all my money three times over already, and I am racking up lots of debt for my hero. Lots and lots of debt. I imagine that my Fable 2 character will be much like my original Fable character, walking through a swarm of flies with horns coming out of my head bathed in a halo of light and goodness.

    The best part about these games is being in the Fable universe again. The art, the sounds, the music… they all bring back those old familiar memories of kicking chickens and getting wasted at the pub. Er, and saving damsels and slaying bad guys. Yeah, that.

    If you didn’t already pre-order Fable 2, are you crazy? you can download a trial of the games on the Xbox Live Marketplace today. However, if you tend to get easily addicted to gambling-type games (these are cards, dice, and spinners), you should stay far far away.

    I have to go borrow another 100 bucks from the banker. But I’m sure I’ll win the jackpot on the next game. Or the next. Or sometime in the next week. You can’t win if you don’t play, right?

    I am a huge fan of the Far Cry series. So, when i received notice from Ubisoft that a new trailer was out for Far Cry 2, I headed over to GameTrailers to find it. Judging by what I see Far Cry 2 is going to be awesome.

    Check out the sweet visceral action after the jump.
