Kotaku reports:

While video games often present a clean and polished atmosphere, Far Cry 2 presents a world that "isn't this clean, sterile, digital representation of Africa." Guns jam and wounds that are left untreated become fatal. As for leveling up your character, that plotline begins to sound a but like Haze.

Far Cry 2 on Xbox 360, PS3 too

360 News | Far Cry 2

Jan 3, 2008 In one of its traditional ten-minutes-'til-home-time press releases, Ubisoft has revealed that the sequel to Far Cry will be coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 as well as PC. The Africa-set follow-up recently saw a month delay, putting its release back to March - though from what little we've seen of it so far we'll be impressed if it even makes it out that early. It's nice to see that home consoles at least aren't getting a watered-down port this time around (not that Instincts was at ... » Read More

A Look at Far Cry 2 Creative Director Clint Hocking's Critique of BioShock

360 News from N4G | Far Cry 2

360 - Far Cry 2 - A Look at Far Cry 2 Creative Director Clint Hocking's Critique of BioShock

Clint Hocking: "To cut straight to the heart of it, Bioshock seems to suffer from a powerful dissonance between what it is about as a game, and what it is about as a story. By throwing the narrative and ludic elements of the work into opposition, the game seems to openly mock the player for having believed in the fiction of the game at all. The leveraging of the game's narrative structure against its ludic structure all but destroys the player's ability to feel connected to either, forcing the player to either abandon the game in protest (which I almost did) or simply accept that the game cannot be enjoyed as both a game and a story, and to then finish it for the mere sake of finishing it".

Read on to find out more of what the Creative Director on Far Cry 2 had to say.

Far Cry 2 coming to Xbox 360?

360 News from N4G | Far Cry 2

360 - Far Cry 2 - Far Cry 2 coming to Xbox 360?

GameSpot found a listing for an Xbox 360 edition of Ubisoft's upcoming PC game Far Cry 2. The original Far Cry was a hit for the publisher upon its release for 2004, and the first-person shooter quickly made its way to consoles. However, much like the game's menagerie of mutated mercenaries, the game had been changed along the way. The Xbox played host to Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts Evolution, while the franchise burst into the new generation of hardware with Far Cry Instincts Predator on the Xbox 360 and Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii. While the GameFly listing offers no description of the game, the fact that the title has remained unchanged suggests that the online rental service expects the Xbox 360 game to be fundamentally the same game as the PC edition.
