Far Cry 2 is an ugly game, simply because it all too accurately portrays a modern world conflict in a war-torn African nation.
3 out of 6

"awesome"

Pros:
easy manipulating with keyboard or mouse good graphics with landscape and animals

Cons:
resapawning, weapons jamming at crucial times , maybe that makes it more interesting
its so addictive i cant leave it alone, the graphics are good but you need a fairly topend card, its one you get the hang of the sequence of events you can go for it the weapons are ba bit obsolete but when they work they work you betcha, a few glitches or whatever they are as to how many bullets it takes to kill them sometimes, my worst complaint is the problem with respawning if you elimenate a post and walk away and come back to the same post the soldiers are back again . can someone please explain can i turn the respawning feature off .

Quote "Compared to single player, multiplayer feels anti-climatic, with only standard deathmatch and CTF variants."

Why do they always forget to include Co-Op multiplayer functionality to games these days? It's very rare to come across games that still offer "what I believe" to be one of the most fun styles of multiplayer gaming.

Review Score 5 out of 6

Empire: Total War is a game that’ll appeal to history nerds and fans of previous Total War titles.

Left 4 Dead, close to a truly interactive zombified movie

Left 4 Dead, close to a truly interactive zombified movie

Review Score 5 out of 6

Welcome to the first zombie movie we’ve seen that’s actually any good. Left 4 Dead finally gets gaming away from the trigger-point mechanic: you have no idea if a dozen zombies are around the corner, or one, or none.

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn Of War II, the RPG becomes all-out combat

Review Score 5 out of 6

You might expect Dawn Of War II to follow in traditional sequel style, offering a real time strategy experience with more Orks than you can throw a Bolter at.
