Yeah, I feel Far Cry 2 is going to be really lost in the shuffle, especially in Best of lists because a lot of people haven't played it. Then again, maybe they will be getting it with that hot deal from last week and will be able to see how good it is.

Far Cry 2 was on sale for almost 50% off a few places last week, which is when I picked it up. All told, it cost me about $20, and is an excellent game so far. The only real gripe I have is that there's no checkpoints (on consoles), and I've had to replay an hour of gameplay more than once because I forgot. The animations are top notch and really add to the immersion, though.

Far Cry 2 is a fantastic game, but ultimately it wasn't for me. At first, exploring the world was really fun, but after a couple missions it got to be a real chore.
Maybe I'll get back to it in the future.

Meh...I was hoping for a more in-depth review. But it's short and sweet.
A welcomed addition!

Out of the short reviews here, there are longer versions of Mirror's Edge, Quantum of Solace, Pure, Far Cry 2 and MK vs. DC over at Colony of Gamers all done by me.
Here's a general link to the Features forum that all the reviews at CoG sit in and you can read from there http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums ... ay.php?f=6

I originally intended to pick up Far Cry 2 during the blitz of online sales last weekend, but got swayed by other games. At one point I realized my Amazon cart was well over $300 and had to purge a lot of it (all games too, no hardware).
I'm going to be picking a lot of these up after the holidays anyway, after a price drop. I think Mirror's Edge might be the only one I get before Christmas.

Dang, I had planned on linking to the in depth version of these but it totally slipped my mind.

I didnt notice the beginning parapgrah and i was like "What Dead Space has Co-Op i never heard if this?." The reviews seems to be accurate, i really want to try out Mirrors'Edge, Farcry 2 and Quantum of Solace

No way. Tut of co-op? out of the site focus?
I don't like it. Sorry. I came to the site only for the co-op features/reviews/info. Not the others games.

Loren, you and I see eye-to-eye on Far Cry 2. To me, it's a perfect game for when your co-op friends aren't online.
