It can be a hard game to start and push through to the end

If it wasn't for the two guides that I will list below this game would have been a tough game to play through and complete on your own. I say this because at times this game can be just awful. When unloading a full Uzi clip into a guy at point blank range you would expect them to die, but enemies brush it off and get back up. The game is quite glitchy. The biggest problem being the interview tapes with the Jackal. Once you reach the Southern territory, the same recording is stuck playing for every tape you find. So forget about following this secondary story that builds the Jackal's character.

Story wise it has very little relation to the first Far Cry game on the 360. The setting has now changed from the tropics to some unnamed war torn African country. You can give the developers some credit for trying something different in this respect. The game has you playing a mercenary/hired gun for two waring factions that are at odds with each other. Both sides are trying to take power in the country and you will end up playing both sides if you want to finish the game. Oh, lets also add a bought of Malaria while we are at it, that completely halts game progress until you take medication to regain your vision and movement. The story is poor, the gameplay can be rough, and overall it's just a bland shooter that you will barely remember once you have completed the game.

  • I have to admit that when I started this game I had some preconceptions about what I was to expect from a game titled Firewatch. What I was expecting was some sort of forest simulator where you put out fires. That you would be working for the forest service as a lookout. Keeping an keen eye out for possible fires or smoke in the Wyoming wilderness. I also thought that I...

You will be able to interact with objects by pressing the A...

  • When you think about the stealth genre in gaming Splinter Cell is one of the games that will immediately come to mind.

There are books based on the character as well and just...

  • Before it arrived on the Xbox 360 in 2007, Carcassonne was first created as a board game in the year of our Lord 2000. Interestingly enough the board game was named after a real fortified city that sits on a hill in the south of France and it shares the same name as the games. 1755048507319226772 All three have a commonality that says it’s the Middle Ages.
