And no thats not a complaint on my height.

I havent been getting many comments on my blogs lately and I assume its becuase I've been posting 8 paragraph novels so I'll try and keep this one short

Some of you may know that I relocated to Cleveland Ohio over the summer for some work, I'm glad to say I have more work waiting for me back home so I'll heading back sometime in the beginning of next month.

In the way of gaming on the other hand, I've heard alot about Farcry 2, some praise it some hate it. I think I fall more in the latter though, the game was never really fun for me and was more of an exercise in patience than anything else. I'll Grant you the graphics were pretty but thats about where my enjoyment ended, the guns have pathetically short range and it seems most of your enemies have superhuman senses where they can pick you out in the dead of night from a hundered yards if you so much as fondle a piece of grass the wrong way. Cars were one way to go in the way of getting you across the vast African plains/jungles but the fact that any enemy you pass will start shooting you on sight and your car has all the durability of a paper airplane means you'll be stopping every 5 minutes to repair your vehicle which makes you sit through a 9 second wrench turning animation. All in all, I was pretty dissapointed, I got about 5 missions in, killed all my buddies and started playing Overlord again.

October on the hand cant get here fast enough, with the release of Dragon Age Origins and Alpha Protocol, and then Assassins Creed 2 later in November, the end of my year looks to be completely booked.

dude, your opinions were so much like mine, I may copy this blog, paste it on my blog section, remove the parts of your work, overlord, alpha protocol and the fact that you only bought far cry 2 recently and it'd be one of my blogs... only good thing I have to say about FC2 is that it has terrific graphics and guns, al the bad things you mentioned are things I've complained about before(except for th gun range thing, I only noticed that on the grenade launcher)... the end of the year will be gamingmania for me. AC2, DragonAge:Origins(maybe), Uncharted 2, Tekken 6(maybe), Fallout 3 GOTY Edition! Oh man!

and btw, if I didn't comment before, it'd be because I wasn't active

@ Sparda_13 : Nah dude, your my most loyal reader
But hell yes its gonna me mad the end of this year, we're all gonna end up looking like hermits in dire need of a shower and shave by the time we make it through those games.

P.S FC2 sucked...it merely proves our good taste.

Even if it were possible for me to play Farcry 2, I probably won't after reading this brief but detailed review of yours.
