I have to admit the big releases have disappointed this autumn. What is worse the ones that I played at Eurogamer and that looked Awesome just fell flat. Namely NSF and AC3. I keep getting the feeling with AC3 that there is a really awesome game waiting to come out but it just doesn't. Need for Speed was fun but its messed up progression means it has no staying power unless you are obsessive about being better than everyone else on your friend list. Hitman is good when it lets me play the way I want to. I think thats what I like about Far Cry... at no point yet has it forced me to play a certain way. Doing a mad dash up behind a guard standing next to a truck, stabbing him in the back and then firing at his buddy only to have 2 more jeeps pull up, throwing a nade haphazardly into the van and spaying with the Assualt rifle and then watching the nade go taking 2 jeeps with it and throwing dead bodies around the area was just as exciting as sneaking into a checkpoint avoiding the guards and taking them out 1 at a time. Fuck me its going to be a long day and our fucking house guest isn't going to make things any easier.
It's going to be a long day
