Far Cry (PC)

Looking for intense gameplay, gorgeous scenery and graphics that make your eyes fill with tears of joy? Then grab a tissue and take a gander at Far Cry.

And a high-spec game Far Cry is, I have a Athlon ...  Read the complete review

You are Jack Carver, a simple man who has been hired by a foxy looking reporter lady to take her out to some islands where she's going to do a spot of investigating. However, not long after the curvaceous (and not at all sensibly attired) woman has gone ashore, someone has decides that they don't much like the look of your boat. They promptly blow it up with the use of a rocket launcher. The gits! I hope you're insured. Luckily, you're flung free and manage to make it ashore where you collapse unconscious. When you awake, you find yourself in a cave. What are you going to do? Once you start exploring, you overhear an armed and dangerous looking man enquire ...  Read the complete review
