![]() Not Wow there's a T-Rex in San Diego!' Jurassic Park, but proper, Spielberg Jurassic Park. I come to you from the beaches of Micronesia with a clipboard, Powerpoint presentation and jar of promotional lollipops to spread the good word about Far Cry: the first game to truly show us the limitless possibilities of next-generation PC titles and the first game that has ever made me fall out my chair inįear after a particularly violent monster attack (no joke). When Moses came down from Mount Sinai he only had ten salient lifestyle tips to offer - and from these, two world religions were given their foundations. ![]() I've got to tell you about my new favourite game and have a mere three-thousand words to do it. I haven't got time for the normal pleasantries, banter and a funny thing happened to me on the way to the office' anecdotes. ![]() Unless you opt for a more Rambo: First Blood approach in foliage, of course.

The opposing grunts have choppers, rocket launchers, mini-gun emplacements, snipers and rocket-toting patrol boats at their disposal and will not make your journey an easy one. Stealth is the order of the day, but there'll still be plenty of bloody combat before bedtime too. Should you make your presence known, they'll be hiding, scattering and hunting you down like the dog you are in no time. In your way are a crack team of mercenaries who may spend their time chatting about fishing, but as soon as they see or hear you (or see a flare sent up by one of their compatriots), some mightily impressive Al kicks in. Your mission is to traverse sand banks and beaches, sneak through jungles, fight your way through abandoned forts and destroy the satellite dish at the top of the island's mountain. Now Far Cry has joined the hall of fame, and if you fail to coo and paw at the screen then you can no longer be considered a human being.īeautiful isn't it? And bloody hard as well. Every now and then a demo appears that's so vast, wide-ranging and just so goddamn gob-smacking that it demands copious joyful replays. ![]()
