If you don’t know what Rage is I’d suggest you climb out from under that rock cause any self respecting South African gamer would be able to tell you it’s the biggest computer, gaming and technology expo we have in South Africa. Last Updated: October 6, 2008

Yes I realise that this is the way of the world and that all software products have a better version in development before the original version is released but I have to say I don’t like it. It just feels wrong knowing that we are going to be playing something that is already old according to the guys who developed …

We have seen a few video’s of the African bush in Far Cry 2 and in all respects it is looking very good indeed… This time we take a sneak peak at some Jungle gameplay and get to see a little Bioshock like back story telling… This game is looking really good and you can be sure we will have …

Gametrailers.com has released a Far Cry 2 video blowout showing off multiple gameplay videos of different scenarios at different times of day. While we can assume that the videos are all taken from the PC version, the console footage we have seen is looking mighty fine as well. It seems that Far Cry 2 is doing a great job of capturing the atmosphere of Africa amazingly well and while most of us only really see this side of Africa whilst at national parks, there is still something about it that hits home everytime I see one of these videos.

[Update] Megarom has just confirmed that we will be getting Far Cry 2 on the 24th as well…  Thanks guys 24th of October is when Far Cry 2 is scheduled to now land… to me that’s a little close to the Gears 2 release date and is, in my mind, a little risky from Ubisoft’s point of view. However I …

Many developers will go out of their way to try and pull gamers into their worlds. From artwork, graphics, sound and animation there are tons of different ways to make the player feel like he is actually running around in the virtual world that is laid out in front of him. This video of Far Cry 2 explains a few of the ways that the developers have tried to do all they can to keep you feeling completely immersed in the experience. I have played a few games over time that specifically kept you in the players head, even when cutscenes or animations are taking place and it really makes a difference. The latest of which is Condemned 2, by keeping the player inside the head of the character almost 100% of the time you really feel a certain physicality in the world, which helps that much more when something scary happens because it makes you really want to run for your sorry life. No need to mention how good this game is looking, it is quite apparent.
