Far Cry 2 – Starter Weapon Loadout
Here's a detailed rundown of what would be best referred to as my starter or 'first tier' weapon loadout in Far Cry 2. The star of the show here is the M1903 sniper rifle which becomes available right after you finish the training missions...

Far Cry 2 Video Game Strategies
One of the key things to having fun in Far Cry 2 is to be keenly aware of enemy alert levels and to only put the enemy into alert mode on your own terms and when you are fully ready. Here's a detailed description of enemy behavior and how to avoid pitfalls which lead to getting repeatedly flanked and outgunned...
Planning Your Attack in Far Cry 2
Once again, taking control of the gameplay in Far Cry 2 is the key to having fun.

Here are some of my favorite attack plans that you can use to help turn the game around...

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Kinda Sorta Scary
I thought it might be difficult to go back to a corridor-style first person shooter after playing the likes of open-world masterstrokes like Far Cry 2 and Crysis but F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin did not disappoint. This game is genuinely creepy at times and guarantees plenty of intense action-packed firefights but it does suffer from a kind of split-personality...

Far Cry 2 – Freedom of Game
Far Cry 2 is a gorgeous first-person shooter that specializes in complete immersion. The quintessential HUD is stripped away and the player is allowed to freely roam around 50 square kilometres of rugged African outback on a quest to kill a mysterious gunrunner known as 'The Jackal'. A wide array of weapons, completely open-ended gameplay and spectacular graphics make for a PC gaming experience that is in a league of its own.

Diablo II – Video Game Crack
Here is the classic (and quintessential) PC game that literally defines the RPG genre and is officially the best selling computer role playing game of all time. Diablo II picks up where Diablo I left off and adds better graphics and deeper gameplay. Addictive as all hell, this game has an entire online cult orbiting around it which buys and sells in-game magic items for real money (much to the chagrin of Battle.net) as well as droves of diehard fans bragging to have the best Diablo II character builds. If you haven't heard about this game then you should perhaps quit the nether regions of space in which you've been hanging out, return to planet Earth and check this out...
