Planning Your Attack in Far Cry 2

Once again, taking control of the gameplay in Far Cry 2 is the key to having fun.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Kinda Sorta Scary

New PC Game F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin screenshotI 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...

Diablo II – Video Game Crack

Diablo II - Classic PC gameHere 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.
