    At this week's DreamHack computer festival in Sweden, Ubisoft Montreal showed off more than 20 minutes of its upcoming shooter Far Cry 2, currently in development for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

    Very cool.

    on the last demonstration, the Game was running 40+ FPS on a 8800GTS g92 512mb with a C2d E6600 OCed to 2.8ghz all max settings @ 1600x1080 or something similar, id be happy if the game was that highly optimized, but my Brain just wont understand why would Ubi do this.
