    hmm, that looks fun. i didn't realize it was a complete free roam, i wasn't interested in this thinking it would baisicly be crysis in a different setting, but it might cool to try that. Kinda odd that they named it far cry 2 if it has nothing to do with far cry...

    There are so many good looking games coming out and I have no idea what to buy. Fallout 3, Fable 2, Farcry2, Left 4 Dead, Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, new COD, Dead Space and not to mention the WOW xpac which will most likely eat any of the little free time I have left for games anyway. I have about 15 games right now that I'm halfway finished with just because I either lost interest or went back to WOW but all of these look worth the money.

    When in doubt, buy none and wait for player reviews. You can only know if you like a game if you play it and make it your own experience although some user input would be good also.

    The gamespot review is also out, from what I've read the game is more open than Crysis and has very nice looking visuals to go with the improvised FPS gameplay.
