FarCry 3
FarCry 3 starts with a very immersive scene, not unlike The Elder Scrolls series. A variation on ‘you are jailed and must escape to meet a greater destiny’. The scenario from that point is classic – save your friends – but the storytelling is effective at capturing the main characters rise from a frat boy to a deadly jungle predator……
Deus Ex 3 is near
… and it is pushing all the right buttons so far : From the pro-augmentation site for Sarif Industries to the rallying cry again augmentations, so far the game seems to capture the scope and excitement that made the first version so good at the time.

The begining of the game was novel, dark, sexy and enticing…. but somewhere down the storyline, this game turned into a tedious, painlful and dreadful experience.

Passed the first bitter taste of Steam, sound glitches and crashes, running through the rest of the game was tremendously enjoyable. Reaching the end without having to jump through the usual impossible…
