Ubisoft released some sales figures today as part of their financial results reporting. Listed are the to-date numbers for Far Cry 2, Prince of Persia, Raving Rabbids TV Party & Shaun White Snowboarding. More »Hope You Didn't Buy Prince of Persia Last Week
Because it just got a rather substantial price drop, just in time for a last minute stocking stuffer. What was $59.99 at launch, just two weeks ago, is now a mere $39.99 at GameStop. Eek! More »Far Cry 2 Patch Enables Hot, Sweaty Widescreen Action
Far Cry 2 launched on PC sans widescreen. Considering everything else on the PC version was superior to the console iterations (quicksaves!), that was an odd move. Nevermind. It's fixed now. More »Intel Gives The World Two Far Cry Missions

Far Cry 2 Review: Hurry Boy, It's Waiting There For You
You can mostly forget the "2" after the title up there. This game has nothing to do with Far Cry. No mutants, no linear corridors, no gaudy shirts. No, Ubisoft have traded all that in for the tale of a very real, very human mercenary set loose upon a war-torn African country. Where the first game teased freedom before settling into a disappointing first-person shooter, Far Cry 2 begins as a first-person shooter then settles in to become one of the most open-ended and limitless games of the year.

A Far Cry From Your Standard PS3
The folks over at Bit-tech teamed up with Ubisoft and German uber-modder Oliver “Butterkneter” König to create a special PlayStation 3 to commemorate the release of Far Cry 2. Instead of simply painting the PS3 like any sane person, Butterkneter created a painstakingly detailed base for the console, complete with rocks, plants, an empty magazine, a skull, and a friendly little ant. Then he painted the console, right? No, he removed the case, went to town with a dremel tool, and then painted the case, created the awesome spectacle seen above.

What happens when you take one of the most successful shooters of 2004, change the development teams, scrap the old settings, characters, and story lines, and even go as far as creating your own version of the original game's award-winning engine? You get Ubisoft's Far Cry 2, the story of one man's struggle to take down the warmongering arms dealer responsible for destabilizing a large chunk of a fictional Central African state. Can the game stand on its own, or was swapping alien mutagens for malaria a monumentally bad idea? The game critics take sides after the jump. More »
