Upon its release, Far Cry awed the world by beating Half Life 2 and Doom 3 (then most anticipated titles) by being the first of a series of “next gen” first person shooter’s. It was critically and publicly acclaimed for its cutting-edge graphics, AI, and environment, and won further praise for being the first game to support HDR.
Half-Life is the groundbreaking FPS that follows the "everyman" hero Gordon Freeman. This is the first installment of the ongoing series, which ties together aliens and government conspiracies. Really, this game doesn't need any introduction...
Earth 2160 follows the progress of the factions, the United Civilized States, the Eurasian Dynasty and the Lunar Corporation, who, after escaping the doomed Earth, headed for Mars. After a time of relative peace and recovery, the factions once again come to blows, with a fourth faction of extraterrestrial nature, named the Morphidians, coming into play. Just a few thousand humans were specifically chosen for the evacuation of Earth, and as such manpower and resources are limited.
