Far Cry 2 is a mission-based, open-ended FPS set in a fictional african country on the verge of civil war. The story is not even remotely connected to the original Far Cry, so this game is more like a Boiling Point fan's dream come true. Who needs Trigens when angry mercs are everywhere ?

It features a sophisticated combat system that lets you use your character's left hand like never before to shoot, throw, stab... and ultimately host the powerful Shadowhand.

Wheelman is an over-the-top open-world driving and shooting game developed by Vin Diesel's development studio, Tigon Studios and published by both Ubisoft and Midway. Diesel himself lends his likeness and voice to the game, which focuses strongly on feeling like an action movie. Gameplay mostly consists of insane driving through Barcelona with no focus at all on realism and instead a concentration of feeling like an action movie filled with stunts and insane chases. If you like crazy fun gameplay more than polish and graphics, Wheelman might be worth a chance purchase.
