Read the Arma 2 review here

Far Cry 2 was released last week. I’ve played it non-stop on steam since installing. I am very impressed with this game. The graphics are on par with other modern games. The AI is slightly glitchy. The vehicles are necessary. And the gameplay is intriguing and fresh. That being said, WTF? It’s not developed by crytek. It’s not using the crytek engine. It uses a new engine called DunIa. It’s developed by Ubisoft Montreal. They generally have good games come out of that shop. I’m not saying Far Cry 2 isn’t good. It is. There are a few things I just can’t get past.

For those who don’t know, the new LucasArts game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be released on every platform except PC. As a hardcore PC gamer, this really burns me. As a 20 year customer of LucasArts products, this is a betrayal. The producer in charge of the xbox360 and ps3 versions of the game, Cameron Suey said in a May 12th Interview with videogamer.com reporter Wesley Yin-Poole that “…someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience, they would have to turn all the settings down and it wouldn’t be the same game.” A watered down experience?

According to this July 16th article, SW:TFU is coming to the iphone. Wouldn’t be the same game you say? In fact, the game is going to be released on Xbox360, PS3, PS2, Wii, PSP, DS, and now the iphone.

Cameron, when you talk about the PC, please be honest with the people who have paid salaries at LucasArts for 20 years. LucasArts wouldn’t exist without the PC platform. I think LucasArts owes their PC platform customers a debt. You can easily repay it by investing in full development of The Force Unleashed on PC.

As mentioned in my previous editorial, I purchase games from Steam. This time, I purchased Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 which is available here. Not 20 minutes later, a cracker group already released the game on the Internet. Ubisoft is really keeping their “la la la” policy. By that, of course, I mean they as a corporation are sticking their fingers in their ears and singing loudly so they simply cannot hear what’s going on around them. It is quite a bad policy.

The optimal answer to piracy here is to provide instant supply. When it’s available to pirate before it’s available for sale, who’s going to wait to buy it? Obviously this guy! I dare say not many others. Ubisoft fix this policy. It’s alienating your paying customers!
