    If you liked the Grand Theft Auto franchise and other free world, gory shooters, than Far Cry 2 may just be the thing that you were looking for. An enhanced graphical engine with newer shading properties makes this game look shiny and brilliant to the eyes – even if most of your time is spent driving around and shooting rebels to unlock safe houses.

But why is this the newest trend in Xbox 360 games?

    Why Most Games are Single Player
    It really boils down to a few issues in particular. The gaming companies that develop and create these video games struggle to merge vast playing fields into an engine that the Xbox 360 will be capable of handling for two players on the same console. And at the same time, they are constantly trying to make games for the Xbox 360 bigger, longer, more realistic and better. Okay, so this I entirely understand. Read more
