Cry - Alastair Galbraith

FarCry

Advantages: Excellent price, highly addictive, beautiful graphics and amazing multiplayer online
Disadvantages: Can get frustratingly hard, storyline abit much, need a good PC

Upon reading a review of FarCry in my monthly computer magazine, and looking at the screenshots shown and the high gold award given to it, I decided it might not be a bad idea to buy this game as I hadn't played a decent first-person-shooter in a long time. I don't regret buying it one bit, although I did pay the full £25 price when it first came out, not realising it was going to be on sale for as little as £5 In a few days time. The storyline to FarCry is a little over-the-top I feel. You are sent to some islands in the South Pacific to investigate some strange goings-on, and end up being embroiled in battles with other mercenaries and even alien type creatures. Eventually whilst playing the game I lost plot of what was really going on, not that the storyline is the games strongpoint, I find its far too complex and boring trying to ...

Review of Far Cry (PC)

CRY WOLF (2005)

Advantages: Sophiscated storyline, unpredictable and swaying viewer's opinions throughout.
Disadvantages: Some under developed characters. Not for the classic slasher fans.

take place. This is the excellent approach to scaring the entire school. However, one by one the named victims start to be killed off, exactly as described. The myth they have created has come to life and it is for real. Owen needs to warn others before it's too late for everyone and himself. ~~~~~~~ REVIEW ~~~~~~~ When I hired 'Cry Wolf' to watch, I thought it was going to be normal teenage slasher movie. Even at the beginning of the film of a teenage murdering scene, I thought it's going to be an average film. All you need to do is to work out who the killer is among the main characters, which a lot of chasing and dodging. There are just too many of these films about since Scream, I doubt this would be inventive. However, this film is not the typical teenage slasher movie you will expect. The plot of the film is ...

Review of Cry Wolf (DVD)

Far Cry

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, excellent physics, great action and gameplay, challenging AI
Disadvantages: Demands a lot of your PC, broadband required for best performance on multi-player

When I first heard about Far Cry, I made it my mission to play it, demo or otherwise. I was astounded at the sheer beauty of the landscapes, not to mention the fact that it was one of a very small number of modern first-person-shooters. Basically, you play Jack Carver, a boat skipper/charter who has a history that he?d like to forget. He has been hired by Val Constantine to take her to the uncharted island of Micronesia. On safely delivering Val to the island, Jack has his boar blown up by some mercenaries who, obviously, weren?t too happy to have him there. And so your mission begins. What was my first play of it like? Well, after waiting several hours (over a period of about a month) for my tiny little 56kb dial-up connection to receive all 100+ MB of the demo, I was slightly disheartened. Why? Well, my computer had 256MB ...
