A fun road trip back to the glory days of flash games on the office computers. A great reminisce of simpler times, but still to this day, a trio of fantastic games. Thank you.
The music is phenomenal, with the added bonus of accompanying an excellent space opera RTS.
Far Cry 2 is one of those games you have fond memories of, but upon return you notice how nostalgia can color your memories. Its a good game, but can become tedious at times with its routine. A little too many patrol checkpoints and driving around to reach the goal for my tastes. However for $10 you should at least get 10 hours out of it. Of the simplest concerns the game does function. No problems for me on Windows 7 64 bit, though you can never know for sure until you test it on your own system. However it would appear, (this I did not know) that a Ubisoft online account is necessary for online play. Upon purchase a cd key was given for online access. In conclusion if you are a die-hard fan, or Far Cry 2 was amongst your favorite games of all time... pick it up. Otherwise its probably smart to wait for Far Cry 3.
Starflight 1 and Starflight 2 Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula, are amongst the finest examples of what the Video Game medium can deliver. They will take you on a journey of discovery, intrigue, and possibly frontier diplomacy (i.e Captain Kirk, less of the Orion Slave girls but more of the Photon Torpedoes). Each title has its own self contained storyline that you are free to discover (No hand holding here), or completely ignore. Throughout the the "Open World" of the two titles, you can go anywhere only limited by your ships capabilities... and if you pissed of an alien or two for whatever reason (Invest in a communications officer, Trust Me!). The Starflight series is a Space Opera. Some say it is a prelude of the things that came (i.e Mass Effect), but that's a lie. Mass Effect and all other title's like it including the excellent Star Control 2, only wish they could match the grandeur of this exemplary DOS title.
