Sony PlayStation 2

(Game consoles)

"Pro's
Still being made.
reasonable size game selection sort of don't let the fanboys fool you.
controller good for driving games not so good for fps imo.
moddable
I


cons
over priced when it first came out & now for it's age it still is.
most games are crap or lag offline like a wet dog.
online-to be fair it was an after thought..lol..
tho it can be modded which is great, to really get your moneys worth your better off with the xbox 1 or at the least have both

summary:
was ok in it's day online was fun tho lag was frustrating more due to the hardware & software than the servers themselves,one has too applaud Sony for continuing production even if most games are shite so a realistic 3 stars from me"

Microsoft Xbox

(Game consoles)

"Cheap to buy & cheap to mod,go the extra & install a extender kit & have 3 hdd's,i have with two of my xbx's maaan it's freak'n awasome the only thing that comes close to any modded xbox is the computer & even then it's not as portable,two more xbox's are in the works for the same treatment,they should've kept making them like Sony has with the PS2 what a cry'n shame"

Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360)

(Video games)

"The Bad:
I expected better,much better for a so called next gen game,sadly this is the sort of thing id expect to see & experience when playing socom games on a PS2 in offline mode,i dont know what it is about the halo games or bad company but this game could do with it & the AI could do with a good dose of whatever intelligence engine the developers of sniper elite used.

The Good:
The story not what i expected its a refreshing change & that malaria cracks me up.
Large maps as youd expect.
The palm map thingy is a nice touch as is the cell phone & flame thrower,just remember to move when you set things a lite..lol..
As before youve got vehicles,always better to drive than walk imo,screw the gas house emissions

Summary:
I tend to never throw anything out & since i still play the other two farcrys on a regular basis along with the halo & sniper elite games,i guess this will get added to the mix,i just wish it was a little more advanced like the halos are in i assume the engine those games use,in NZ this game is $100. ($50. USA),no i wouldnt pay that for it,$30 tops NZ so ill be waiting for it to drop in price,all in all they better pull their finger out for the next one"
