Well I got hold of a cheap copy of Far Cry the other day, and played it one afternoon.
Can't say I'm that impressed. Graphics are good and everything, but I think I've been spoiled by HL2, which is just in a different league. The acting and plot in Far Cry seems so cheesy and dated in comparison. It's a cliche, but HL2 really has "raised the bar".
If I ever come across a game scene as good as the bridge section in HL2 again, I'll be very surprised. Do you think a computer game can win an Oscar for photography? :-)
Just thought I'd share this with you,

Edit: Whoops I mean Far Cry, not Fallout!!
