XIII is more fun that I remembered, even though I hate the save game system, or lack there-of. E.g. the snow valley level, there wasn't even one checkpoint during the level, so you had to play the whole level from start to finish without dying. Which just meant lots of replaying of same parts... Fortunately the level was quite short, but still.
But there's just something so satisfying of shooting an unsuspecting enemy soldier in the head from like two miles away. with a freaking bolt arrow gun! After the first few levels the game seems to have a lot of sniping, which is always very nice IMHO. Who wouldn't like to kill enemies when they are unable to shoot back with their pea guns?
Far Cry 2 is a bit on hold at the moment, sometimes I'm a bit bored by it even though there's really nothing that wrong with the game. Drive, stop, snipe all enemies from the enemy checkpoint, drive, stop, snipe all the enemies from the checkpoint, etc. ad nauseam...
But at least Far Cry 2 has lots of sniping too, as soon as you can afford to buy a sniping rifle. After that you rarely need any other weapon, it appears. Except for gunning down the pursuing enemy jeeps and gunboats with the mounted gun in your vehicle, maybe.
