Far Cry Update/Patch XBOX 360
Anyone who owns Far Cry 2 on the XBOX may well have encountered the complete bugger of a glitch that corrupts your save file so you can’t play any further. I don’t know if this one appears on the PC/PS3 versions, but I was quite angry and annoyed that it had affected my copy. I love the game and it was one of the first I played on my XBOX when I first got it in October. Well, I stopped playing after wasting quite a few hours and reading about the bug, but I’ve been checking the Far Cry 2 site every few days and two days ago they released a patch that is supposed to cure some (but not all) of the instances in which the save bug may occur. Apparently it has been difficult for the developers first to locate then to eliminate because it can come about in different ways. Here’s hoping it’ll allow me to play the game though. I would have thought they could have located this problem in play testing before shipping the product, but who knows, really? sure, it is essentially a broken product when you buy it (so many people have complained about this bug) but perhaps now it’s on the mend. There may be a follow-up post, only time will tell if it’ll be a positive or negative!
Lara goes down under in Tomb Raider: Underworld
I’m a massive fan of Tomb Raider and have enjoyed all the games to date. So today when I was offered 25 quid’s worth of whatever I wanted and saw the banner on Amazon for the new Tomb Raider game I was eager to investigate. I doubted I’d have much luck, seeing as I’m still on a PS2, but I was surprised to see I was catered for too. I’m not sure how the version I’ll be getting ranks alongside the others, but given that the game engine looks very similar to the Legend/Anniversary incarnation, hopefully the differences will be minimal. Coming to a total of £24.98 I was fairly pleased with my buy. Since I’ve been home, I decided to do a bit of research to see how the new adventure is shaping up, and here’s what I’ve found…
