Get READY! For October 21...

I have got no idea as to whether or not this was planned, or if it is a highly advanced case of coincidence...

Both Far Cry 2 and Fable 2 are to be released on October 21 -- and I am sure that we will all have a hard time deciding (depending on what system you may be using -- though, the 360 is the most applicable in this case), which one to...wait a second, not which one to buy first...no...which one to PLAY first...

First off, we know that Far Cry has come a long ways, since the original came out back earlier this decade...and from what I have seen, it will most likkely be hailed as one of the great games of 2008, possibly even of this decade...

PC Gamer UK already reviewed, and ended up giving it a flashy 94 percent final score -- praising both it's stunningly addictive free roaming gameplay, as well as its beautifully rendered and seemless open - world visuals...

To me it has an impression of "Stalker meets Crysis" ++++++...

(You can read the full review some place on the web that I am not allowed to link to, but here is a picture anyway)...

It was beautiful when it came out for it's time, and it will make the gaming market beautiful again, once it has been released within the next few days...

Now, as for Fable 2 -- this time, Peter Moleneux (I presume you all know who he is -- if not, just know that he was the creative genius behind games such as Fable, Black and White 1 and 2, The Movies, and many more) aims to let Fable 2 live up what he says about it (NOTE: he has had a reputation for stating unfinished features as finished ones during interviews, before the release of the game), and I seriously cannot wait...

Full with too many features to list (some of them being the ability to live from a six year old to a ninety year old with the aging process completely implemented visually -- owning a house -- running a business -- marrying most anyone in the world of Fable -- and adventuring of course -- all with the stunning visuals of Fable 2's custom GFX Engine), and yet, I am sure that both RPG hardcore and softcore fans, will be able to enjoy this gigantic and expansive masterpiece from Lionhead Studios...

So much to look forward to -- and if you want to learn more, just go to GamesRadar for more info, in a full write - up by, well, GamesRadar of course!

So get ready folks, for October 21 -- and check your bank account for every last penny (well, maybe), while all the while getting ready to enjoy these two new fantastic looking sequels!
