New Review Posted: Far Cry Instincts

Mike Doolittle reviews Far Cry Instincts, and likes it almost as much as I liked the PC version:

"First-person shooters are such a by-the-numbers genre that it's a welcome breath of fresh air when a developer incorporates some genuinely unique elements to differentiate its game from the run-and-gun style that even the best shooters complacently settle into. Such is the case with Far Cry Instincts. Not to be mistaken as a direct port of last year's PC original Far Cry, Instincts is an original game that is essentially a heavily altered version of the PC game."

The rest of the review is right here.

Why is half of the review italicized?

Re: New Review Posted: Far Cry Instincts

Brad's right. I felt that the entire second half of the review was just that good. Apparently, though, most people like to "read" things without "eye strain", so I've changed it to a less dramatic format
