About Me
Hey guys,

for years you have known me as Ali D but now I am revealed as Alasdair Duncan, who also happens to be a bearded Scottish guy. Who've thunk it, right? I'm currently working with the PC team to cover all things personal computer related and also writing the odd review. I'm also one of the moderators on the forums trying to keep the place all nice and tidy for you all.

Plus I crave attention via the following:

More Far Cry 2 stuff
Alasdair Duncan | 7:25 AM on 09.11.2008 8 comments


Ok, we've already seen that I'm really looking forward to Far Cry 2, I mean hell: I'm getting a new PC this month specifically for games like Far Cry 2 and Left 4 Dead. So you'll forgive me for prattling on a little more about the game....

Ok, first up, the team at Ubisoft have posted a rather humorous developer diary over at Game Trailers:



Kinda cool, hopefully the next one will go into some more detail about the work they all did whilst in Africa. Secondly, the Collectors Edition was announced a few weeks back and it's looking rather nice. However, some casual perusing at Aussie website JB Hi-Fi, revealed that a pre-order with them would be rewarded with a code that would unlock 4 exclusive missions! This is interesting as I'm wondering how this will be implemented. Will it be DLC or will it simply unlock sections of the game that are shipped with every copy regardless. The missions are entitled The Georgian, The Bolivian, Special Delivery and Le Francais. Sorta reminds me of an offer I saw for Too Human, where pre-ordering unlocked a number of sets of special armour. So is this offer an Australian exclusive or has anyone else noticed it around?

I will be building a new PC soon and one of the first games I want for it is this game as well.

I really need a new PC. :[ But, I guess that's why I have a console, even if it is less awesome.

I'd have no problem playing the 360 version of Far Cry 2, I'm no PC elitist. But I've been saving for a new rig for the best part of a year now an it's going to coincide with Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead at the end of November. That way I can spend the Summer months (Australia, remember) indoors avoiding everyone! Hooray!

I'm just going to get it on the 360, which I figure will still be enjoyable. I can't wait to use my monocular! WOO!

Hah, give me another two weeks and I'll let you know. It's a case of saving as much cash as I can and then splurging it all on a new rig.
