New Warface trailer actually looks fun
I've played and enjoyed a lot of FPS pew pew pew shoot-'em up games in my time, but when it comes to free-to-play I normally find myself left disappointed, either because the game in question is an obvious rip-off or a shameless cash cow. But Crytek's upcoming free-to-play FPS Warface is shaping up to be an interesting and fun game, with its latest trailer is making me all tingly inside. If Warface grabs your interest you can, like me, sign-up for the closed beta. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
