Good news first - I finally got my copy of Far Cry 2 today and I'm excited. But I'm not gonna throw myself at it immediately. I still have Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts to tend to. I don't want to leave it just like that. So I'll try completing at least the British campaign before I start with FC2.
I've written a new Review for Anno 1701. It's just a short review.
First Impressions for Comapany of Heroes Opposing Fronts:
The game rocks... CoH **** The game preserves most of the elements from the original and adds two new campaigns - the British and the German campaigns. However the game has become a little complex with the addition of specialized units for each faction. This kinda makes the game lose some of its sheen from the original CoH whose simplicity was charming. The focus has also shifted away from the infantry(as was in the original CoH) and this coupled with mostly not-so-normal units have made the game forsake its close to WW2 feel. Nevertheless it rocks.
