Great games

Far Cry 3
I've been playing some great games recently. Since Christmas, Far Cry 3 has been a fun return to the lush tropical island with plenty to shoot at, some wonderful graphics, a few puzzles and tasks and a good story.

Battlefield 3
I still keep going back to this game for some armoured action. Again great graphics and trying to attain the next rank gives the game lasting appeal. Provided that you don't die too often!
Borderlands 2
I played this game a lot before Christmas and still keep going back to it since then. Again the story line keeps dragging you back to the sequel of one of my all time favourite games. It was great to be back in Pandora and meeting Claptrap again.

The value for money that these quality games offer is amazing. All well produced and scripted. Fantastically modeled locations shown in the highest graphics quality. No bugs and crashes to spoil the action. Hours of play and virtual escapism. I suppose some people just play for a couple of days, finish the plot and then go onto the next purchase. It takes me months to get tired or complete these games. And not because I get stuck too often. The Tequila Sunrise outpost in Far Cry 3 frustrated me a lot until I learnt to place C4 explosive booby traps.

I know piracy is a problem with gaming but I usually buy the games that I want and are put off by excessive DRM on games like the latest SimCity. There are plenty of other quality games to play.
