Far Cry Instincts

Seems to be another impressive port from PC to Xbox and it's not just direct port, there are many new gameplay elements. It's a shame that these are coming so late to Xbox and probably aren't going to get the attention they deserve, because X360 is just around the corner.

IGN has some nice new pictures and a trailer, which looks pretty good.

I hope Xbox 360 has backwards compatibility... for the sake of the developers. Xbox is looking really strong in 2005 with games like:

Jade Empire
Forza
Conker
Half Life 2
Doom 3 (not everyones cup of tea I know... but some people really like it)
Far Cry Instincts
Halo 2 addon maps

Also quality games like Unreal Championship 2 and Midnight Club 3 are definately A quality titles. Then when you look at the quality cross platform games make me shake my head... it seems the Xbox is aging VERY well in the game department... I hope the Xbox 360 does not kill these games sales too much. Maybe MS should have waited a year and beefed up the Xenon and rode the wave of AAA titles this year. Then again maybe they have a plan to make sure they are not killing this years sales...

I'm satisfied that they are making this Far Cry to be different experience than the PC version, because I have finished Doom3, Half-Life 2 and Far Cry on PC so identical game on Xbox doesn't interest me, but this one seem's to be suprisingly different.

Yep lot's of quality titles coming to Xbox this year, but even my focus is starting to be on the next gen, so I hope this get's released before X360.
