Ubisoft Montreal's open-world shooter sequel Far Cry 2 (PC, PS3, 360) will hit North America on October 21 and Europe on October 24, the company confirmed today.

While Ubisoft only announced the European date this morning, the company has since informed GameSpot of the specific North American release date for the followup to Crytek's 2004 PC shooter Far Cry.

I am sort of interested in this game.

Fable II releases the same day.
Fallout 3 releases one week later.
Three weeks after Fallout 3 is Left 4 Dead.

I'm just not going to have time for it, and I don't think it's going to sell very well when they're burying it right in the middle of the holiday rush, and that's unfortunate.

It looks like a good game. I'll try and pick it up if and when a drought hits, or when it gets really cheap.

I got to play this game at the Leipzig Games Convention for a whopping 5 minutes worth (it was timed) and, unfortunately, I spent that 5 minutes struggling with frame rate problems on the demo PC.

I haven't decided whether to get this for PC or 360, I'm leaning towards getting it on Steam.
