The great lineup of recent, current generation games available on Xbox LIVE’s Games on Demand service is growing rapidly, and has been strengthened further by the release of Far Cry 2 and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat onto the network.

Far Cry 2 is an excellent, open-world first-person shooter most unlike any released before, taking you to the wonderfully varied environments of Africa on a mission to stop a dangerous arms dealer, and return the war-torn region to an era of peace, as you “run, swim, drive, fly, shoot, fight and smash your way through over 50km² of open world. Beware though, sometimes the hunter can become the hunted.”

And how!

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, on the other hand, brings “the field of battle to life like never before. Bullets whiz by and score the environments around you, spent minigun shells rain down from hovering helicopters, and explosions shatter your field of vision.

“Delivering the over-the-top action of the award-winning Battlefield franchise, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat lets you wage modern war your way. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat delivers the Battlefield franchise’s trademark multiplayer action on Xbox Live, delivering ferocious 24 player online battles.

“Fighting for one of 4 sides – the US, the European Union, the Chinese, or the newly formed Middle East Coalition – and armed with the latest modern weaponry, you are given full control over the 30+ vehicles in the game.”
