"Ben Abraham over at SLRC started an experiment with Far Cry 2 that has since been picked up and repeated by other bloggers. The experiment: Play Far Cry 2 on normal difficulty and stop when you die. You only have one life. Death is permanent.
Ben's posts, and those by others who have taken up the experiment, read like a normal game of Far Cry 2. The introduction and the tutorial always play out the same, and while everyone's first mission is different, what happens to them isn't all that different than what happened to me when I played the game: They get in a shootout and kill a lot of people. That's essentially every mission in Far Cry 2. So what makes this experiment so interesting?"
