More On: Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
If you're into headshots, then your favorite game is now available at retailers in North American.  Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is out now, and at the budget price of $39.99 USD/$29.99 for Windows PC.  It sure didn't look like a budget game; it uses CryENGINE 3, after all.  That's not an engine I associate with budget games.

City Interactive also revealed today that the first Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 DLC, called Siberian Strike, will add to the game's single-player story.  Right now, Siberian Strike is listed as "coming soon."
