As part of the marketing for the game, a fictional blog called "War Unlimited: My Journey Through a Warzone" was created at http://reubenblog.typepad.com/ by a man named Reuben Oluwagembi. Reuben is actually a fictional journalist whom the players meets early in the game who is in Africa to cover the civil war. The blog served to provide background information on the game as well as flesh out some of the characters. Reuben is notable for his set of interview tapes with the Jackal - an infamous gun runner who is providing the arms to fuel the conflict and the game's primary antagonist. The 'Jackal tapes' are a collectible item in "Far Cry 2" that enhance the game's story and give background information on the Jackal himself. The complete set of Jackal tapes are all available on the site.
