Currently Playing: Crysis

I just finished playing through Crysis for the 3rd time. It's no surprise that it is one of my favorite games, well, ever. I wouldn't say it's revolutionary only because it borrows all the best aspects about a FPS into one game and does it remarkably well. There are many games out there that use physics, action, stealth, story, exploration/freedom, but Crysis bundles it together in a neat little package. What is revolutionary is, of course, the graphics. There is no game that looks as good as this. Period. I'm running on an 8800GTX at about Medium settings at 1920x1200 getting about 50fps and even that looks incredible. With the settings cranked up to Very High it's like watching a slideshow but oh is it pretty. When I build a new tower in about a year or two I'll get to see it in it's full glory. It has a few bugs and a few annoyances but nothing that won't prevent me from playing it through a 4th or 5th time. The Core level in the alien ship is boring and I don't enjoy the linearity the game takes on after the aliens show up but it is fun and action packed nonetheless. Best. Game. Ever.
