    Crysis

    Visually, Crysis is a stunner.  Crytek really took advantage of the engine early in the game, showing beautiful jungle, crisp waterfalls and pretty incredible expansive landscape shots.  Looking down from cliffs or up at the sunset, this game is the best looking I have ever seen.

    Gameplay it excels as well.  It's basically Far Cry, refined, with a nifty new suit.  The suit changes gameplay in fundamental ways.  I enjoy the stealthy capabilities, creeping up on guards and strangling them was an experience that I dug...possibly too much.  The suit and massive theater provide countless ways to tackle each objective, resulting in multiple play-throughs of the first half of the game.

    About 2/3 of the way through the game though it shifts, and not in a good way.  Rigid paths and  X-files win out over open world generic combat.  Strangely, I was longing for the generic by the end of the game.

    Crysis remains visually  incomparable throughout the experience, and if you own a PC that can run it well (you probably do, despite the myths floating about) you should definitely play it, especially since it's dropped significantly in price.

All of this violence was discharged with just four bullets, a single grenade, and just a little help from my military nano suit. As I began to wa...

      An euphoria-inducing thrill ride of intense and amazing moments. 0

      If there is anything that pretty much everyone already knows about Crysis it's that the game is freaking beautiful. There is no doubt in my mind that Crysis is easily one of the best looking games ever created. This creates a bit of a problem though. Is Crysis simply a pretty tech demo or is there a hidden gem of a game behind all of that eye candy? The answer to this question is an astounding yes; Crysis is an outstanding first-person shooter experience that almost feels like a high profile Hol...
