Crysis Doesn’t Just Run On Consoles, It Soars

The original 2007 Crysis has a benchmark-y quality to it. It is no longer the Best-Looking PC Game In The World, but it retains some of that “must-have” mystique nonetheless. Perhaps it’s because it’s one of only a few hardcore first-person shooters that has never been ported to consoles. But every time one of my console-playing friends builds a new gaming PC, first thing he or she does is go straight to Steam and download the game.

Stealth Gameplay Isn’t Enough: Give Me The Thrill Of The Hunt

I finally finished Crytek’s Crysis 2 last week and surprised myself by immediately firing up a new game and starting it over from the beginning. Sure, Crysis 2 is a slick, well-made first-person shooter, but it’s fairly unremarkable on the surface. So why, when I had so many other games I could (or should) be playing, was I nano-suiting up yet another time?
