CRYSIS
This is supposedly the cream of the crop when it comes to a graphical experience. I played it and my computer has a Dual Core with 2GB Ram with a mid range graphical card and it nearly blew the damn thing up. I was able to get through the game but not on the highest quality. On the lower quality, the experience is still pretty impressive but you're gaming experience definitely takes a hit.
What I enjoyed about the game is that you make your way through the jungles of North Korea in the future equipped with a nano suit which you customize to give you super human strength. If you want to jump higher, you switch the suits setting, or you could get super human speed, power, or invisibility.
It is a little tricky at first to learn to coordinate your actions with the nano suit but eventually it becomes easy to go into stealth mode and terrorize an entire camp full of North Koreans. The NK are protecting an alien vessel that landed in the mountains and they will do anything in their power to stop you from finding it. The AI is really good and the soldiers put up a great fight and you even end up fighting a few that have gotten their hands on a nano suit themselves.
The best part of the game is that you can use any vehicle that you see within the game. This is especially useful if you blow your cover and just want to run a bunch of people over. The downside is that the vehicles take damage so if you take too many bullets, it will explode with you in it.
Overall this is a challenging game with breathtaking imagery and graphics (especially on highest setting) that meshes traditional jungle warfare with extraterrestrial combat. In fact, it is quite a bit into the game before you even get to engage an alien. The overall ride is exciting and the game play is a tad bit unique. I recommend it to anyone who loves first person shooters.
