Crysis

Crysis is to PC gaming what Moses is to the Hebrews, what Robin Williams is to Comedy, and Sachin is to Indian cricket, a Savior, Knight in shining armor, and a redeemer.



Sorry, for the drama, I guess, I just got carried away, but the fact is that Crysis is the best thing that happened to PC gaming after the "Cold War." Oh! I mean the Console war, both wars aren't that different though. Two sides fighting over supremacy with millions stuck in between. After the hype of advanced graphics on the two major consoles, no one seemed to pay attention to the already advanced PC. Until Crysis, let's learn a little more about the game.

Story and Gameplay

In Crysis, players take the role of Jake Dunn, a United States Delta Force Soldier sent into a mysterious island in the South China Sea to investigate an unidentified flying object that has crashed in the area in the year 2019. North Korea, a formidable force in the world, is the first to arrive at the scene. With the Koreans and the US Delta force looking for the UFO, trouble starts as they both try to find the UFO first. As a player, you will be battling it out with the Koreans and the Aliens as well, which guarantees intense action.


There are guns, vehicles, and the Nano muscle suit. Mr. Freeman had lent them his suit so that they could make something better, but they never returned it to him( Just kidding for the uninitiated.) A Suit that lets you jump higher than any man, makes you stronger, and looks uber-cool.

Graphical Glory

It all just comes down to the graphics; well let me assure you that there is no doubt about the fact that this is the best-looking game on the PC ever. The game contains Dynamic Night and Day cycles, realistic weather effects, interactive and destroyable environment, Real-time shadow rendering, volumetric clouds, and very advanced AI.

No matter how much you expect, Crysis will surpass all expectations.

All fps seem to be heading the same way. i think we need some kind of different story lines and game play

When will be a mid-range dx10 card released? Eg: 8600 or something like that. Or we should go in for 8800 series?

Thats a bit of an understatement

could you check on that? cos the 360 is built on the RS600 core, which only needs a "soft " driver update, to become DX10 compatible. or that's what i read anyway
