So I decided to play Crysis:

Well the graphics were something else, and especially with my new computer, it was running very smooth on high settings! You really have to check this game out to believe it.

It was a pretty standard first person shooter with a few twists and shitty ending, but we can get to that!

The key twist to the game was your cryo suit which had the ability to enhance certain aspects such as strength, speed, armor. These things can be switched on the fly and lead to many different fighting techniques. Although I found myself doing the pretty standard fighting style even with these other options available.

In the trailer videos they always show people killing the soldiers in the most random ways, which is just never what I do, maybe I am boring.

The game started going in a very different direction about half way through and ***Spoiler*** out of know where we were dealing with some alien species. Now I am cool with aliens, but they went a bit far with the whole alien base towards the end, which I just did not enjoy.

And then the ending…its like they took a page right out of hollywood, leaving it as a clear sequel, although leaving the most interesting part for the next game, actually destroying the alien base. I mean who wouldn’t want to blow that annoying thing up?

All together it was fun, a bit short, but fun. I will definitely check out the next one, so I can kill those damn aliens!

Oh what do we have here?

Looks like my new video card! My computer started acting really strange a week or two ago and finally pinned it down on the video card overheating due to the fact that the card was getting pretty old, and the fact that the fan was dying on it. During load times the card was overheating pretty bad. I chose this card because it has some really great performance ratings + great cooling on it + relatively cheap on good old Newegg.
