Holy Crysis
Head over to www.gametrailers.com and check out the videos for Crysis, a new first person shooter (FPS) based on Crytek’s next generation graphics engine, CryEngine2. All I have to say is WOW. I mean, holy crap. The capabilities are so advanced. I played Crytek’s original game, Far Cry, and it was a pretty fun game. I’m surprised more companies didn’t use their original Crytek engine. It was supposedly very good at the time. Anyway, I can’t wait until this game comes out. I don’t know if I’ll even have the hardware necessary to max out the graphics.
F.E.A.R.
First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R.) is just too cool of a game. In a crowded first player shooter market, this game really stood out by combining the spookiness of Japanese horror with outstanding graphics and gameplay. This game keeps you constantly on edge and provides several heart-stopping encounters of the supernatural kind. The scary parts of the game do smack a bit of The Ring and The Grudge but the game does do it well. Although the story isn’t the most creative one in the world, they present it very well in little bits and pieces throughout the game and leaves enough intrigue and mysteries for a sequel.
