Crysis

Got this game along in November last year too. This was the reason why I upgraded my PC and as it turned out I could barely play this game in DX9 with high graphic detail. I was even more unhappy when Nvidia launched the 8800GT at a lower price compared to my 8800GTS and it performed much better.
The game looks absolutely gorgeous, hands down its the best looking game bar none. The trouble is that most gaming PCs can either run it with all the eye candy turned on or run it with playable frame rates and the eye candy turned down.
I didn't think that the nano suit concept would be very useful and started playing the game as any other FPS game. Pretty soon though the game does require you to use the cloaking ability or fight a huge amount of enemy troops, which isn't easy even on the easy setting (Ok, so I admit that I play games on the easy setting).
The game play though lacks a certain something, it isn't nearly as fun as it should be and the story falls flat most of the time. For all the open sandbox game play promised by the game I felt that most missions were designed to force the player to use one of the nano suit's abilities and that takes away a lot from the fun factor.
This is only recommended to people wanting to benchmark their gaming PCs.
