Crysis. If you love PC games this game should be on the top of your list. Why not play a game with insane graphics and amazing AI? The whole game lived up to its hype. Although the sequel was not what we expected, the original could not be topped.

The game play, I wouldn't say it was original. You're a soldier on a mission. You have super human strength and speed. You fight, do certain tasks, then kill a shitload. If you would compare this to Half-Life 2 the only difference would be the graphics and the ultra powerful suit.

As you progress through the game you encounter twists from every corner. Unexpected soldiers come out of the bushes. A new mission is assigned. New alien weapons! Oops! Spoiler. No seriously the game is a challenging puzzle as you uncover new items. Especially in the end.

Lets get back to the AI. This is no ordinary first person shooter. When you fight these soldiers it won't be like fighting new recruits. These guys use strategy, using rocks, hiding or even just getting into the Humvee and running your ass over. I believe EA couldn't have done better when it came to the Crysis AI.

To sum it all up, this is a great game. Helps if you have played FPS games before, especially on the computer. The graphics is highly demanding, even my computer couldn't handle it on max settings. Great AI, great story, game play is alright. The second game Crysis Warhead has stepped up the game play, but loss many of its fans with the multiplayer.
