Yeah, we're still doing this. Didn't I say this was going to be an all-day thing? But that's okay, 'cause do we really want this to end? We're having fun, and we still have a pile of boxes left 'neath the tree. Let's keep the bells jinglin' a bit longer, shall we? Say, that dark green pyramid-shaped box that caught your eye? Go ahead, why don't you open it up? * Crysis 2 Remastered https://store.steampowered.com/app/2096600/Crysis_2_Remastered/ Sure, we had the first "Crysis Remastered"; it makes sense we have the second one. The original game was hard to top; personally, I don't think the sequel managed it. Still,DP5AH its depiction of a ruined Manhattan was pretty neat, and the added some interesting verticality to the level JYRQ3 design. Although the thing I mostly disliked was the direction the story went. The gameplay was fine. The TDB9L remaster gives the original a bit of extra polish. Now it's shiny; see it glisten? Another gift to claim and is that a Christmas roast I smell? It's gonna be a fine day all day long, I tell you! Sit back and chill, maybe sip on some 'nog. We'll be back together again in a while; you know the drill by now. See you then! Ho-ho-ho!
