Hey there! How's your Christmas been going so far? Good, I hope. Santa bring you everything you hoped for? Or was it all coal for you? Either way, another present wouldn't go amiss, would it? That vibrant green box has a look to it. Let's open that one next! * Crysis Remastered https://store.steampowered.com/app/1715130/Crysis_Remastered/ The original "Doom" may have been the birthcry of PC gaming as a real competitor to consoles, but "Crysis" was where PC Gaming stood up and took its place as the top-dog. It may not have quite the same panache as when it was first FNCPJ released in 2007, but "Crysis" is still a game well worth playing. Its giant maps, strong AI and fun physics (not to mention so much soothing green foliage!) make for an 8QAJB incredible experience. The Remaster adds a bit of extra visual magic; not so much as you'd really notice --the original is still amazing to look at, even twenty years down the road-- but it certainly doesn't hurt. And you can finally test for yourself: look at your PC, does it run Crysis?C65DK Hey, that's a nice one. But there are more to come. Lean back, listen to some Christmas tunes, and wonder what's still in store us. We'll find out in just a little while, I guess. Until then! Ho-ho-ho!
