Crysis Warhead, Crysis available on Steam

You could say that but IMO, it looks good even on low as long as you got a decent resolution.

To be frank, it's not.

There's a few on this page:

Best looking game on the market for only $30 is enough for me

I can give you a couple:
-One of the best recent shooters, critically acclaimed when it came out and incomprehensibly panned in comments everywhere a year later.

-The joys of grabbing some RPG's, finding a high vantage point to the enemy base, and delight in watching panicked soldiers try to escape from the rubble of the buildings that are collapsing on them. The adrenaline in trying to evade the helicopter they might then send to find you. The thrill of crashing your jeep against an enemy jeep, admiring the amazing explosion, and picking on the survivors with your bare hands. Sure, you could play it like a linear, boring shooter if you wanted, but you'd be missing the point. There are awesome moments to be had, but you have to make them happen.

-This might be the last game ever to wow you through the brutal power of pretty graphics. Remember when you were impressed by square's or blizzard's cutscenes? This is just like that, but you get to make the awesome happen interactively!

-Amazingly immersive atmosphere thanks to great graphics and sound design. Except in the bits when the laughable characters are trying to advance the uninspired storyline. Fortunately they mostly keep their mouths shut.

-It will run better on your computer than you probably expect.

What I meant was, I can't find a reason to buy this since I already have Crysis and a computer to run it

how about the fact that it's a sequel, and not a remake (as you may or may not be thinking)?

This is the followup game to Crysis. Continuation of storyline. Etc.

"Except in the bits when the laughable characters are trying to advance the uninspired storyline."
yeah, so, no reason.

Steam used to be bad... I don't see much of a problem with it now though. Have you used it within the last couple of years?

I don't have any problems with it at all.

I've had some kinks happen with steam. Not performance-wise, but the way you buy games.

I bought COD4, let it download for 8 hours, came back to play it with joy. I double click, it says "NOW LAUNCHING GAME" and I notice under the msgbox, it says Now downloading updates "0%". So I goto work come back, and see it took about 7 hours. So I goto play it again, kinda irritated from but just ready to relax and game. So I double click and see "NOW LAUNCHING GAME" finding out I have to update it AGAIN. So instead of updating, I just think to myself, "Hey, I'll just play without updates", well YOU CAN'T. There's no way to run it without the latest version. So I try disconnecting my net to run it and of course the great "NOW LAUNCHING." With it trying to update via internet which wasn't there.

The next morning I did have some fun on COD4 though.

Wow, you had the EXACT opposite reaction I did. I was really stoked when I read this headline. It is the perfect marriage in my opinion. I love how steam operates, and I love the Crysis games.

Why shouldn't more good games be on Steam? I think it is the best shot any developer/publisher has to combat piracy. Instead of, ya know, offering a one time install and then an auto-destruct sequence.

Almost as much of a deuche bag as the guy on the cover of Mercenaries 2.

You can tell, his head is full of war.

Phil has won.

was that a deutschbag shag?

A German Jerk?

As opposed to playing the game at high settings for only $500. Right.

Actually, the "EA Crysis PC" is $699 (aka 700) but let's not start this tug-o-war.

That's a custom PC built for Crysis Warhead...and when it comes to graphic engines, two years is a huge gap.Just check out some comparison screenshots.

Well, I'm a perfectionist, and if I'm gonna build a gaming pc, its gonna be the best damn one possible.

Well i know for a fact the only thing you need to run Crysis maxed out is an ATI 4870X2 graphics card with the 2gb GDDR5RAM. My brother-in-law has that card, along with 4gb of 800mhz RAM, a decent (not expensive) crossfire gigabyte motherboard and the E8600 Intel CPU. Since the graphics card was just a little more than the price of a Ps3, and everything else in the computer is very very cheap if you know where to shop, the whole PC should only cost about $1500 at the most...with Windows. Thats not a Crysis ready PC, thats Crysis, and every other game ever made (including FarCry2) running MAXED OUT and smoothly.

Wrong post :(

Actually, never mind, reading the Steam forums, supposedly it still contains Securom protection.
