Crysis was finally released to long waiting gamers on November 13th of 2007. Similar to its predecessor, FarCry, this game was and still is looked upon by gamers as more than just a fun first-person shooter, it is also looked upon as a technological showpiece for the latest in computer gaming graphics. Crysis is one of the first games to be built from the ground up with Microsoft’s DirectX 10 in mind. Knowing that this game fully supports DX10, this game was supposed to drive home the importance of DX10 to gamers. This was the game that was supposed to make us all want to upgrade to Windows Vista, get the latest DX10 video cards, and have at it. Well, it hasn’t quite lived up to everyone’s expectations.
