    Probably is going to be the same reason I do it also.

    All the Cry games, for PC anyways, are incredible. I loved FarCry

    I know it's going to look better, but those movies really didn't look that good. We're talking, what, 3 years since Half Life 2 came out and the graphics really don't look that much better. :(

    FarCry was my ultimately favorite game of all time!!! :D

    F.E.A.R. came close to beating it out, but it just couldn't. With unlimited range of movement in FarCry, there hasn't been a game like that which has sucked me in... and never let me go!

    Also remember we don't have DX10 cards to view the video's, so I think it's premature to judge the flashvid's. Overall, they did look as real-life as I've seen in a while.

    I can't wait for Crysis... when does it come out?

    FarCry is an awesome game, I'm just now playing it again after upgrading my computer last month. I can't wait for Crysis! Those DirectX 10 videos look awesome!

    Definitely bojangles! That + my 1080p 24" gateway+ a new machine= hours of wholesome fun.

    Stalker should be out in about a week. Looks like a good stopgap in the meantime: Stalker

    They're still saying Sept., but I won't believe it till its here. I'm hoping for November anyway, so I can afford to upgrade my machine before then...

    In the meantime, NCAA for the 360 hits in July, and Madden 08 releases in August.

    Dang, that far away? Bummer...

    I originally heard spring 2007... guess that was way off! Oh well, the longer they take, the better it'll be I'm sure! I can't wait! One of the few games I will buy full price!

    I think between Crysis and the next Unreal Tournament I am going to have to totally upgrade. I'm wondering if I can get a mid to high end gaming PC in a barebones/mini form factor. I'd love to be able to move the PC around the house at will and play some Crysis on the HT.

    Just watched the video. Okay, whatever doubt I had about building a new PC is long gone. I can't miss that game. That game is going to make me forget about Gears of War and Unreal 3. I am seriously going to start planning a high end gaming mini pc.
