Crysis Warhead

Been a while since my last update. Been busy, busy as always.. But as a break from work, the Joan model and learning XSi I played through Cryis Warhead last night. I've read some mixed reviews and wasn't really sure to expect, but I liked it. Not as good as the first one, a bit more linear and the story is ... well, really nothing to talk about. But the gameplay is still great fun. Also you get to play the more interesting Psycho instead of Nomad in this game. He's British, and a bit more rough around the edges which makes the dialouges more interesting.















I recommend everyone to play on the Delta difficulty which can be frustrating at times, but imho it adds so much more to the gameplay. Rambostyle doesn't work very well, but sneaking around, concealing yourself and taking out the enemy from a distance does. The game pretty much goes through the same stages as the first one, first you fight humans, then the aliens, a mixture and ending it all with a bossfight. Luckilly Warhead doesn't include the dark, zero-gravity alien base which you enter in the first game. Personally I never liked that part. Don't mind the aliens, but that part just wasn't apealing to my taste. And the graphics are of course top notch. Especially with DX10 enabled graphics the smoke and explotions are just drool, dropdead gorgeous! :)

So it's a game I can highly recommend! It's not too long either. Maybe 5-6 hours from start to finish.
