Crysis

After the tremendous success of Far Cry, the German game studio Crytek released their shooter Crysis in 2007. The game was by far the most hyped and anticipated game in 2007, and forums were full of "Can My System Run Crysis?" threads because of its high hardware requirements. Just like in Far Cry, the plot unfolds on a small island with a thick and richly-detailed jungle world. A lot of attention has been given to small details like accurate physics. When you, for example, fire on a tree trunk, it will shatter and the tree will fall over and leave a stump behind, and enemies in a car can be stopped by shooting the tire of the car. The game's graphics are, even for today, top notch, yet the game will still run well on most computers.
