Crysis
My four year old graphics card died yesterday. I proceeded to pick up the cheapest “gaming card” I could get off the shelf, which is what I’ve always done. (Tom’s Hardware consulting.) That meant an Nvidia Geforce 250GS at 130€. It’s my first GPU which needs a separate power supply.

There is just one game mode, Capture The Ghost, and it works very well. It’s capture the flag with a s [...]
Neotokyo: Source
Neotokyo: Source is the FPS I would’ve made. It helps that it looks and sounds gorgeous (professional) and is largely based on the work of Masamune Shirow (Ghost In The Shell, Appleseed). It is free to download, requires the Half-Life 2 Source engine to run and is available now.
