How good is Medieval 2, Frag? And where are the Crysis impressions?
Medieval 2 (and expansion) are really good, but they require some serious time investment to play. I am playing through the Teutonic Knights campaign and it's really fun but I haven't had a good block of time to get from the midgame to the lategame in it. I am kicking myself for not modding my installation before I started the campaign though-the base AI is still weak, though it has improved some.
Crysis is really, really fantastic. The core fundamentals of a good online shooter are here-netcode is superb, weapons and combat feel just right, vehicles handle well, and the tactical options lent by the supersuit add a wonderful strategic layer (and the interface to swap between them is effortless). Also, the game sports the best use of shader effects ever seen in a game.
The build I have on my machine is still out of date. It's running DX9 mode-which is severely gimped compared to the DX10 one-has no option for super high textures, and has some whopper memory leak issues. It still runs at a good framerate at high res/AF/AA on a 8800GTS 640, though I don't have a setup to test the framerate at 1920x1200.
