01.27.2007 CRYSIS ALIENS AND EXPLOSIONS VIDEO
A new Crysis trailer just popped up on IGN and GameTrailers already ripped it for our enjoyment. It shows some of the uses of the muscle suit as you punch over cars and throw people onto rooftops. There's plenty more views of how detailed the jungle foliage is, and some additional erection worthy explosions too. The physics of a rock slide look great and you even get to see an impressive alien battle in action. I like how they show the game's title before, after, and even during the trailer just so you don't forget what game footage you're watching. You get to see some more dirty environments deeper in the island and there's even a quick peak at an abyssal hole in the land with a fiery bottom. There's not much to see of riding vehicles, but my favorite part are the brief night vision scenes showing how drastically different the game's appearance can be from the day time footage we've all seen. None of this trailer disappoints.
P.S. - The WarioWare: Smooth Moves review and giveaway will be up on Monday some time. I'm skipping over the First Impressions post because I should be done by then. All I'll offer for now is that . . . I'm disappointed.
P.P.S. Pan's Labyrinth was an awesome movie, even arguably a lot better than Children of Men, you should all go see both. The Ico and Shadow of the Colossus fans out there will probably enjoy Pan's Labyrinth a lot, and maybe even Silent Hill fans as well. Plus, TheLastBoss loves itself a good villain, and Pan's Labyrinth has one of the best I've seen in a long time. Children of Men felt a lot like Half-Life 2, but with way more realistic characters. Two of the scenes seem to last ten minutes without a single camera cut, and deliver action in a way you rarely see in theaters.
