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.

Friggin' awesome, the weapon modding system looked cool but the muscle suit and special powers looked cooler. And it looks like they finally added sharks in that short underwater part. The only sharks in Far Cry were dead and hanging on docks. You could add them in custom maps but they did no damage so all they did was ram you and shake their head like they were trying to bite you.

It looks cool and all, but how long has this game been in development? I wonder how much more it will be than a slightly more awesome version of Far Cry.

We'll see.

Backflip just made a pun, but I'm not sure he knew that he did.

I agree with you 100% on your movie snippets. those one-shot scenes in "Children of Men" were amazing and got my heart pumping like crazy. that scene where XXXXX gets shot through the windshield by the guys on the motorbike! and the scene that starts two blocks down the war-torn street, follows all the way up three stories in the building being blasted, and ends back down the street again! so intense. "Pan's Labyrinth" is well-rounded and unique, but doesn't hold a thing to "Children of Men."

Tom I was one of the many who requested smooth moves review and before I bought we rented it this weekend. And I am saddened that I seem dispointed also, alot opens up after you "beat it" but the mulitplayed it to hard and to easy at the same time. Screew up one time and you out of the game. Sad I'll post more on your review so I have a chance to win it beacuse I doubt Ill buy it.
