Crysis 2 rocks. As writers, we’re probably supposed to offer insightful yet witty commentary on the subtle nuances of a game, but there are some titles that are impressive enought to justify frat-boy hyperbole. It may not be a game-changer, per se, but it’s amibitous, entertaining, and unique–we don’t get to say that often enough these days.
