( Pls note some may find the games preview disturbing. ignore links below if you have not played First person Shooter games )
 
Believe this is the ultimate in graphics and a good benchmark? Water waves, Trees shadows and mega depth details. Quad Core for speadsheet and email use? what a waste ..... :-)
 
Game story line : The game is based in a future where an ancient alien spacecraft has been discovered beneath the ground on an island near the coast of the East Philippines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crysis

Youtube quality does no justice to the graphics. ( anyone remember duke nukem 3d, 1996. a funny game it was when pixels showed their squares...)
 
I don't have CRYSIS but have been following its sequels.
