Talking about Half Life and Crysis- remember when Half Life 2 was the benchmark for all gaming technology. Hardly anyone could play it, and there were jokes about robots from the future that could count the number of atoms in a star AND play TWO copies of Half Life 2 at once. Well, Half Life 2 is a bit more acheivable now, and is even started to look a bit dated. But the point is, notice how Crysis has replaced it as the high end of gaming tech?

No, there is a difference between HL and Crysis and that is that by the time HL2 came out it might have had some huge specs but the hardware to run it on max specs was available on the market at normal prices (which I know since I happened to have a computer running HL2 on full at the time). The hardware to run Crysis on full specs is either not even released yet, or costs a billion dollars in the store.
And on that note, Crysis' graphics are impressive only when set on maximum. Set it down even one notch and it's nothing special anymore.
