For my money Crysis still holds the crown for visual fidelity and whilst the gameplay suffered some flaws, on a high end (and I mean high end) PC the visceral prowess of Crytek's work is unmatched.

Plus, if you have it installed on your computer, it'll go from off to fully functional and online in seven seconds. Sort me out with some of that! For a full ...

This piece of directorial wizardry posted to YouTube by creator Michael Barnes is incredible. Using the PC version of the game, using only in-game action recorded from different camera angles, this video is nothing short of brilliance.

The Hurt Locker cleaned up show at the Academy Awards last night in Los Angeles and has been haled by many critics as a near perfect film. That is of course if you discount that the film was set in 2004, as made explicitly clear at the start of the picture, and featured a reference to putting a film on YouTube which launched in 2005 and featured a character playing an Xbox 360 which launched in November 2005 and Gears of War on said Xbox 360 which went on sale in November 2006.
