I've enjoyed playing the Xbox 360 release of Crysis 2. It didn't have the cultural impact of the first Crysis, but it's a more polished game in many ways, and Cryengine 2 is much better optimized. It's amazing what Crytek was able to squeeze out of the Xbox 360's DirectX 9 GPU, essentially a Radeon X1800 XL. I'd like to play this game on the PC as well but I refuse to touch EA's DRM. GOG already has the original Crysis and Crysis Warhead, might as well add Crysis 2 and 3 and complete the trilogy.
I don't usually play this kind of shooters (run and gun and fun is my preference) but a friend recommended it to me all those years ago, and out of all relatively modern shooters that blended and melted into sludge of memory I remember this one still rather vividly, so it did something very right. The story of Alcatraz (I even remembered his name without looking it up!) waging one-man war against alien invasion might sound as nothing unusual but it was little details that mattered to me. I remember this game fondly and I would really like to be able to play it again on GOG.

Elite
EliteElite is a space trading video game, written and developed by David Braben and Ian Bell and originally published by Acornsoft for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron computers in September 1984. Elite's open-ended game model, and revolutionary 3D graphics led to it being ported to virtually every contemporary home computer system, and earned it a place as a classic and a genre maker in gaming history. The game's title derives from one of the player's goals of raising their combat rating to the exalted heights of "Elite". Elite was one of the first home computer games to use wire-frame 3D graphics with hidden line removal. It added graphics and twitch gameplay aspects to the genre established by the 1974 game Star Trader. Another novelty was the inclusion of The Dark Wheel, a novella by Robert Holdstock which gave players insight into the moral and legal codes to which they might aspire.
