Lol, I guess if you know me from PS3ZA you will know what a huge Crysis fanatic I am and how badly I want a Nano edition
I remember the day when I saw a copy of the Crysis 1 Limited Edition in a shop for the very first time. Even though I didn’t know much about the game or even having a PC of my own at that time, I do know that I was instantly turned into a huge fan of the game, which was just based on the sleek looks of the Nanosuit.
I know it sounds weird. How on earth could someone possibly have such admiration for a game which they haven’t even seen or played? I don’t know why but Crysis just did that with me. I spend so much time at internet cafes collecting pics, artwork and drooling over Crysis gameplay vids (lol, my Crysis media collection has now grown to about 5Gb and still growing). And after my very first hand on experience with Crysis Warhead at rAge one year, I just knew that I had to get a PC to play this. I just loved the way you play the game with the abilities of the Nanosuit… using stealth sneaking around enemies for a few silent kills, then use armour and strength to rush in and blow a few enemies to hell and then switch back to speed and stealth to disappear into the bushes to plan the next angle of attack. It was certainly the best few moments of my gaming life ever!
So, after about 2 years squeezing any extra cents where possible by not going away on holidays, socializing much less, ditching the girlfriend and using less of everything (I reckon this could also be why the cat lost so much weight during that time), I managed to save up for a decent PC to play Crysis!
And man, what a brilliant and epic game it is. Even to this day I simply just can’t get enough of it. Crysis and Crysis Warhead is undoubtedly a phenomenal game and even till this day the beauty of the game still holds its own against today’s titles.
One of my biggest wishes has always been that Crysis could one day make its way to console, and when Crysis 2 was announced it was like a dream coming true. I really want to get this game on both PC and PS3 (hell, if I had a Xbox 360 I would have wanted that version as well!). I’ve been wishing the days away for the release and finally it’s almost here. I really can’t wait to play this!!
I hope that this game is going to be brilliant across all platforms. Unfortunately I won’t be able to jam online, but I do hope that everyone, especially those who haven’t played the first game, will be enjoying it as much as I’m going to. Heck, I have even put in a week’s leave from work for the release!!
It’s sad that many Crysis fans in SA have to pin their hopes on winning a Nano edition. I mean, it is a mayor title and a very important multi-platform release. If I think of all the other extraordinary special editions, like the Killzone 3 Helghast edition, GT5 Signature edition, the Modern Warfare 2 Special edition with the night vision goggles, you can name them all, they were all available freely. I honestly just can’t understand why EA has limited this Nano edition so much because I’m certain a lot of fans will like to buy it.
Words cannot describe how badly I want the Nano edition and I really hope that I will be able to win a copy. That Nano edition will nicely go with my Crysis Special & Maximum editions collection, the back pack and artbook certainly looks sweet and that beautiful looking Nano suit statue (which I want most) will certainly raise the rep points of my set-up.
Thank you MyGaming for a great competition and best of luck to all entrants (though I do hope I win it!)
