Yet again, Nvidia showed ATI that it, indeed, has the biggest penis.

when can I get a video card that doesn't take up half my case and melts down after 6 months of use? Not to mention, doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
2006?

Not quite - They proved they have the biggest number of penises... Making for some interesting crossover potential into the Hentai gaming market.

Looks awesome, sounds absolutely amazing, loses very little in the console ports, is a great game, runs great on a variety of hardware, is extremely stable, and was published by EA with SecuRom.

A year from now, people won't be talking about Crysis anymore. Bigger and better games will be out. Such is the nature of the gaming industry.
The fact that Crysis has great graphics doesn't mean its a great game. As an avid gamer for over 20 years, I can say without a doubt that on average there is no correlation between good graphics and good games.
In addition to my 20 years of gaming, I've got a 5 digit UID. I am therefore an authoritative source on the subject.
