PatMan Crysis 2 has officially launched and is getting some pretty solid reviews from the likes of 1up.com ( 9.1) and IGN (9.0) even some of the lower scores still have it around the 8.0 range which is a decent score. Of course we should all make our own minds up and not be persuaded by media, however its nice to see it has not been a disappointment in the eyes of reviewers. I for one have been looking forward to checking this title out after playing the 2 multiplayer demos hands on . Although very unoriginal, (part Halo reach, part COD ), it was still fun. And fun is what matters.
I still have not had my fill of Homefront, a title which launched with its fair share of problems last week, and it would be easy to abandon that title in favor of Crysis 2 I suppose, but I am willing to give it a few more days to fix its online issues before I think of giving up on it. Here is the launch trailer of Crysis 2 looking all pretty with its fancy graphics engine. Looks like another solid FPS for fans to enjoy, which ultimately is a good thing. I am getting spoiled with choice this last couple weeks, first Homefront and now Crysis 2. Gamers trigger fingers will be busy both online and off this month.

I knew before the reviews hit the internet that I had zero interest in the multi player. Even if EA manages to have awesome servers right off the bat. The single player had me slightly interested and from the handful of reviews I have read I am giving this a solid pass. Which is pretty much what I figured all along.
In the eyes of an average gamer this following statement makes me look like an idiot so you have been warned. Even with fucked up servers I have had more fun with Homefront's multi than any game since Battflefield Bad Company 2. So I am more willing to see what happens with Homefront and even with it's server problems then jump straight on to something else.
If I cant get into matches with my friends without major hassles, and if I remain with 1 red bar when I do get into most games resulting in frustrating lag death after lag death, I will be switching to a game that is more fun than annoying in a few days I think. But , I do see the potential of how good Homefront can be when the issues go away. Its great fun and i wont need another FPS for a while if things go well with THQ.
Either way there are 2 fun FPS games to be had this month, both of which fit right in with my definition of fun. Its a win – win situation for me which ever way I end up. Actually, I will end up with both, its just of matter of how long I will hang on before I get Crysis2.
I am still thinking about Crysis 2 for PC, especially with the lack of interest among the WPO crew for multiplayer on the 360.
