The human mind is extraordinarily adaptable, this applies both for adversity and opulence; we will easily acclimatise to the finest a particular industry has to offer, happily accepting the pinnacle of a particular task as all we could ever need. But once an upgrade comes about, once our brain gets a taste of something better, the bar is set, and it remains set. Sure, we can limbo underneath it – but once you go up, coming down feels like a lead balloon.
What Is The Ultimate Gaming Soundtrack/OST?
Joel GunnerOct 13, '21
There are so many facets to a game to be considered when evaluating how well it plays: graphics, narrative, character development and design, mechanics of gameplay as well as the contextual lore of the game – and we are only ticking the big boxes here. There is a dimension to a game that ironically goes silent when talking about the virtues and pitfalls of gameplay: the soundtrack. Running in the background like a stalwart servant, the music abetting the game in being either excellent or miserable often goes unappreciated. When you think of Halo, what do you think of?

Can Crysis Run Crysis? The Gaming Trilogy Returns Raytraced in 4K.
Joel GunnerOct 7, '21
Rarely does a game receive such high praise as did the original Crysis game, released by Crytek back in 2007. Critics and gamer alike lauded the game as a product far surpassing its time; the game was so graphically advanced that many a poor GPU crashed out trying to run it. Times have changed; coming on the 15th of October is the complete trilogy: Crysis 1, 2 and 3, excluding Warhead. Though our poor PCs might be quaking in their wires upon hearing this news – ‘can it run Crysis?’ – the hardware of modern-day consoles have no complaints in hosting the series who is no longer the graphical kingpin they once were.
