Ho-ho-ho!

Hey there! How's your Christmas been going so far? Good, I hope. Santa
bring you everything you hoped for? Or was it all coal for you? Either
way, another present wouldn't go amiss, would it?

That vibrant green box has a look to it. Let's open that one next!

* Crysis Remastered
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1715130/Crysis_Remastered/
The original "Doom" may have been the birthcry of PC gaming
as a real competitor to consoles, but "Crysis" was where PC
Gaming stood up and took its place as the top-dog. It may
not have quite the same panache as when it was first FNCPJ
released in 2007, but "Crysis" is still a game well worth
playing. Its giant maps, strong AI and fun physics (not to
mention so much soothing green foliage!) make for an 8QAJB
incredible experience. The Remaster adds a bit of extra
visual magic; not so much as you'd really notice --the
original is still amazing to look at, even twenty years
down the road-- but it certainly doesn't hurt. And you
can finally test for yourself: look at your PC, does it
run Crysis?C65DK

Hey, that's a nice one. But there are more to come. Lean back, listen
to some Christmas tunes, and wonder what's still in store us. We'll
find out in just a little while, I guess. Until then!

Ho-ho-ho!

I can see you weren't kidding about the FPS games. I'm passing on it.

Never played back in the day, never had a computer that could run it as
