Cryostasis $6.50 through Jan. 10 on gamersgate

The title says it all. Very atmospheric, albiet slow first person shooter. If you've got an nvidia gpu (gtx 260 or better highly recommended), the physx effects are very impressive.

This game has the best story I've seen in many years and its presentation is one of the most unique in any game

Seriously, this thing plays like a Russian literary work of art put into game form. It trumps even Bioshock in many respects.

If you can take a little bit slow paced shooter thats much more intellectually stimulating then your typical Call of Duty, then you should buy this game.

Nice, heard this game is buggy as all hell, but for $6.50, I'm willing to take my chances on what seems to be a great game.

Giant Bomb has a good quicklook of the game if anyone wants to check out some gameplay before buying.

why can't people just say although instead of albiet?

I say both. What is wrong with it?

I remember this game being packaged with Nvidia cards. You could download it free from EVGA's site with the purchase of a card.

I assume it would run fine on a 4890, minus the Physx effects?

runs OK...don't expect to run it in uber high eyes bleeding resolution and get 100000000 FPS. The game appears to be heavily optimized for hardware based physx.

Albiet...ergo... thus is the way of the nVidia...
