The guy who looks like Spider-Man dipped in tar, packing a handheld tank is the special-ops type you play in Crysis. You are tasked with saving the world from aggressive extra-terrestrials, who've ploughed a pretty big asteroid into a Pacific island's countryside.

Your character is dispatched to infiltrate the area, now sealed off by fast-arriving North Korean forces, to find out what exactly put a dent in the Earth's surface, and the first part of the game sees you traipsing through dense mountainous forestry fending off the attentions of the crack North Korean troops detailed with telling you in the most forceful terms to eat bullets.

You’ll be astounded by the game - it's jaw-dropping. You're equipped with a nano-suit which allows a slew of enhanced abilities, such as increased speed, strength and armor, but you'll have to manage its energy properly.

After running around the jungle for a bit, the asteroid erupts to reveal a spacecraft the size of Rhode Island, which uses up Earth's weather system to enable the invasion to take place. Can the US and North Korea join forces, beat the alien scum and live happily ever after? It's up to you to help them take the little grey men on. We can't wait.
