Crysis
An action packed game that has been hailed as one of the best FPS's ever. and for me it didn't dissapoint, at least in singleplayer. For those wanting the feel of being in an action movie and having the freedom to do almost whatever you want, this definitely delivered. While I've heard some complain about the main character being to bland and not fully fleshed out, however, I feel this was done intentionally to put you into the game rather than living through someone else's experience.
Most FPS focus on Multiplayer deathmatch centered gameplay, however the Multiplayer on the first crysis was very bland and not very extensive. with only a few mods and limited weapons it did not do to satisfy some which is understandable for those use to the Unreal or COD series. However even if you didn't feel it lived up to the hype it was definitely an amazing achievement for pushing the hardware and storytelling.
Assassin's Creed
This was one of those games that just simply did what it was suppose too. Very similar to Crysis in that it's sandbox, it pushed story telling and hardware, but it had it's flaws. I'm not even getting into the multiplayer because I feel it wasn't even needed. Yes i know brotherhood is out and it looks amazing, but for the first act the game is still fun and versatile.
The port to the PC was difficult to get use to at first as the control scheme was definitely focused towards console players, though you can use the controller I actually eventually preferred the heightened speed of the mouse after a while. While there were some features I would have liked to see, such as unlockable rewards for collecting items or doing side quests, the main quest line was very enjoyable and worth the now lowered price, especially if you can snag it off steam.
