I've been thinking about getting Crysis. Also, I've been thinking about getting The Orange Box.

Do you think i should get Crysis, The Orange Box, both, or neither? Why?

My current fps collection: Call of Duty 4, Halo, Halo 2, Counter Strike: Source.

Also, I just want to make sure my computer can run Crysis. I have a Dell XPS 1330, 4GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz processor.

I think my graphics card is this: 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS.

Both, though the Orange Box is top priority. ;)

Both

If you ask me, Crysis singleplayer completely smokes Halflife 2 from a fun factor. I still love HL2 and there is a large tilt with the franchise, but Ive played Crysis for 80+ hours easily.

Orange Box is just awesome, simply for Portal (most unique "FPS" I ever) and Team Fortress 2. Episode 2 is also the best installment in the singleplayer series despite not being full-length.

I say Crysis first, then Orange Box.

Forget about Crysis, because you have an 8400 and it's not that good, but get the Orange Box :)

I would say Crysis, unleast you have a crappy video card, then you are not going to enjoy Crysis as it should be.

EDIT: a 8400 can handle Crysis but it will look horrible, you better get the orange box and wait for crysis until you have a better PC.

your laptop probably won't run crysis on anything but low settings, so i'd recommend just getting the orange box.

Both- but get the Orange Box if you can only get one. Crysis has better graphics but to me HL2 and Portal are both better games.

I've been thinking about getting Crysis. Also, I've been thinking about getting The Orange Box.

Finished OB recently, and will be getting Crysis after my FPS cooldown. HL2 starts out really slow and did not really get interesting for me until about a third of the way through, and it really got great about two thirds of the way through the game, and had a really great final chapters. EP1 rolls with the momentum and manages to keep the game interestint all the way to the excellent ending (altho I would have had a different view on it if I had played it when it first came out and had to wait years to finally find out what happens next). But the real gem is EP2 which took the best of HL2 and EP1 and mearged it into a fun and really enjoyable FPS that is a cut above the rest. And of course it ended with another cliffhanger which has you wishing Valve would already come out with EP3.

the orange box is a lot better. crysis is just overhyped.. and you just have a weak system to play crycrap.

Orange Box first, and leave Crysis behind for now since you don't have BF2, FEAR, or STALKER (not because these games aren't as demanding, but because they're more fun)
