I bought Crysis Warhead from Steam a little while back (it and clear sky are #1 and #2 best sellers on Steam atm). Started downloading on Friday took me 12 hours at about 6gigs worth :P I didn't get retail because it's not out here until around the 25th, and it would have been about $10 more, so Steam wins.
The gameplay is obviously very much like Crysis, which means I enjoyed it, first few levels were great. The game took me about 5 hours to finish, compared to 9 for Crysis. Runs about the same, although I think I squeezed better settings out of Warhead. AI was a bit quirky, only one crash (ironically 20 seconds after I started). it has some good music too ;) I haven't tried Crysis Wars yet, it's has team deathmatch and a few more maps, another 5 hours download for me probably :P
Screenies!
I jotted down my thoughts in a review (8.5)

If you read my previous blog you know the woes I faced with Clear Sky. Because I was a big fan of SHOC. I decided to patch her up and then start again. Thankfully I got through most of the bit I did before fairly quickly because I knew exactly what to do. Amazingly (luckily?) the game is completely crashless up to this point, AI still has bugs. Just finished the first underground section. I'm really liking it, but I hear there is a new patch due out soon, which will fix more crashes.

Our good buddy Geralt got a bit of a facelift, rather his game world did. In the form of the Enhanced Edition, they re-released The Witcher with a few updates, namely more dialog, more npc clothes, animations, color models for monsters, a few new quests and some optimizations with the load times. Those with the original game can get the patch for FREE!
Download the EE Patch (you need to register your game)

I preordered this bad boy yesterday.
Far Cry 2 CE, wooden box, t-shirt, map, art book. It recently got 94% in PC Gamer.
I'm thinking of doing a new banner and avatar for gamespot, just to freshen things up, any suggestions?
