Why You Should Play Crysis 2 Remastered

  Ever since Crysis came out back in 2007, I've been an ardent fan of the game and later on, the entire series as a whole. The first Crysis was nothing like I had ever seen and offered a level of gameplay freedom and dynamics that haven't really been surpassed in the first person shooter genre ever (seriously)----from fully emergent and empowering moment-to-moment gameplay to the unprecedented level of interaction and possibilities it handed the player at any given point, Crysis is a timeless and genre-redefining experience that still stands out in a league of it's own even after more than 15 years of it's release.   And after the news came out that the inevitable sequel of Crysis is coming out in 2011, it instantly became one of the most hyped games for me and I remember reading every little nugget of development news and information that I could find on the game back then. And looking back after all these years, Crysis 2 still remains one of the most anticipated games

Why Dragon Ball Sparking Zero could turn out to be one of the Greatest Dragonball Games yet

    The reason there have been so many Dragonball games over the years and yet very few actual decent ones, is that most of those games have completely missed the point of a DB game, on what a game based on the iconic franchise should really be all about. Instead they experimented with different blend of genres to mixed results like how the relatively successful Xenoverse series had tried to merge the usual combat mechanics of a fighting game with the progression system typically found in a Role Playing Game, or how the more faithful Kakarot aimed to be a full blown Dragonball simulator instead. But in between all of that, they largely missed the core of what a Dragonball game is supposed to be about--and that's one of the reasons why the upcoming Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero could turn out to be one of the greatest games in the history of the series.   Cause unlike those previous games, Dragonball: Sparking Zero seems to understand what truly makes a great DB game and more import

NVIDIA vs AMD in the Mid-range Segment

      The general consensus in the mid-range category of Graphics cards is that as AMD offers a bit more straight up rasterization performance which results in a tad higher FPS than the NVIDIA cards in most cases, it's generally understood that AMD offers much better value for money in this price segment. But this point of view is largely incomplete as it doesn't take into account for both Ray Tracing and Upscaling capabilities which offer substantial reasons as to why NVIDIA cards (some of them, at least) can be a better buy over AMD even in this segment.    Cause honestly, if you're willing to buy a mid-range GPU in 2024, there's absolutely no reason why you would want to skip on Ray Tracing which is present in far more titles than it's ever been and is well on it's way to become a new visual standard in the industry.     And as far as Ray Tracing goes, it's a well known fact that AMD is still far behind NVIDIA at this moment. So going for an AMD card in
