There’s a famous saying: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Well, in this case, the clearly functional Crysis Trilogy was only broken by its original system, PlayStation 3.

Just like Alienware, Dell started out as a manufacturer of custom-built computers, and they were the first company to offer long-lasting lithium-ion batteries in their laptops.

Alan Wake Remastered – Review

Developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games, this remaster is almost exactly like the original and comes with the two DLC episodes.
