All you need to do is fly a plane around taking pictures for a day, and then
let the computer crunch on it a while.

Huh? There are only 7 levels...
Unless Steam provides the game in blocks that is... ?

Sure, it works for geological features. Doesn't work so well for
man-made structures.

Well, given that the game hasn't finished downloading yet, I didn't know
that. :-P

Well, let's see, that's 3 crashes so far. I wonder how many more times
this game is going to crash? Seriously, this makes MS Word look
reliable. :-P

Have you downloaded the last 1.5 patch? You really should do it before
playing, unless it's included with steam? (I bought the discs).
Anyway, here it is if not:

Steam's entire purpose is to install updates, so I'm pretty sure it's
already in there. ;-)

Well, that was fairly short...
It was fun and everything, but I don't think it was quite as good as
Crysis. (I notice, though, that Warhead lets me play even though Process
Explorer is running. Crysis refuses to run unless I disable PE - with is
a massive PITA.)
The pacing wasn't as good, and half the time I didn't really know what
was happening around me. This is mostly because almost all of the dialog
happens while you're being shot to pieces.
Also, some of the missions were fairly boring. Like the one where you
just sit on a train, waiting for it to reach the station. You don't have
to *do* anything, just wait. Or the one where you and a bunch of guys
just have to run to the tunnel entrance. You're utterly surrounded by
alien forces trying to kill you, but actually, if you just ran away, you
don't get injured all that much. So it's basically just an exercise in
running.
Still, it was an enjoyable way to spent 4 hours. I don't suppose I'll
