I'm sorry if this is too indirect (wait for the pun...), but it is related to Direct3D 10. I'd like to say it wouldn't make me get Windows Vista on its own, but I might be wrong. For those who are fans of Far Cry, the CryENGINE has been updated to CryENGINE 2 and is built on the Direct3D 10 under Vista. With the new engine, they have built Crysis.

If you haven't yet checked out the videos, my god, do so now. For you Xboxers out there, cross your fingers and hope for cross-platformation.

Now more about the OP: I think the more advanced games get in terms of what you can do in them, the more "achievements" will be possible. Area damage is a big deal now. Imagine what you can do with that.
