Crytek has confirmed that the secret level currently appearing for gamers in the (currently) Xbox 360 exclusive Crysis 2 multiplayer demo is there by design.

EA has announced that they will be releasing a PC demo of Crysis 2. The announcement follows PC gamers moaning that the demo was previously exclusive to the Xbox 360. Crysis was previously a PC exclusive series and we guess PC gamers wanted their loyalty repaid. We enjoyed the 360 demo, even though having just one map does get a bit stale. The game sort of feels like a more Read More ...

The Crysis 2 multiplayer demo is exclusive to the 360, and that comes in at a respectable Read More ...
Crytek have announced that a multiplayer demo for Crysis 2 will be released exclusively on the Xbox Live Marketplace on Tuesday 25th January. Quite why a previously PC-exclusive franchise is getting a 360 exclusive demo is beyond us, but there we go. The content of the demo hasn’t been confirmed yet, but that trailer up there might be some indication. Crysis 2 will be released on the 360, PS3 and Read More ...
Crytek has announced that Crysis 2 will be released in North America on 22nd March and Europe on 25th March 2011. EA delayed the game earlier this month, shifting it from holiday 2010 to Q1 2011. No one has said why it’s been delayed yet, but we’re guessing it’s to give Crytek some additional polishing time or to get the game out of a competitive Christmas gaming meltdown. The game Read More ...

Turns out Crysis 2′s E3 trailer was real-time rendered PC footage.

Crytek took to the stage to show off some new gameplay from Crysis 2 at EA’s E3 Press Conference tonight, and boy it was something. There was explosions, chaos, carnage, people flying everywhere, dudes going invisible and the Metlife building got destroyed. The game is looking stunning and we can’t wait to give it a bash when it comes out this autumn. Here’s the trailer:
Microsoft has announced that Crytek is developing an exclusive new game for the Xbox 360. At the moment it’s called “Codename Kingdoms”. We’re not sure if that genuinely is its name or if it is indeed a codename, but that’s what it’s going by right now. It looks like it’s going to take place in ancient Rome or some other place with old-school gladiators.
