Crysis Coming to a Console Near You!
Crytek and EA have decided that console gamers need more Crysis and that is exactly what you are going to get according to todays announcement by the publishing giant. The orginal Crysis will be coming to Xbox LIVE and Playstation Network, but you wont be getting a bog standard port, oh no! You will be getting a graphically enhanced version of the title with Crytek’s CryENGINE 3 under the bonnet, sporting all new lighting, effects and other visual optimizations.
“We are extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish with Crysis.We set out to create a next-generation FPS and delivered a PC experience that became a benchmark for quality – and still is for many gamers even four years later,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. “By bringing the single-player campaign to console, we believe we are again setting a new standard for quality in downloadable gaming.”
If you listen closely, you can hear PC gamers shouting “WHAT THE FUDGE!”. Let the platform rivalry banter begin! Oh wait, it never stopped.
Crysis will be going for £15.99/$19.99 SRP or 1600 Microsoft Points and hitting your download service of choice next month.

I am one of the founding members who decided to get together and begin this amazing site with like minded people....Uni is an amazing thing!
I live, breathe, eat, sleep and drink GEEK! Been gaming since I was 4 years old and have made it my mission to own every gaming platform since I held my first NES controller. There isn't a genre I don't enjoy, if a game is even remotely good I'll be playing it. In my spare time (when I'm not gaming) I like to feed my anime, Japanese Culture and Gundam model kit addictions.
If we are going to get on there is two things you need to acknowledge - Hideo Kojima is a GOD and Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a master piece!
God truly is a GEEK!
