"While 2011 brought us a number of outstanding retail games, it also opened the doors for several great downloadable efforts. Xbox Live Arcade saw its fair share of these games this year, with such innovative titles as Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Daytona USA, From Dust, and Torchlight. Surprisingly enough, those titles in particular managed to barely JUST miss being in our top 20 Xbox Live Arcade games of 2011 list. It was THAT close, people. But the ones we did pick are phenomenal efforts..."

NoobFeed.com is glad to announce that FPS elite Crytek will be taking on the sequel to THQ's Homefront. Despite lesser reviews, the publisher is not letting its spirits down by enlisting some of the strongest men in shooter land.
Crytek has revealed new screens comparing the old and new builds for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the recently-announced first-person shooter, Crysis.
MP1st editor David Veselka comments on Crysis 2's multiplayer community. He weighs in on the potential Crysis 2 had to become one of the staple FPSs along side Call of Duty and Black Ops, how it fell short.
The first screenshots have been revealed by Electronic Arts for the remastered console versions of Crysis, which will be released in October for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Electronic Arts and Crytek GmbH, announced today that Crysis will be available for download via Sony's and Xbox's digital channels (PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE).
No longer a rumor, the official trailer has been released for Crysis on Xbox 360 and PS3. Whats even cooler is that they will be downloadable titles! Can you believe we've advanced enough to fit all that information onto an XBLA/PSN title?
Crytek's Crysis, also known has a title that will break any PC in terms of its demand for power, is now rumored to come to consoles, at least Xbox 360. Make the jump to check out the details.
"Yesterday, it was reported there was a listing found on the Korean Games Rating Board for a potential port of the original Crysis on the Xbox 360. The game was released the latter part of 2007, and wowed audiences with its amazing graphics. It seems that now the ESRB has rated both an Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 version of the game, thus almost confirming its release."
Crysis 2 may be sitting happily on consoles as we speak, but where is the original Crysis? According to a listing on the Korean Game Ratings Board, Crysis may be headed to a Xbox 360 near you!
With the recent onslaught of "Next-Gen" technology in the news the past few months, it was only a matter of time before Crytek, the studio that brought the visually dazzling Crysis...
FPS fans will definitely want to check out this retrospective fan video compilation covering 30 years worth of games in the genre. We've come a long way, baby.
People love Crysis, but why? Is it the gameplay, the story, the graphics or the controls? Will people just buy any shooter on the 360 or PC? Well Jim Sterling has an opinion on the matter.
"This new mod is particularly interesting: it changes Crysis Wars or Crysis engine with a cel-shading look. Crysis was visually exceptionnal but this mod has decided to turn the game’s graphics to a new visual experience."
GameZone's Dakota Grabowski explores the reality of a free agent market for the video game industry and three developers that would most likely receive a lot of attention from publishers.
"The Momentum mod for Crysis allows new maneuvers such as sliding, diving, sideway rolling, wall running, wall climbing, edge jumping, vaulting and auto rolling to Darkwish’s parkour flowgraph. In addition it combines the famous Max Payne’s move slow motion with ninja abilities such as the ninja rope and abseiling as played out in a survival horde style map. The mod can be downloaded on ModDB."
"Shutterland is a new map built around an island. This mod can be played on Crysis, Crysis Wars and Crysis Warhead and is developed by Thomas5678. The mods make the Shutterland island map playable for single and multiplayer modes."
An amazing new mod for Crysis that puts the Delorean from Back to the Future into the game shows an unprecedented level of attention to detail, from the flame-trails to the smoke venting and frost-covered windshield.
"In the never-ending battle for technical graphical supremacy, there aren't any winners.
While we can compare spec sheets, polygons, parallax mapping resolution and pixel counts, in the end it doesn't mean a thing.
What's important is how it artistically appeals to you as you are immersed in the carefully crafted virtual world.
So with that in mind, it's time for an artistic look at the Top 10 Best Graphics This Generation."
Crytek, most famous for the game Crysis and creating one hell of an engine is upset with what could be future German laws. Germany is about to outlaw even the production of violent games, which would leave Crytek either two options: outscource or leave the country. The law isn't official yet as a petition is in the works to block it from ever becoming official.
Today, we have aprox 15 new updates from the past week from the CryMod Community. We have put together an small description and the link to the entire mod and what they are doing. If you are interested in full modification of Crysis, Cry Warhead or simply add-on, maps, vehicles check it out.
GameSpot has a pretty great expose online now regarding the "DRM dilemmna" -- that is, publisher action said to minimize piracy by limiting what gamers can do with a given title for the PC.
In it they speak to DRM advocates, opponents, developers, publishers, and DRM vendors themselves -- a must-read if you're looking to gain a broader perspective on the matter at hand, or don't know what DRM is about.
Crytek brought PC gamers some of the greatest graphics to face the gaming community. But console gamers felt a little left out. Well after announcing the CryEngine 3 for consoles, they will also announce a game for the consoles at E3. As for the game, it could be Crysis, or a whole new game. One thing for sure, it will look beautiful.
Nothing huge to speak of this week, though a few things out of the ordinary have turned up, like Crysis: Maximum Edition, which houses the original Crysis, side-story Crysis Warhead, and the latter game's multiplayer mode Crysis Wars.
Besides that, Wii owners are treated to a remake of the solid platformer Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, and DS owners can experience the classic Jagged Alliance, a Fallout/Shadowrun-ish game which got its start on PC many years ago.
"For years Crytek was wowing PC owners with incredible videos of tropical environments revealed to be Crysis running on the CryEngine 2. Despite mixed reviews when it was finally released, one thing was clear: Crysis was the most visually arresting game ever created. PC owners flocked to upgrade their graphics cards and processors to run the technical showpiece, but little word was heard of the possibility of running the engine on a console. (Except for the fact OXCGN had spotted it running on..."
The PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA) has released their report for the PC gaming market in 2008. A big portion of the money from PC games comes from the MMOs, with World of WarCraft making over a billion dollars each year.
There are a lot of other interesting facts about the PC market in 2008, it's worth a look.
It was recently announced that the CryEngine 3 will be making its way to platforms, Which means we could be seeing games almost as beautifull as Crysis. We will recieve a lot more infor at the upcoming GDC, for now we just get teased with this video.
Everyone knows the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover." Well the same applies to games you would think. But we all know that sometimes you see a game cover that just screams, "Buy Me!" Here's a list of 40 game covers that really got the attention for being imaginative and eye catching.
"Crytek has unveiled CryEngine 3 - not the next PC-exploding iteration of the tech, as the name would suggest, but an "all-in-one game development solution" for Xbox 360, PS3 and MMOs.
"CryEngine 3 is a revolutionary change from our previous PC-only engines," said Crytek CEO, Cevat Yerli of the engine. "CryEngine 3 will set the benchmark for complete game engine solutions in performance, and services to game engine licensees and their players.
"We've been preparing a long time for CryEn..."
"I know Crysis and KillZone 2 received a heck of a lot of praise for their graphics, but Arma II is literally right up there with them, if not a stride ahead. The game looks stunning, simply stunning. A new trailer was released and you can view it along with some exclusive new screen captures right here at Blend Games."
"If there ever was a graphical battle to be fought between two titanous games, I don't think it would get any bigger than this. Gird tight your loins fanboys, because this is going to be one hellacious comparison."
"Crytek announced today that it has founded Crytek Ltd., a subsidiary company in Seoul. The South-Korean based office, led by gaming industry veteran Young Mok Park, started operations recently. The team will expand Crytek's business into Asian markets, starting with Crytek's engine licensing business, with a dedicated engine support team for their existing and new partners in Korea and Asia..."
"If you thought that EA might have been humbled by the massive Internet backlash against its use of SecuROM in its recent games, then youd be wrong. Speaking at the Dow Jones/Nielsen Media and Money Conference, EAs CEO John Riccitiello claimed that the whole issue had been blown out of all proportion.
We implemented a form of DRM and it's something that 99.8 per cent of users wouldn't notice, claimed Riccitiello, but for the other 0.2 percent, it became an issue and a number of them la..."
A new trailer for Crysis Warhead has just launched to commemorate the release of the official expansion to the Crysis storyline. It sure shows off the graphics and action to be present in this title. And hopefully will outdo the first. Check the source for the trailer.
"Crytek and Valve have announced that both Crysis and the forthcoming Crysis Warhead will be released on Steam on September 17 in North America (18 worldwide), with pre-orders having already begun this weekend. The original Crysis will run you $39.99, and Crysis Warhead $29.99.
"Crytek is one of the industry's great success stories, emerging new technology and talent," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "Crysis is one of today's leading PC franchises and delivering the ori..."
A series of emails back and forth between EA "Customer Support" and a customer who was having problems with his downloaded purchase of Crysis.
After the usual banter about system specs, DirectX Diagnostics and network issues- they ultimately reply with the below quote.
Yikes.
"Everyone needs to check out the media on this outstanding work-in-progress level called Niveus. The level has been put together in Sandbox 2, of course, and it features a stunning custom-modeled/textured medieval city crafted by environment artist Andrew "androkles" Hasko. It took two and a half months of Andrew's time to reach this development stage for the level.
According to Hasko the goal was to not make a playable level per se but a medieval environment which is nice to look at, and ..."
While at the Games Convention in Leipzig, PCGH got a chance to play Crysis Warhead. They used a PC that contained Core 2 Extreme, 4GB of RAM, and a Geforce GTX 260 graphics card. PCGH noticed that the game was only running in DX 9 mode and that you weren't able to change any of the settings.
The game began with a introduction video, Psycho takes out a soldier with the cloaking ability on his Nanosuit. All that time 2,146 MB was being used, while Crysis never exceeded 1,300MB, which can ca...
Crytek, the developer of the highly enjoyed PC game Crysis, spoke at a panel involving video game graphics at the Leipzig GC, telling everyone that Crysis took over $22 million dollars to make.
Although it took so much money to develop, the game was still profitable for the popular developer. Cevat Yerli, the CEO of Crytek, said "if it wasn't profitable I wouldn't be able to stand here."
I bet if the game wasn't pirated by so many people, Crytek would have gained even more money off o...
Activision has recently settled upon a contract with PureBalance, the creators of the anti-cheat software called PunkBuster. The software will be tied into CoD: World at War and will make sure no hacking or glitching occurs when the game is released and onward.
PunkBuster has also planted its roots in the Battlefield series, Crysis, and F.E.A.R.
Electronic Arts has pinned down the release date for the upcoming Crysis Warhead: Europe will get it slightly earlier than North America (September 12th); the rest of us will have it on shelves September 16th.
"When the original Crysis released in late 2007, it raised the bar for graphics. However, since the graphics were so impressive, the system requirements intimidated many PC owners who didn't have killer gaming rigs. The German developer is attempting to alleviate that fear to reach a wider install base.
Yerli told German publication PCGames.de to expect Warhead to run any where from 30-35 frames per second at high settings on a $620 rig.
While Yerli said Warhead's optimizations were poss..."
Crytek have been a pioneer in the PC gaming industry, from Farcry to Crysis they have always delivered an outstanding gaming experience. But now in what could be a defining moment in the future of PC gaming, Engine business manager Harald Seeley from Crytek has announced that they will not create new PC exclusives and that all new franchises will be created with a cross platform strategy in mind
We finally have some information regarding the recently announced Crysis Warhead. It seems as though the game sets you in the shoes of "Psycho", a gun-happy squadmate from the original game. During that story, he is missing on his own operation for a while (you meet up with him later and he drops a hint to the effect of 'You'll never guess what happened to me'). Now we will find out exactly where he was and even interact with the player's original character from Crysis.
If you guys didn't here, Crytek announced that they would no longer be making patches to Crysis for a "good reason". A lot of people were wondering when that good reason would come and it looks like it's here already! It's a new Crysis game! The official website of Crysis has been updated with a single picture for Crysis Warhead, which is most likely going to be the next game in the series.
"If you ask me, Crytek looks like they're totally neglecting the fans that have stuck with them and endured with Crysis. With Crytek's whining and whoa-is-me attitude, they certainly aren't doing themselves any favors by screwing over their community. Good developers know that they have to satisfy their audience and perhaps more importantly, retain their trust. Crytek complains about PC piracy hurting their sales. But did they make sure they released a polished product (Crysis is still bug..."
"At this time, there almost certainly will not be a patch 1.3 delivered for Crysis. We are aware that this news will disappoint many of you, and we would like to apologize profusely. There is a good reason for this and we hope you understand when you hear more about the reasons why in the very, very near future. Please realize this was an extremely difficult decision, but please do know that we are listening to your comments and are making more consistent community support a high priority.

"Cevat Yerli: It is certainly. We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a chart leading that is not desirable. It was a big lesson for us and I believe we wont have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are going to support PC, but not exclusive anymore.
Cevat Yerli: Crysis as we have seen is impossible. Crysis would have to be largely changed to bring it to Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Cry..."
"Patch 1.2 can be applied to both vanilla Crysis (v1.0) and Crysis v1.1 since it will update automatically to Crysis version 1.2.
*Added new effects for vehicle shattering after being frozen
*Player movement will now be cancelled if the player is shooting while moving in prone mode.
*Fixed issue where player will exit VTOL from closed rear hatch irrespective of seat.
*Continuously firing the VTOL machine gun in 3rd person mode no longer causes the VTOL to descend.
*Fixed an issue where..."
"The latest issue of UK magazine, PSW, features an article stating that "it's no secret Crysis is coming to PS3". They explain the upcoming PlayStation 3 version will have aspects of the sequel, and is not a direct port. Let's take a look at the article.
"First up, we have Crysis. Now it's no secret that Crysis is coming to PS3 this year. The excitable, hard-worked coders over at Crytek have said as much in many interviews - they've even produced a new, multi-platform engine in readines..."
"The winners of the 2nd annual ELANS Awards have been announced and with five awards, this years big winner is BioWare. Their sci-fi RPG Mass Effect walked away with the Game of the Year, Best Art Direction, Best Game Design, Best Writing for a Game Production, and Best Character (Commander Shepard) awards."
"At the Game Developers Conference next month, for the first time ever, Crytek will be showing how CryENGINE 2 runs on other systems, namely on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Dont get too excited just yet though - the presentation will be open to a select audience only, so whether or not some footage will be released outside that room is a big fat question mark right now."

"Although Ubisofts sprawling third-person epic Assassins Creed runs without any serious issues on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, it would appear that PC gamers hoping to fully enjoy the adventures of master assassin Altair will first need to think about investing in better hardware.
Specifically, Windows XP and Vista owners should be armed with a minimum of 2GB of RAM (3GB recommended) as well as a 2.6GHz Intel Pentium D CPU as basic (with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz or better recommended). ..."
It seems as if there's still things that haven't been discovered about Crysis. Recently, it was discovered that going out of bounds in the game will lead to a (Very realistic looking) shark attacking you.
"Even before the PC version released, rumours of a PS3 conversion of the stunning Crysis (developed by Far Cry creators Crytek) were rife, and not far off the mark if insiders at the studio are to be believed. The game looks to be a port of the PC original plus some extra modes and features, a kind of Crysis 1.5. Like the PC game you can expect a visual powerhouse; an open-world shooter that begins on a beautiful tropical island before things take a turn for the worse and aliens from a paralle..."

Here goes the Crysis on consoles rumor again. An online store has listed a 360 version of the game as being available in November this year. Crytek has said in the past that if the PC version got great review scores then console versions are very possible. Keep your fingers crossed!
"Desolation: The long deserted colony of the Pitcairn Islands was one of the last crash sites to be discovered. The KPA reached the area first and set up a base amid the swampy wasteland.

"Unfortunately, there are still a ton of bugs in the game that can affect performance even more so than the high system requirements. At this time, patch #1 is currently being readied for release. Hopefully, this will fix some of these issues as it is always a shame for bugs to bring down opinion of an otherwise excellent game."
One of the biggest FPS for console and PC's didn't do so hot in sales in this month. Crysis being criticaly acclaimed only sold 86K. Mainly because most peoples computer can't even run the game. And Unreal Tournament only sold 33K because it was over shadowed by many other FPS's such as Bioshock, Halo 3, Call Of Duty 4 and The Orange Box. Maybe sales will pick up after December.
GamingShogun responds to the Top Ten Video Games of 2007, recently compiled by TIME. They end up disagreeing with several parts of the list and offer up alternatives.
The Top 10 According to TIME:
* Halo 3
* The Orange Box (although that is technically MANY games)
* Rock Band
* Super Mario Galaxy
* BioShock
* Call of Duty 4
* Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
* Mass Effect
* Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
* God of War 2
We're getting some very highly anticipated games this week. Really wonderful selection. Open up that there wallet and partake in some magnificent gaming.
This is a pretty hearty sized notable games list, and should deserve some playing time, no matter what your console allegiance is. We're all gamers here. Defense Forces need not apply. Support good games!
Personally, I am eagerly awaiting the Aeris (or maybe, Mario, from someone who received call yesterday) call from EBGames telli...
It seems like this years most anticipated game Crysis has not* been leaked and scene group Fairlight (FTL), has managed to get a hold of it. At the moment the game itself is being cracked, however, the bonus DVD which contains trailers, screenshots and high resolution renders from the game has been released. Crysis is set for a release date of Nov 16th, and has gone gold as of Oct 29th. If you know where to look you can find it.
You can find FTL at irc.belwue.de 6667 #fairlight however, se...
EA has now confirmed that the highly awaited Crysis title has finally gone gold. This makes it a step closer for gamers to taste the grass on the 16th November.
If you can't wait till the 16th November, you can check you the demo where it's currently available to download here.
Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek said that the group is very proud with what they have accomplished with Crysis. Not only did they create a graphic gawping game but it's simultaneously non linear and he says that the ...
"After two delays, the Crysis single-player demo has finally been unleashed. The 1.8GB demo features the entire first level from the game and includes around 45 minutes of gameplay."
The Crysis demo which was meant to be released worldwide today (Oct 26th) has now been officially delayed. It seems that the developer has read the early players feedback about the demo not functioning at all, which results in the developer delaying the highly awaited demo. The Crysis countdown to the demo's release has now been reset back to 22 hours. So basically the demo has been delayed for a day until the developer fixes the current situation.
Crysis site
Bad news for the gamers who pre-ordered Crysis with the promise of getting the demo a day before the rest of the world ... Apparently the demo is completely unplayable!
With numerous errors occuring once the demo has been installed, it seems that nobody has managed to actually play the "early release" of the demo yet.
Here's hoping these errors will be fixed by the the time the rest of the world is able to play it. Just 11 hours to go ...
The Crysis single player demo is set to be released in 14 hours for the PC, although by the time you read this news post it should evidently be less than 14 hours away. Early players who have experienced the demo have said that they've had trouble getting it to work.
The Crysis demo should include the first level and a game editor. The game Crysis won the award Best PC Game from Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 2007.
Crysis will be released simultaneously in both American & European ter...
The CryEngine 2 does truly show what it's capable of with these new screens. They just leave you gawping for sometime. It makes you think how much technology has advanced. These screens were taken from a PC mod for the upcoming game Crysis.
With the highly anticipated demo of Crysis being pushed back there's a bit of a surprise for all of you. I'm happy to announce that I got a heads up from a friend over at EA that Fileplanet is giving out keys. RIGHT NOW (zomg).
I managed to get my key, you better hurry up and get yours too if you want to get in to the beta. So, did you get your key yet? have they already run out? what's your story.
Note: This is for the multi player beta not the single player.
Today was supposed to be like Christmas Eve. The anticipation and excitement of something special to come the next day. The metaphorical "Christmas" which was the Crysis single player demo. The demo was to be released tomorrow (Sept 25th) the same day Halo 3 was to be released. Sadly, over the weekend I had the displeasure of reading that Crysis will be released now on October 26th, 2007.
Now, I know you're all disappointed as am I. As a bonus for our disappointment Crytek will be releasin...
You might think the day September 25, 2007 will just be another day if you're not a 360 owner when Halo 3 comes out but PC owners have something to look forward to as well. It was announced that a demo (with a surprise included) will be released on September 25th. The demo will feature the first level "Contact" and be on the look out for the surprise. Maybe a PS3 version? Let the speculation begin!
"This 3-disc set contains a tremendous amount of extras including behind the scenes looks and interviews with the minds behind Crysis at Crytek, and some of the breathtaking art that has kept people buzzing since the games debut.

PC fans, you've gotta love their calm and assured sense of being when it comes to high-quality gaming. And who could blame them when the likes of Crysis, Rage, StarCraft II, Age of Empires III, HellGate: London, and Tabula Rasa are all on the cards... and ALL exclusive. Not GamerSquad. Take a look at some of the collected goodness on offer on the PC format and perhaps take a step back from all that Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3 nonsense for a moment. Clarity is a beautful thing.
Phil Wright, of MCV was written an article, giving his opinion and reasoning why better graphics in games equal better gameplay. First, he gives examples. The first example talks about you chasing a thief through the city and people are bustling past you. The way they react gives better gameplay. Another example would be when you're lying in tall grass, waiting to ambush an enemy and the wind, the tree, how the grass reacts to the wind and how each individual blade moves. This gives hype.

Oldmike of the Playstation 3 Forum reportably went to GameStop and took a couple pictures that show possible box art for Crysis on the Playstation 3. When he asked about it, the manager of the shop overheard and yelled at the employee that it shouldn't be on the shelves yet. Whether this is another fake or not we do not know but very interesting none the less.
Yesterday it was known there was going to be a date push back, but, how far and how much are we going to cry? far...cry...get it? anyways, it was announced by EA today that Crysis can be expected to ship out on November 16th 2007 just in time for the Holidays. The news is that Crysis will be released for PC only on the November 16th date. Console owners who don't have a beefy godly computer will have to sit on their hands for now.
"According to Electronic Arts executives speaking during the company's latest analyst conference call, Crytek's highly anticipated first-person shooter Crysis has been delayed into the company's upcoming third fiscal quarter, which runs from October to December of this year. EA expects the game to release in early November.
Previously, Crysis was only officially confirmed as releasing in fiscal year 2008. Last month, various sources reported on a fact sheet claiming a September 14 ship date...."
"The day after Epic Games' Mark Rein stated that PC gaming technology (with Crysis cited as currently being the PC pinnacle) would be stifled for years to come by the profiteering of home consoles, today brings the closest information so far perpetuating the hope that Crysis might just be heading to the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3."
"GFW: We'll see, because everyone's tardy with their stuff. Of course, Crysis is coming out. We'll see if that makes it out... Not necessarily declaring one or the other better-looking right off the bat, but...
MR: If that's the quote you want, is Crysis better-looking than Gears of War? I don't think so. It's different. It looks great in its own way, but does it top the graphics bar for Gears of War? No.
...
GFW: Considering right now I don't even have Vista... [Laughs]
MR: That's..."
"Epic's Mark Rein has said the huge gulf between low-end and high-end PCs at present is making PC development a lot less economically viable.
He added that developers are going to want to plump for creating games on the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 rather than the PC, even if it means restricting themselves from the limits of their known graphical capabilities."
So many great-looking titles coming to the PC, and so little time to decide which to spend your money on. IGN is here to help, as they show us their top ten list for PC gamers:

"Global tensions have reached boiling point as the U.S. and North Korea square off in the South China Sea. At stake: a mysterious artifact uncovered by a team of U.S. archaeologists.
The North Korean government quickly seizes the area, prompting the U.S. to dispatch an elite team of Special Forces operatives on a rescue mission. During the siege the true nature of the artifact quickly emerges, pointing to the existence of an alien presence on Earth, and ultimately the trigger for a massive-s..."
