With 2011 wrapping up, PushStartSelect takes a look at the previous year in gaming, and the handful of games that suffered from overhyping. They were not necessarily bad games, but they failed to live up to all the expectations surrounding them.
"It's that time of year when Federal regulations mandate that all media organizations publish their Top Ten lists. All of Player Affinity's gaming department will be rolling out our choices for Best Of in these last few days of 2011, and the PC Department is starting off with Fergus Halliday's choices for Ten Best PC Games of 2011:"

PSBeyond compares FPS franchises including Modern Warfare, Half-Life, Battlefield, Operation Flashpoint and Crysis to their closest cinematic equivalents
"For many of us the VGAs were a bit underwhelming.
We had new announcements in the form of new ‘post-apocaliptic’ zombie survival type games (sigh), and new footage of some upcoming games that look either very promising (Bioshock Infinite, Hitman Absolution) or incredibly silly (Metal Gear Rising: Revengance, or as I call it: Devil May Rise: Cryvengance).
Then we had the idiocy that made our gaming industry look even more puerile with ‘tea bagging’ those whose speech went a little long and..."
Black Friday will soon be upon us and GameStop is always one of the go-to stores for video games so here are their Xbox 360 deals. Big titles like Gears of War 3, Battlefield 3, and Crysis 2 get some good discounts.

Writing a good review or holistic critique of a video game is easy, because that analysis feeds off interesting subject matter. Writing an interesting video game product review, on the other hand, is extremely difficult.
Somehow we're already halfway through 2011. What games have stood out so far? Joystick Division looks at the ten best games of the first half of 2011.
Crytek has finally heard the cries of Crysis 2 PS fans. Two major patches will be released next week which will be called DX11 Ultra Upgrade Pack. The latch will include...
"While the original Crysis has long represented the benchmark of PC gaming, its successor hasn't garnered quite the same reputation. Crysis 2 shipped without support for DirectX 11, making the initial launch of the game not quite as cutting-edge as PC enthusiasts would have liked.. It appears that Crytek is nearly ready to release an updated version of the game, targeted specifically for DX11 cards."
Online retailer, Amazon.com, has discounted the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Crysis 2 by 33% as their Day of the Day sale for Father’s Day.

One of the most anticipated console games from Crytek arrived, and for some it was jubilation, and others, anger.
But why? Well for some, the mere fact the game was coming to consoles was a blasphemes occurrence, and for the others, it was a sense of, about time.
Come check out a true gamers perspective on the title, plus there's footage showing the difference between the 3 platforms, and there's barely anything in it.

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...
""The developers of Crysis 2 have been talking a lot of talk leading up to the game’s release. Boasting the best graphics on any platform and most sophisticated AI and level design to date are hard things to live up to. While Crysis 2 is beautiful and a blast to play, some of the hype appears to have been taken from the Peter Molyneux school of press releases.""
"Time and time again we look into how video games are not adapting well to film. We dive down into the cracks and explain how we would fix it. We talk about games that would make fantastic movies, (and directors that should stay away from them). However there is one key aspect people seem to be missing. Video games are starting to become better story tellers than many Hollywood movies, and at the end of that road maybe a video game will be the front runner to a film."
The newest episode of Pixelated Radio features discussions of the Nintendo 3DS, Crysis 2, Homefront, Dragon Age II, Ōkamiden, Faery: Legends of Avalon, Tornado Outbreak, Rayman 3D, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, Islands of Wakfu, and plenty more.

David then talks about the newest Mass Effect 2 DLC: The Arrival and his continuing Civilization 5 obsession."
"Woop woop, it's finally here! The sequel to one of my favourite PC AAA titles has brought some nice sandbox action to console players, and offers a refreshing world in which to shoot stuff. Crysis 2 continues the story of the Ceph invasion, and pits Alcatraz, a US marine who inherits a powerful biosuit against vastly superior forces intent on both capturing him and destroying the world."
Honestly, Crytek can't catch a break when it comes to the video game landscape. First, they had a security breach which led to Crysis 2 being leaked. Now, there are cheaters running rampant in their latest multiplayer offering. Check out the full story for all the details.
"It’s been a little over a week since the release of Crytek’s latest shooter and despite whether you like the game or not, everyone seems to be having their say. It’s quite sad to see the sheer overwhelming amount of negativity hurled towards the title. But are people simply whining for the sake of whining, or is there justification? I’ve been playing a lot of the game recently and have come to the conclusion that the more I play it, the closer I come to the realization that it’s not only a di..."
"On this week's episode of the BonusEXP podcast Nick gives his in-depth impressions of Crysis 2 and Game Dev Story, Pat talks about his time with Shogun 2 - Total War and the Mortal Kombat demo, David raves at Civilization 5's DLC and trashes Dead Space 2's Severed DLC, Andy finishes up Alan Wake: The Writer and gives his analysis of the Marvel vs Capcom 3 patches, and we jointly discuss the merits and faults of Pixeljunk Shooter 2.

Crysis 2 is one of the most anticipated titles of the year. The story takes place in a ravished NYC and displays some of the greatest graphics this reviewer has ever seen. Check out the full review to see what we thought. Cheers!
"If Crytek forgot to add numerous graphics options into the PC version of Crysis 2, modders have found the solution. A modder has released an extreme graphics autoexec.cfg file. It was pretty known by Crysis 1 and Warhead gamers to optimize many details of the game. You were able to change the Depth of Field or Field of View."
"It’s no secret that Crytek have a high reputation for pushing hardware to it’s limits. In fact, it was only until last year that I had a system with enough testosterone to enjoy the original Crysis with the visual flair that was originally intended. While for many this may be considered a bad thing, there’s no denying that their games are more than just visual benchmarks – they’re solid titles by their own merits and often makes it hard to resist buying that new graphics card or computer upgr..."
Look at that BAMF with a sweet looking gun. That's right, that guy is in Crysis 2. The game features good looking suits but is that all that it has to offer? Check out this review to find out.
"Whether played in 3D or standard 2D, Crysis 2 drops players into a devastated New York in the midst of an attack by a frightening alien species. The alien enemies are armed with deadly weaponry and exceptional sensory abilities that test players' skill and push them to the limit. These terrifying invaders stalk the streets of New York, leaving the streets in chaos and the skyline in flaming ruin. (Crysis 2, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)"

Online retailer, Amazon.com, has revealed their extremely enticing launch day deal for the first-person shooter, Crysis 2 on the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
"I’ll confess. I didn’t play the original Crysis. Blame Crytek for building an engine that still struggles to run on high settings of contemporary PCs, much less consoles. While there needs to be standard bearers for graphics processing power, for good or bad, the original Crysis still sets the standard on PC gaming in the visual arena. Unfortunately, it makes for an exclusive group of gamers."
Crytek has finally released Crysis 2 and what better way to do that than release a gorgeous cinematic trailer along with it. The trailer really shows off the Nano suit that will play a significant role in the gameplay. Check out the video. Cheers!
Two new screenshots have been released by Electronic Arts UK today for the upcoming first-person shooter, Crysis 2 for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Crysis 2 PS3 version seems to suffer from serious graphics bugs. It is said to be the worst version on many webzines. More, many other troubles seem to bother PS3 gamers experience. We have no news from Crytek to correct these issues.
"When players think of the Crysis franchise, their minds usually go to one thing: the graphics. A franchise renowned for pushing PCs (and now consoles) to the limit, the upcoming Crysis 2 is a beautiful game. Fortunately, limiting our discussion on Crysis 2 to graphics is cutting the game short. It’s safe to say that people know little about the original Crysis’ storyline. As someone entering the series with zero knowledge of the nanosuit, aliens, etc., I was a little apprehensive about trying..."
A new video found on YouTube shows off Crysis 2 on both the Xbox 360 and PC. The two titles look exceptionally well but there's one version that is easily superior. Check out the full article and video to see which one reign’s supreme. Cheers!

David goes on a PC gaming binge which includes Civilization 5 and Just Cause 2 and later slanders the faultless Culdcept Saga. Nick returns to Mass Effect 2 and Enslaved, and we all talk about various Command & Conquer entries.
There's a heap of gaming news out of GDC including multiple game announcements and technology..."

Its game studios also have several 3-D-compatible video games in the works.
The latest, Killzone 3 in 3-D, comes out today on PS3 for $60. This space combat game pits the player as part of a squad of humans combating an alien force called the Helghast.

"Piracy is a real concern. The PS3 has been cracked now as well and people are downloading PS3 games and 360 games are being downloaded so that's a threat to just the industry in general," he told The Average Gamer, discussing the problem of illegal downloads more generally at first.
"For us specifically, it was a very traumatic experience because we're really excited about the game and the quality that we were able to get into it and what we were able to accomplish...We're at the end and w..."

As everyone is now probably aware, Crysis 2 PC version has been leaked, or at least a near completed version of the game has. Many videos have popped up over the internet of various parts of the game, however, by far the most impressive thus far is the intro to the game. Do not watch the video if you don’t want spoilers.
"That was the general consensus and everybody seemed fine with it. Sure, pirates out there made justifications for why they were downloading it while other people got somewhat holier-than-thou about it all and decried them all, screaming that pirates should burn in hell. No matter what, nobody thought this would do anything but hurt Crytek."
A new video has hit YouTube showcasing the first 25 minutes of Crytek's lastest offering into the first-person genre. Check out the full story for impressions and the video. Cheers!
"Who really didn't see this coming sooner or later? News recently broke out that an "unfinished" version of Crysis 2 has been leaked and is now dripping through the internet connections of many hungry thieves all over the world. This leak contains not only what is presumably the full single player campaign, but also multiplayer with serial key included. This news will surely make pirates cream from their eyeballs and knock their wooden legs together, but ultimately comes a really low blow to C..."
Amazon has revealed some new details for the official strategy guide of the upcoming first-person shooter, Crysis 2 for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
"Cevat Yerli has recently confirmed that Crysis 2 will he “superior from every angle” on PC. It’s an important news for many frustrated PC gamers who have, these days, PC versions suffering from the poorer console versions adaptations especially about the control systems, FOV and textures."

This week's news consists of mostly PSP2... I mean NGP. We also greet the return of user emails, and a bit of movie discussion. Stay tuned at the end of the show if you want to hear some spoiler talk about the ending of Dead Space 2. U..."
"Poor Crysis 2. While it’s an anticipated game, it’s always going to hide behind the ground breaking beauty of its predecessor. After all, Crysis 1 is still the standard bearer for game graphics, and the fact that Crysis 2 is not only going on PC, but the Xbox 360 and the PS3, means that across the board there are some expected cuts."
A few days ago the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo was released exclusively on Xbox LIVE. The game players very much like Call of Duty...only better in every way. Could Crysis 2 oust Black Ops from the #1 spot?
So Crytek released a crappy demo of their upcoming first-person shooter, Crysis 2. Today we find out that players are having issues with the game freezing. Check out the article for Crytek's response.
A recent multiplayer demo was released and theGamerBuzz is here to give you the full run down on what you should expect after the massive download finishes. Cheers
With this being my first EA press event, I didn’t know what to expect...other than the free food and drinks on the house and the 20 TVs all set up each with the Xbox 360 Crysis 2 multiplayer demo out for display. Seeing how I haven’t even played the first Crysis, one could say that I came into my first playthrough with fresh eyes.
"We’re hosting another contest for our members to enter, and we’ve got one hell of a prize up for grabs! We’re giving you the chance to win a completely one of a kind, never before seen piece of Crysis 2 concept art, made by a Crytek concept artist."
"In 2011, two shooter heavyweights go to head to head; id Software’s RAGE and Crytek’s Crysis 2.
id are the veritable granddaddy of the first person shooter. Way back in the 90s, the Texan software house–now owned by ZeniMax–made the genre what it is today with their pioneering games: Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein 3D."
"After our story earlier about Crytek’s community, we got some very mixed responses and emails come in. Some people were pleased to see a potential problem with a game developer be highlighted, other people, were well, not so pleased, after what we’re sure was a completely unrelated DDoS attack."
"Today, though, an undercurrent of displeasure has manifested itself over at Crymod, Crytek’s official modding forum. Lavizh, a four star ‘Experienced Modder’ revealed an angry email he’s sent to Crytek."
"2010 gave PC gamers enough variety and support to keep most of us happy and push away the rumors that “PC gaming is dead”. The long awaited Star Craft 2 was welcomed with open arms by Star Craft fans, the latest installment of the Call of Duty series let us have dedicated servers for Black Ops even though the game its self was a little on the buggy side, Indie developers showed the big boys how to make a scary game with Amnesia, WoW players scored another dose of their addiction in the form o..."

"Now just so we’re clear, not every laptop on this list is specifically setup as a gaming rig, but within its price range and for what they’re worth, gamers who are looking for something adequate enough to game-on while on the go can find something spiffy and affordable enough with the following laptops"
"Critical Gamer writes: My time spent with Crysis 2 seemed very brief. Playing it on the lovely open platform that the PC provides, the game build was, unfortunately, not that stable, with a frantic man running between the machines, correcting the crashes that happened consistently throughout the day. It was understandably a buggy pre-release version of a game due out next year, and on the plus side, it let me play the same section twice in a row. This would normally have been frustratingly te..."
Young gamers perspective on whatlays ahead for gamers, be they young, or old is always an interesting topic to view.

head over there now and take a squiz . . .
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.
"You couldn’t help but notice Crysis 2 at Gamescom last week and fans must have gotten around to the massive EA booth on the show floor and queued up to get a look at the multiplayer shooter that was on show. Those fortunate to have gotten into the Crysis 2 booth and headed straight for the PC’s all came out quite happy but as I was last in the queue and the only machine left for me was a 360. As I rarely game on PC anymore I was quite happy to get a go on a console version and I still thought..."
"Fans of first-person shooters were disappointed when it was announced that Crysis 2 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 was delayed from its original fall release into 2011. Now EA and Crytek have set the new release date as..."
Although the holiday season may be packed with big blockbuster releases, a few highly-anticipated games ended up slipping into next year. Here are the top 10 games that were delayed until 2011.
Man, shooters for this holiday keeps getting thinner and thinner while the first half of next year is just looking ridiculous. As long as the games come out better than if they had been released early though.
"Electronic Arts has been on a roll with the EA Partners program. Perhaps you’ve heard of Rock Band, Left 4 Dead, and Crysis. The program put EA back on the maps of hardcore gamers, and shed EA’s snakeskin as the company for sequels and yearly sports titles with new rosters, and little else. It’s now safe to speak about love for EA in public without being ridiculed for falling prey to “the man.”"
"When Crytek makes a game, we look. No, really, we go and see how amazing it looks, because they simply make the most stunning games around. So when Crysis 2 trailers popped up prior to E3, we knew we had to see the game in person."
"If Crysis 2 was a bit discrete these days, it’s certainly because we had plenty of in-game footage during the E3 last month to discover the upcoming and very anticipated FPS."
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.
A new developer diary series from Crytek kicks off with "Crysis 2 TV" that will give us the ins and outs of Crysis 2 straight from the developer's mouths.
"Crysis 2 promises to be THE masterpiece. It will be released on Fall 2010 (October / November according the the last clues) but I’m sure it will be hard to wait. The E3 revealed new videos and new screenshots of the game which confirm that we are in presence of a huge FPS."
"This afternoon during Electronic Arts’ press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Crytek GmbH, the award-winning developers of the Crysis franchise, announced that Crysis 2 will also be available in true stereoscopic 3D."
Crysis 2 will be available on Autumn 2010. Since we still aren't sure of a precise release date, the web starts to talk about the upcoming beta of the game. Here is a way to have a chance to play the beta!

Alex Baldwin takes a satirical look at modern day game journalism, in 10 simple steps.
The art of journalism has slumped in the last several years, and many bloggers have contributed to that. Especially when they quote developers or game artists/publishers 'out of context' in order to gain views or traffic for $$.
COme check out how one writer sees how the industry is going on a more lighthearted approach. Well worth the read, be warned, it is satire - okay.
"GamingShogun.com writes: "On GTTV the other day, they showed the first gameplay video of Crytek's upcoming shooter, Crysis 2. Today, we have the clips of that footage for you to enjoy! Crysis 2 takes place some time after the events of the first game and puts players in charge of taking back..."

Crytek belives 3D is here to stay and promise us plenty of eyecandy that's sure to give us cavities as they implement 3D into an already visually stunning game.
Want to hear more about Crysis 2? Then check out this video. Not alot of new stuff but more of the executive producer talking generally about the game.
LunchBox and PartyBoy host The Game Carnival an exclusive to GamersRevenge. An Uncensored podcast, where they give you their outspoken and controversial take on the week in video games.
"Crytek has told CVG that development of Crysis 2 for PS3 and 360 "looked impossible" at various points during its creation - but that the firm overcame these difficulties to create a "masterpiece" across three formats.
The title is due for release on PC, PS3 and 360 later this year - but its critically lauded predecessor didn't arrive on console."
"Crytek has been talking up a storm since they announced Crysis 2 last week. We've heard the man behind the story of Crysis 2 knock Halo and Modern Warfare 2 and CEO, Cevat Yerli, talk about which game platform Crysis will run best on. Now Yerli predicts the end of the free game demos that gamers have become accustomed to having."
"Crytek games since Far Cry have been known to break the will of even the most powerful gaming PCs. When news hit that Crysis 2 was coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 at the same time as the PC version, gamers wondered how they could compare. Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli is leaving no doubt about where the graphically superior version of the game resides."
"Novelist Richard Morgan returns time and again to Uncharted 2 as proof positive that good storytelling can be found in games, if you but look hard enough...
“There is absolutely no reason why you can’t weld a really good narrative to a really cool shooting game. Uncharted 2 is the perfect example,” he told us “it’s tongue-in-cheek, but it’s a compelling story and it’s a very straight-forward gameplay dynamic. Crysis 2, fine, it is fundamentally about firefights – about shooting stuff – but..."
"We reported in our previous article that Richard Morgan considered Halo: Reach as “bullshit” and Modern Warfare 2 as an “immense disappointment”. Richard Morgan is back on Killzone 2: “What I have seen of Crysis 2 in Alpha stages surpasses Killzone 2″."
"Crysis 2 writer, Robert Morgan, isn't shy about letting others know how he feels about other games and game sites apparently aren't shy about asking him. The noted science fiction author voiced his disappointment with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 when asked by gaming website CVG. In an exclusive interview with NowGamer, Morgan was asked how he felt about the Halo series and Morgan did not hold back."
"Crytek will release Crysis 2 into an environment that wants to declare the high-budget console game a dinosaur in the face of digital and social gaming. A game like FarmVille, as is the common refrain of investors and venture capitalists, can garner millions of users and plenty of revenue without focusing on graphics at all.
"I think graphics matter a lot," Yerli asserts. "It depends on the type of game. If graphics and technology, AI and physics provide you a better experience but a chal..."
"Crysis 2 will technically propose a new experience.
