Crysis, the gorgeous sci-fi shooter from German developer Crytek Frankfurt, is a PC game. So is its sequel, Crysis 2 — that, and an Xbox 360 and a PS3 game.
The game is the second entry in the planned Crysis triology and will be published by EA. “The development of Crysis 2 marks a major stepping stone for our studio,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “This is not only the next game in the Crysis franchise, it’s the first title we are developing for consoles and the first title being built on CryENGINE 3.”
No word on a release date.

Now there is no reason to worry about all the spec’s of a PC to be able to play it properly on default settings.
I’m predicting a much better looking game on the PS3 (with Blu-ray and the power of the CryENGINEs) but i’ll be getting on the Xbox.
I still think they should port Crytek for consoles.

Sorry that sounded a bit arsey. But hay, its true.
