Crysis 2 Teaser Trailers [Clips]
Crytek feel that it's time to start teasing Crysis 2. But not with cutscenes, or gameplay. No, they figured you'd enjoy some commercials for the game's new Nanosuit instead.

Crytek Threatens To Leave Germany [Germany]
With titles like Far Cry and Crysis, developer Crytek is one of the biggest studios in Germany. That may change, though, because German interior ministers aim to outlaw the production of violent games. If this proposal passes, Crytek will be forced to leave its native Germany.

The Thinning Video Game Fall Of 2009 [Fall 2009]
There won't be a lack of games to play in late 2009 — not with Dragon Age, The Saboteur, The Ballad of Gay Tony, Splinter Cell, MAG, Ratchet & Clank, Left 4 Dead 2 and the August-slated Batman: Arkham Asylum showing up. The portables have some excitement with Scribblenauts and Zelda for D...

Kotaku's 2009 Summer Playing List [Kotaku Summer Playing List]

Homefront Trailer Is As Impressive As It Is Cheesy [Clips]
As for the gameplay, Homefront is a little like Crysis, with the player dropped into largeish areas (like a whole town) and then given a few objectives to complete. So, same game style as Crysis, same bad guys as Crysis...except it's written by John Milius. Sounds good to me.
Why Crysis 2 Is Console Bound [Crytek]
Yerli does add that Crytek decided not to release a console Crysis unless it could live up to the reputation of the previously released titles Crysis and Far Cry. This makes us slightly happy. Console Crysis was 'inevitable' [GameSpot via Cheat Already Blog]

New CryENGINE 3 Trailer, Screens [Gdc09]
This extended clip makes the whole thing look a lot like Crytek's last engine (the one Crysis ran on), doesn't it? That's because, superficially, it's very similar. Remember, this is an engine that can now run across PC, 360 and PS3, not just the PC, so it's not going to be some quantum leap be...

Crytek Putting On A Warface? [Crytek]
A second variation of that logo adds a "CE" in the Crytek logotype form, which may mean this is not a game (or at least a follow up to the console-exclusive Crysis: Warhead). Besides, why drop the fabulous "Cry" title worked into everything released so far?

Crysis Wars Trailer: Explosions
Crysis Warhead is coming with a little bundled extra: Crysis Wars, a new take on Crysis' multiplayer aspects. This trailer, made from in-game footage, shows that it's looking both nice and fast, but if they don't fix it so the Koreans don't take 1,736 bullets to kill, it'll all be for naught.

Their methodology states that they carved out only the publishing divisions if applicable. Konami, which as a large slot machine business in Japan, actually booked a total of US$2.8bn vs the US$1.8bn reported here. I would guess Capcom and Sega Sammy to be similar. This is pretty much how you w...
