I am standing on the platform of the Rapid Shogo line, stretching flat and straight from the heart of Tokyo to the remote district of Kahimakuhari.

Crysis fans rejoice! The single-player demo for Crysis has been delayed until October 26th! …ok, so that isn’t what you should be rejoicing about. That actually sucks pretty bad. BUT, it was announced by Cevat Yerli, Crytek’s CEO, that the demo will include the CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor!

Excited for picking up your copy of Halo 3 at launch? Spent the extra money for the Collector or Legendary tin too, I bet. Well, the folks at NeoGAF have some bad news for you: by the time you get it open, the discs look like they’ll already be scratched. Perhaps you won’t even need […]
