I’ve often thought about ploppin’ down a big sum of cash to build myself a new gaming rig, and each time I do, the game I want to play is Crysis. Luckily for my wallet, it is now going to make an appearance on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 with Crysis 2. However, there is a reason a great gaming computer costs so much these days: it can do some incredible things. In the above video, you can see a comparison of the CryEngine 3 on a PC, and then on a console.

Finally, a batch of demos worth playing is on Xbox LIVE. By that I mean…not sports games! First off, before we get any further, let me just say Castle Crashers is a must play.

However, I do hope they keep adding things like this to the game simply to make you want to play it more. For example, the ranks of Call of Duty 4 is what keeps drawing people in. If TF2 had something like this I don’t think I could ever put the game down.
