“Crysis 2 Wallpapers” or “Maximum Screenshots” III

EDIT: Older screenshots here and here.

Crysis 2 is shaping up to look pretty damn impressive. Which really shouldn’t come as much of a shocker to anyone who played the first game. The storyline was intriguing, but not mind-bending, the gameplay was fresh, but the repetition rendered it a tedious chore. The one thing that always served as the saving grace for Crysis was how incredible the world looked, even on medium settings.

Crysis 2 was showcased at E3 2010 this week, and a new gameplay video was shared with the audience which is embedded further below. There are also some screenshots, you can click them to view the larger 1920×1080 high-resolution images.

They Said Whaaaat?: “Mass Marketing Ploy Effect” or “1000 Variables”

I’m a huge Mass Effect fan and will surely by the third installment. That doesn’t bar me from seeing through marketing ploys like this one.

- Commenter Richard S @ Joystiq, commenting on BioWare’s announcement that Mass Effect 3 will pull in over 1,000 variables from Mass Effect 2, if you load your saved game from the previous iteration.
