Crysis Sequel Announced, Still PC Only

EA and Crytek have announced a sequel to Crysis , one of the highest rated games of last year. Unfortunately, it seems that still only PC users will be able to celebrate the good news. "In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as 'Psycho', one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho's parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined. Luckily, Psycho's Nanosuit is just as capable and he's equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation. Aside from this new, exciting single player campaign, Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content."

People are way overreacting over the Crysis hardware needs. Sure, it's a demanding game hardware wise, but not ridiculously so. It ran smoothly (~30fps most of the time) with high settings at 1680x1050 on a one year old $1200 pc, and that was also more expensive that it needed to be (for games) because I got a quad core Q6600 instead of the E7200 as listed below. Otherwise it's quite similar in terms of performance.

Core2Duo E7200 2.53Ghz $135
GeForce 8800GT $180
2GB DDR2 Corsair ram $50
Asus P5K motherboard $130

Whoa, that's like $495!

The rest basically won't affect the performance so you can use whatever's lying around. But anyway:
Antec case with a 360W PSU : $80
WD 320gb HDD : $75.

+$155
As for the game itself, I really enjoyed most of it. Even the alien spaceship/base part was a pretty good change of paces, although it did drag on a little longer than I'd prefer. So I'm looking forward to this, and especially Far Cry 2.
