CryEngine 2 console visuals 'like high settings on...
360 News | Xbox 360

It's a well-known fact that Crytek is porting its CryEngine 2 tech that powered Crysis to console, but it's yet to confirm whether it's working on PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the PC FPS.

Microsoft DOES have a sense of humour!
360 News | Xbox 360
360 - Xbox 360 - Microsoft DOES have a sense of humour! So far we've managed to ignore the tsunami of April Fool's jokes that's rampaged across the internet (we think), but Microsoft's put too much effort into its own Xbox.com tomfoolery to be ignored. The Xbox 360 Wireless Helmet, Xbox Live: The Board Game and Xbox 360: Vintage Edition are among the spoof products on the newly updated official site, as well as slimmed down 'Recon Edition' which looks straight out of Tom Clancy. Second party dev Rare ...
