Crysis 2 is shaping up well. The CryEngine 3 is up and running on consoles, and looking unbelievable. The location shift to New York is already promising a more focused, more immediate spin on the original game’s freeform tactical combat.

The original Crysis is of course best known for bringing PCs to their circuit-laced knees with its unheard-of graphical possibilities. It’s possibly still the best-looking game ever made, and it came out over three years ago.
