Crysis 2 debuts new demo and multiplayer trailer

Add as a preferred source on Google

Do you want to fight in the ruined husk of New York City, while wearing a futuristic combat suit that helps you to hunt down some of your friends to annihilate them? Sure, who doesn’t, and with Crysis 2, you get to do exactly that.

There really doesn’t seem to be much reason to continue to hype this game—the anticipation is almost palpable as is. An early multiplayer demo on Xbox Live was available as an exclusive for gold members from January 25 through February 4, and 1.7 million people downloaded it. There were a few issues on the technical side, but that probably won’t stop most from not buying this title when it is released. But, anything worth doing is worth doing to the extreme, and so EA and developer Crytek have released a second multiplayer demo for the Xbox 360, and now PC gamers can get in on the action as well. No word on a PS3 demo before the release, but it is still a possibility.

A new special edition console from Microsoft isn't something new. Over the years, Xbox consoles have been a part of plenty of limited-edition collaborations, including a controller modeled after Deadpool's backside. But its latest creation just takes the cake.

Steam is drowning in new games, and Valve is dropping tougher restrictions
Steam has so many AI games to review that Valve is changing the rules
Steam website open on MacBook

Steam has apparently been struggling to keep up with new game submissions. Developers have been forced to wait longer to get their games approved, which has caused Valve to step in to fix things. The company is putting stricter release requirements in place, including one which is absolutely hilarious. Valve needs developers to play their games through Steam before submitting them for review.

In an official Steamworks announcement, Valve acknowledged that a significant increase in game and store page submissions has overwhelmed its review process. The company typically aims to complete game build reviews within three to five days. However, some are now taking up to 12 business days, with repeated reviews contributing heavily to the backlog.
