It's a name that strikes fear in the hearts of gamers everywhere: Crysis. Add the inevitable 2 at the end of it, and you have a nerd version of an aphrodisiac. Recently, a torrent of the Crysis 2 beta was reportedly leaked by a warez website; gamers immediately swooped in on the download and posted screenshots everywhere. We've taken some of the best looking ones and reposted them here.
There's been a lot of talk about Crysis lately, and certainly it serves more as a benchmarking utility than as a game at this point, but we wonder whether or not the sequel will serve similar purposes. CryEngine 3 has been out and about for a while now, and with Crysis 2 rapidly approaching, it won't be long before gamers are once again saying: "uhh, nice $484 budget PC build, but will it run Crysis 2?"
