Crysis 2 Is Announced, Multi-Platform!

Crysis, the gorgeous sci-fi shooter from German developer Crytek Frankfurt, is a PC game. So is its sequel, Crysis 2 — that, and an Xbox 360 and a PS3 game.

The game is the second entry in the planned Crysis triology and will be published by EA. "The development of Crysis 2 marks a major stepping stone for our studio," said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. "This is not only the next game in the Crysis franchise, it's the first title we are developing for consoles and the first title being built on CryENGINE 3."

No word on a release date.

Ager Sanguinis available as free download

It has been 6 months since Ager Sanguinis (rules for the Early Crusadea) was published in Miniature Wargames. They are based on Piquet's Field of Battle rules by Brent Oman (who kindly gave his permission for their publication). I think that Andrew has probably sold as many back issues of it as he is going to. Consequently, and as promised, it is now available as a free download. I'm afraid you will have to join one of these two groups to get it. You will find it in the files section under the title, not surprisingly, AGER SANGUINIS.

I hope you like it. If you do you, you might want to contact Andrew at Miniature Wargames for a glossy copy. The version in the Jan 09 edition is a 12 page (24 side) centrefold pull out supplement with frontispage, nicely fonted and coloured card stock and is illustrated with photos throughout. It is also advertisement free.
