Crysis demo on 25th Sept

Promising "huge surprise".

Halo 3 will be dominating the headlines in late September, but PC gamers needn't sulk, because Crytek says that it will release a Crysis demo on 25th September.

The demo will consist of the entire first level of the single-player game. Called "Contact", it will give you a taste of the fancy graphics, fancy Nanosuit gameplay and fancy open-ended level design that make the game - for want of a better word - fancy.

What's more, Crytek says the demo is "poised to include a huge surprise from Crytek". Perhaps they're going to correct the typo in the name.

Of course, you can't have too much Crysis - or at least that seems to be the editorial policy this month. Did you enjoy our Crysis studio tour, Cevat Yerli interview and exclusive gameplay movies? We do hope so. By the way, it's your go on Scrabulous.
