Console gamers can find out what we've been missing out on all this time.
Reportedly, to play Crysis 2 on the PC, you would have to spend thousands on a graphics card composed of subatomic particles captured in the Large Hadron Collider. Anything less would require one hand on WASD and another pointing a fire extinguisher directly at your GPU. Problem is, we never heard about why this game might actually be worth playing besides eyeball-blasting gorgeousness. Maybe a mention or two about the alien invasion story that is actually engaging, or the body armor that spices up the standard FPS routine would have caused more demand to port the thing to consoles. Console gamers rejoice, Crysis 2 is now available on the box under your TV, and all of us with Dell assembled econo-computers can finally give the game a try. It’s a good thing too, because all shooter fans should dive in and experience this beautiful and well-made game.

Attack of the poorly made clones!
The Sony PlayStation Vita hasn’t even been released in its home country of Japan, yet it already has clones popping up in China.

The device is powered by Android and sports a 5-inch touchscreen display with a 800 x 480 resolution (which differs greatly from the Vita’s 5-inch OLED 960 x 544 display), a single analog nub, front and back cameras and is notably missing some version of the Vita’s rear touch panel.
