Crysis Arrives for Consoles on October 4

$20 gives you the opportunity to see where Crysis began.

When Crysis was released, if you didn't have a massive PC rig, you were simply out of luck.

Crytek's Crysis was once the game to show off your PC rig, years before the studio added consoles into its playbook. As a result, console owners never had a chance to see what all the fuss was about, relegated to watching YouTube videos.

That changes next week, with an updated version of the original Crysis coming on October 4 to both Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network next week for $20 (1600 Microsoft Points). This version includes tweaked lighting, support for 3D and other enhancements meant to keep the game looking current.

It'll be interesting to see how Crysis holds up. Maybe some PC owners can drop in some thoughts?
