This New Trailer for Crysis 2 Has Me All Excited
Crysis 2 is a paltry two months away, less than that even, but if you find your impatience getting the better of you I suggest watching this rather sexy new trailer for the game. It’s also important to note the game’s demo is out now on the Xbox 360 so if you’re still on the fence about whether or not you like controlling a badass dude who curb stomps aliens you can see if it’s your cup ‘o tea.
The game’s due out on March 23 in The States and two days later for those across the pond and unlike its predecessor the game’s multiplatform so you can get your Crysis fix whether you own a PS3, 360 or PC. Head past the break for the minimum specs for playing it on the latter as well as that trailer I was talking about.
For my PC bretheren, here are the minimum specs this game will require of your computer:
– Internet connection required for activation
– OS: XP/Vista/Windows 7
– CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 x2 2Ghz or better
– 2 GB RAM
– HDD: 9 GB
– DVD ROM: 8x
– GPU: NVIDIA 8800 GT 512MB RAM, ATI 3850HD 512Mb RAM or better
– Keyboard, mouse, or Microsoft Xbox 360 controller for Windows
Can your computer handle that?
Sam Neill, the New Zealand actor best known for his role in 1993’s Jurassic Park, has passed away this week at 78 years old. In a statement shared on Neill’s Instagram page this morning, the actor’s family said that his passing was “sudden and unexpected.”
Neill had been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2022, but stated the following year that he was in remission. The family notes that he “remained cancer free” at the time of his passing.
The family statement reads, “It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia. Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life. The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free.
“They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”
In addition to his iconic role as Dr. Alan Grant in the original Jurassic Park and the sequels Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World: Dominion, Sam Neill left an indelible mark on the horror genre with memorable roles in Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession, The Omen: The Final Conflict, John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness, and sci-fi horror favorite Event Horizon.
Sam Neill’s vast resume in film and television began in the early 1970s and also includes the films Sleeping Dogs, Enigma, The Good Wife, A Cry in the Dark, Dead Calm, The Hunt for Red October, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Hostage, The Jungle Book, Snow White: A Tale of Terror, The Horse Whisperer, Bicentennial Man, Daybreakers, Escape Plan, and Thor: Ragnarok.
Sam Neill is survived by his four children and eight grandchildren.
Steven Spielberg said in a statement to Variety, “I owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Donaldson, Gilliam Armstrong, Graham Baker and Phillip Noyce for casting Sam Neill in the roles in which he was so brilliant that brought him to my attention and led to his playing Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. Sam was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to play a character who acted as though children were messy and smelly because this was the opposite of the loving father he was to his children. I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him.”
Spielberg adds, “Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world.”
