Crysis Demo Leaked!!!

crysish

First, we get word that Konami’s Silent Hill Origins gets leaked. Now, we  get word that EA’s Crysis Demo just got the good ol’ leakage treatment. Luckily, for EA, Crysis leakage is truly just a demo. Not much harm can come of it besides more hype and thirst for the game…hmmm, come to think of it, is this a marketing ploy or what?! In either case, sad day for Konami and maaaaaybe a sad day for EA….
