My prediction: Santa will have a lot of trouble fulfilling the Christmas wishlists of all the 20-something gamers in the world this year. My guess is about 80% of people who play and enjoy Crysis 2 will inevitably have fantasies and flights of fancy about owning and using the military-grade nanotech suit which Crysis 2's gameplay is built around exploiting. Which is actually a little ironic - the plot of Crysis 2 is ostensibly an Isaac Asimov-esque tale about the genuine logistical problems that a nanosuit driver would face when in contact for extended periods of time with symbiotic hardware. But I digress.
The plot of Crysis 2 is of an alien invasion, pretty much. After Prophet's team from the first Crysis - which remains one of my favourite games of all time - uncovered the alien artifacts under the Ling Shan islands, years pass, an eventually the aliens have come back to reclaim their planet. Given the nickname "Ceph," these aliens unleash a deadly virus upon mankind, rise up from beneath the earth's crust causing untold natural disasters and climate change issues, and basically wreck shit up.
