Take-Two's Q2 2008 financial results revealed its net revenue more than doubled compared to last year (from $205.4 million to $539.8 million), not surprisingly led by GTA IV which has sold 8.5 million copies so far. Bad news for X360 owners as the platform exclusive content updates are getting pushed until Q1 2009 (between Nov 1, 2008 and Jan. 31, 2009), "in order to provide a better balance in Take-Two's release schedule." Bioshock, which so far has sold 2.2 million copies, will become a trilogy as Take Two CEO Zelnick hints at a 3rd title in the franchise to coincide with the,
previously rumored, but now confirmed movie.

Earlier this week Crytek announced that it would no longer be working on the
previously scheduled v1.3 patch for Crysis, but said that the decision was made for "a good reason" and that it would give an explanation in the near future. That same day Crytek registered Crysis Warhead, fueling speculation that an addon was in the works, and a
teaser website launched earlier today seems to confirm that. While there are no details given, the blank website features a picture of Psycho, one of the game's characters, but with the CryEngine 2 being
ported to console, maybe the new addon will be bundled with the original on the PS3/X360.
