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.

Another Update for Wii OwnersAugust 10th, 2007humansockpuppet |
This morning Nintendo Wii owners were treated to another update - although this time, instead of more firmware upgrades, it is a tantalizing two-video preview of the upcoming Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, along with a promise of more videos to come on August 13, 2007.
The videos are definitely worth a watch if you’re a Wii owner, and this is also a good indication of things to come. Nintendo could realistically use this as a means of presenting more new and exciting trailers and updates for other games via their online service, similar to how Xbox Live has served the Microsoft community.
The video downloads are available for free in the Wii Shopping Channel under Wii-Ware.
