During the E3 Microsoft keynote, Microsoft made some news by announcing that Crytek, the folks behind such great shooters as Crysis and Far Cry, will be creating an exclusive game for the Xbox 360, which at this point, is codenamed “Kingdoms.” The game features several “300-style” soldiers and looks to be set in that classical/ancient sort of Roman/Greek time period. Unfortunately, we didn’t learn what sort of game it would be.
