After a brief and mysterious trailer last year, Crytek's Codename: Kingdoms title finally has got some actual gameplay footage, as well as a proper name.

Ryse will be a First-Person beat'em up set in Rome, that lets you swing your limbs to fight combatants, though according to a post-conference interview, Microsoft is still under discussion as to whether you can use the controller as well as the Kinect to fight; from the brief footage shown it seems to be a bloody experience with a similar feel to Spartacus and Gladiator.

Screens and trailer soon.
