Quantum Theory no longer exclusive, PS3's heart is broken over "open relationship"

More On: Quantum Theory
It doesn't appear to having anything to do with Schrödinger's cat.  It also doesn't like an exclusive relationship and is now openly cheating on the PS3 with the 360.  Quantum Theory, the video game, has decided it can't be bound by just one console and is now coming to the Xbox 360, too.

Previously a PS3 exclusive title, Quantum Theory is a third person shooter set in a world destroyed by war.  A new human community has been threatened by a black material called Erosion that is creating a post-apocalyptic environment.  In comes Syd, a warrior, whose sole purpose is to stop the Erosion and destroy the evil behind it that has taken root in the "Living Tower."

Boasting a shape-shifting battlefield, four multi-player modes, and an art nouveau environment, the game looks awesome.  Check out the assets below and look for the game to hit both the 360 & PS3 in spring of next year.
