High CPU requirement probably means a "console port". Almost everything nowadays is a "console port". Explain thoroughly what is a console port.

Your first sample statement is a misnomer. "Console port" is a phrase used to distinguish between a game whose code is written for the more powerful components of a gaming PC rather than the lesser components of a gaming console. Usually that is used as a derogatory comment meaning the game is ported over from a console version using lower quality graphics than could be obtained if it was written strictly for the PC.
