Splinter Cell: Conviction Delayed

Leigh Alexander — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:20:00 EDT

When Ubisoft didn't show Splinter Cell: Conviction at its last event, people worried a little about how the game might be doing. Fear not — the game's doing great. So great, they say, that Ubisoft just decided it'd be better off releasing it as part of its "2009-2010" lineup instead of in this year's fiscal fourth quarter. You know, to "bolster" next year, as the company said in its fiscal first quarter results statement. More »

Mass Effect PC Delayed To Late May

Mark Wilson — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:40:00 EDT

Bioware—along with development partner Demiurge Studios—has decided to delay the launch of Mass Effect for the PC. It's been pushed back to a May 28th release date in the US, and a June 6th release date in Europe. The delay will allow the development team to "incorporate more play-testing feedback, add extra polish and tune the additional features." But fret not, PC gamers. I've already saved the Universe on my Xbox 360. It was a bit jittery at times, but due to my quick actions, peaceful, intelligent life will continue to thrive. Take your time, Bioware. I can guard this shuttle craft all freakin' day. More »

Gizmondo Delayed Yet Again

Mike Fahey — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:30:15 EST

Time to party like it's 2005! Former Gizmondo chairman Carl Freer must be experiencing some pretty hardcore déjà vu as he reluctantly tells Swedish news site Realtid.se that the little handheld that most definitely didn't would be pushed back to late 2008, missing the originally promised May relaunch date. My sentiments right now neatly echo Ashcraft's from back in October of 2005 - the umpteenth time the Gizmondo was delayed in the State. Who gives a rat's ass? The only way I will ever own a Gizmondo is if they shipped me a free one, and even then it better damn well not say Gizmondo on the box or I'll refuse delivery. More »

Super Dodgeball Brawlers Re-Dated

Mark Wilson — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:20:01 EST

Bad news, friends. The highly anticipated (by me) DS reimagination of the NES classic Super Dodgeball has been delayed in Japan. The good news is that we hadn't marked our calendars and it's coming out soonish anyway on March 19th. Are any digital dodgeball fans going to brave the import? I might. But then again, if there's another level like Kenya I might just say fuck it altogether...I'm getting too old for levels without power-ups. More »

Geometry Wars: Galaxies Still On Target For NA

Mike Fahey — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 10:40:34 EST

Yesterday we reported that Sierra's Geometry Wars: Galaxies for the Nintendo DS and Wii had been pushed back to January 18th, 2008, and to a certain extent it was true - but only for Europe. Galaxies is still on track for the Wii release on the 20th and the DS release a week later in North America according to Sierra, who dropped us a line last night to clear things up. We report on global gaming events, and sometimes the global part gets us a little dizzy. Have you seen that thing spin? Mesmerizing I tell you. So in summary, North American gamers be happy, European gamers continue lamenting. We'll keep you updated should your emotional state need to change any further. More »

N-Gage Service Delayed

Mike Fahey — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 11:40:51 EDT

Look, I know you were all sitting in front of your PC with cellphones gripped in your white-knuckled fists, refreshing the N-Gage website over and over again as you anxiously awaited the next step in mobile gaming, but you're all just going to have to wait a little bit longer. Nokia has delayed the release of their N-Gage platform client, citing problems with software development holding up the software for a few weeks. Despite the setback, Nokia is confident that the website for the service will be going live by the end of the year, delivering premium mobile gaming from the likes of EA, Capcom, and Vivendi to all the good little boys and girls with compatible cellphones (read: not me.) I am actually hoping the service proves successful, so we can finally stop having the urge to look for pictures of tacos in Google whenever we write an N-Gage story. More »
