IGN is reporting that Crysis has gone gold, expected date out is November 16th.”
Short and sweet. Don’t forget to pick up the demo if you haven’t already. Don’t forget you need shares in NASA, nVidia, Intel as well as a small part of the International Space Station to actually be able to run this one.
Kotaku is reporting that Midway is struggling with the PS3 version of their soon to be released Alien/Sci-fi shooter, Blacksite: Area 51. The reported problems are apparently similar to what was seen on the PS3 version of Stranglehold.
“The PS3 version is experiencing issues and missed deadlines…Midway isn’t happy at all about the progress, and it’s a story I’ve heard over and over this year across the industry when it comes to the PS3 and cross-platform titles.”
Some are saying that the common factor here could in fact be the PS3 version of the Unreal Engine 3, but somehow I’m not so sure, I’m certain that many of you read what Gabe Newel(Half-Life 2) had to say about the PS3 in general. I can tell you one more thing, he’s not the only one bad-mouthing the PS3 at this stage, maybe based on his size he speaks a little more freely, but hey.
I just hope these sort of problems eventually get ironed out, the PS3 is an expensive console, and I’d hate to think that Sony dropped it’s prices just so that you don’t feel so bad about buying a sort of okay game.
Good news to all you Sims (or just Spore) fans, according to Will Wright – the highly acclaimed creator of the Sims games, Spore should be ready to hit the retail shelves in about 6 months.
“Spore’s an ambitious game - which he admits - that’s essentially a life sim. Players start off as a single-cell organism and then create their species at every stage of its evolution - from its first steps on land through to tribes then a culture and then finally it’s off to explore the galaxy. ‘We’ve had to do a lot of testing to make sure that the game is accessible by a wide group of people’, Wright went on to explain. ‘I want the people who have played The Sims to be able to play Spore - I don’t want it to be something just hardcore gamers play.’”
If any of you out there have any sense at all you’ll keep this one away from your girlfriends/wives/daughters ‘cos if the Sims franchise is anything to go by, EA… need I say more!? – For the record I didn’t say that.
Anyways, keep your eyes and ears pealed for this one, click here for some screens and follow on for some footage.

It was a great game on the 360, now with the detail upped thanks to dx10 and all the extra content the guys over at Epic have thrown in, it should be even better. Possibly even worth getting, even if one played it to death on the 360 already.
