On yesterday's Activision pre-E3 conference call, Blizzard's Mike
Morhaime made his token appearance as the guy from the company who
makes all of the money. During the call he revealed that plans were
on-track for Starcraft II to be released in 2009. He then went on to comment that this is still subject to change, which could be taken to mean that Starcraft II might be delayed until 2010.
Jesus,
why bother? Either announce that you're working on the game and it'll
be done when it's done (which is what Blizzard always really means
anyway) or just give us a realistic date. If that's 2012, fine, but

your erection with no hole for years.
With Crytek constantly touting the power of CryEngine 3,
specifically how well it looks and runs on home consoles, it should
come as no surprise that Crysis 2 is coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, as well as PC.

The fans have spoken, and Epic has listened. The previously announced "Dark Corners" add-on for Gears of War 2 is going to be cheaper than we thought. Originally, the downloadable content was priced at $20, but IGN has since reported that isn't the case any more.
Instead,
"Dark Corners" will be only $15 at launch on July 28, because people
like you and me complained. Considering the amount of content the DLC
brings -- one new campaign chapter and seven new multiplayer maps --
I'd say it's justifiable for the average Gears ... Read more »
Much to no one’s surprise, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games will be releasing LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 in 2010.
The
title is pretty much what you’ve expect, putting players in control of
LEGO versions of Hogwart’s usual suspects – Harry Potter, Ron Weasley,
Hermione Granger, along with other characters from the first four
books. The action-adventure will allow you to do exciting things like
cast spells, mix potions, fly on broomsticks and… attend lessons. That
last one sound less exciting, but Harry Potter fans shouldn’t
complain too much, as it’ll give them a chance to explore cutesy
versions of seeing like Hogwarts castle, Diagon Alley, and more.
No
