Spore Release Date Announced: 9/07/2008Posted 1:37pm Tue Feb 12, 2008 by Aaron Dunlap Tags: Spore, Maxis, EA, Will Wright, release date, PC, Mac, Nintendo DS

After something like a 42-year development cycle and 100 gameplay presentations from Will Wright, Spore finally has a release date.

Via a very brief teaser video posted on the Spore website, EA has announced a confirmed release date of September 7th, 2008 for the PC, Mac, and Nintendo DS.

"The wait is almost over," Chief Designer Will Wright said in a press release. "We're in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can't wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year."

The seven months until release gives plenty of time for conservative, religious, and parents groups to get up in arms about the "pro-evolution" content of the game.

Resident Evil 5 Due in 2008... most likelyPosted 1:07pm Mon Feb 11, 2008 by Shiva Stella Tags: Capcom, Resident Evil 5, interview, Chris Kramer, release date, rumor

Here's a little something interesting for Resident Evil fans this morning. According to the latest podcast featuring Chris Kramer, Senior Director of Communication and Community for Capcom (I imagine that he handles the hate mail and forums), over at Major Nelson's place, it's highly possible that Resident Evil 5 will see release this year.

And I quote:

We have a really fantastic year ahead of us... a year that's going to include games like Bionic Commando, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV is going to be making its arcade debut next week in Japan. We've got a new game that we're working on in the US called Dark Void...

If you'd rather skip the radio-like melodrama you'll find the above comment at the 30.00 mark.

Square Enix Announces... its Intention to Announce FFXIII DatePosted 6:58pm Wed Jan 30, 2008 by Shiva Stella Tags: Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix, release date

Here's a little unusual Final Fantasy XIII news for the evening, as Square Enix has made an announcement regarding the FFXIII release date "rumors" that have been circulating the Web. Below is SE's official statement regarding the FFXIII launch date:

Although information regarding the release date of FINAL FANTASY XIII has been reported by certain videogame websites, Square Enix itself has yet to make an official statement on this topic. Any reports of a confirmed release date are erroneous and should be disregarded.

Square Enix will make an official announcement in the future concerning the release date when it has been determined.

In other words, the company is not yet ready to confirm or deny any suspected date. As usual, we'll keep you posted.

Trauma Center: New Blood Ships Today Posted 2:40pm Tue Nov 20, 2007 by Eric Jonathan Smith Tags: Trauma Center New Blood, Atlus, Wii, release

More St. Elsewhere than Scrubs (with a touch of the X-Files thrown in), Atlus's Wii surgical simulation series gets a shot to the arm today as Trauma Center: New Blood ships to stores.

The first original title in the series since 2005's Trauma Center: Under the Knife (of which last year's Trauma Center: Second Opinion was a remake), New Blood focuses on two new doctors named Valerie Blaylock and Markus Vaughn, for good reason - the game adds in co-op gameplay, a substantial new feature it offers over its predecessors.

Instead of taking turns cutting a poor patient's heart to pieces, you and a friend can now do it together! Trauma Center: New Blood should be available widely in stores tomorrow.
