Dead or Alive 4 delayed in Japan Another setback today for the ever-looming Xbox 360 launch in Japan on December 10th, with the news that Dead or Alive 4, one of the system's key home grown launch titles, has been delayed by a week and will no longer be available on day one. Hardly a major blow, a week is only a week, but nonetheless an irritation for Redmond who have already witnessed several key delays in this region so crucial to the console's success. Around the December 17th mark it is, then, with IGN revealing that the title is now 95% ready to go and is being polished by Tecmo. Whilst the Xbox 360 launches in Europe on Friday (with severe stock shortages already forecast), Dead or Alive 4 won't be ready for the continent until January. The Japanese day one line-up now consists of: Ridge Racer 6, Every Party, Perfect Dark Zero, FIFA 06, Tetris Grandmaster and Need for Speed Most Wanted. That is exactly what Medal of Honor: Airborne players will have to parachute into when they boot up their respective game discs (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, or PS2, as well as the Wii, but no specific media available for Nintendo's console yet).

The official kickoff, dubbed Emergence Day, is Sunday when all major retailers should have "Gears of War" in stock. The game, rated M for Mature, is billed as a third-person tactical action-horror game. "Gears of War" covers 36 hours in the life of Marcus Fenix, a war hero with a past, as he and a few squadmates battle the alien Locust Horde that has burst through the surface of planet Sera. The game is a sight to see, with Epic conjuring up dark images of a world ravaged by war. Fenix and the other soldiers are battle-scarred veterans with oversized armour and guns. The Locust come in all sizes and shapes, dealing in death in a variety of nasty ways.

FOLLOWERS OF THE 2004 vice presidential campaign will no doubt recall John Edwards's stump speech tributes to his modest upbringing. As a boy, he moved from house to house. His father was a mill worker who was eventually promoted to supervisor; their homes were small places on dirt roads, or in housing projects. By the time the family of five settled in Robbins, N.C., when Edwards was 12, the foundation for his populist worldview, and his new book, had been laid. "Probably because we moved around so much, for me home is more about all the things that turn a house into a home than it is the house itself," he writes in "Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives" (Collins), a new anthology of essays he recently assembled and edited. Edwards believes that our experience of home is a "blueprint" that helps "to define how we see ourselves and how we choose to make our way in the world." To put that idea to the test, he solicited reminiscences from more than 1,000 people; the 57 chosen for the book form an eclectic group of movie stars, schoolteachers, politicians -- you name it. RoboBlitz explodes onto the scene Naked Sky Entertainment, an independent game development studio specializing in physics driven games for the PC and next-gen consoles, launched the worldwide PC version of RoboBlitz, the first Unreal Engine 3 PC game to market.RoboBlitz is a humorous single-player action, platformer full of inventive gizmos, weapons and characters. Players take on the role of Blitz, a multi-talented robot who must activate an aging space cannon to save his world from a band of maladjusted space pirates. Set in seven distinct environments, RoboBlitz features 19 levels of puzzle-solving and high-intensity action. The unique, physics-driven gameplay in RoboBlitz empowers players to use creative solutions in a world rife with emergent behaviors. "In the past, games have been limited to hand-animation driven gameplay where the players' actions are bound by the designer's own imagination. With physics, the only limitations are rules based on the game world," said Joshua Glazer, Chief Technology Officer, Naked Sky Entertainment, Inc. "In our game, almost every puzzle can be solved in multiple ways. If the player comes up with a solution for which we didn't plan, it will still work because everything is driven by physics." To support the modding community, the PC release will include the same custom build of the Unreal Engine 3 Editor that the Naked Sky team uses in-house. RoboBlitz will be available in 8 languages: English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. RoboBlitz is rated E10+ (Everyone Ages 10+) by the ESRB.At launch, the game will be available for download through the RoboBlitz website www.roboblitz.com, Valve's Steam platform at www.steamgames.com, www.LiquidGeneration.com and www.DISCoverMyGames.com for $14.99. A free three-level trial version of RoboBlitz will also be available.The Xbox 360 version of RoboBlitz will launch later this year on the Xbox Live Arcade.
