Mass Effect for PC Delayed

Mass Effect PC

Mass Effect has already been available to Xbox 360 owners for quite some time now, so I’m sure all of you PC gamers are ready to get your hands on this great game already. Sadly, the release date of May 6th is no more. You’ll have to wait a couple more weeks. Chris Priestly, Community Coordinator of the Bioware forums has made this statement.

I have just confirmed with the development team that we are making a small change to the release date of Mass Effect for the PC. We had previously announced May 6, 2008 for North America. The new release date for North America is May 28, 2008 and June 6, 2008 in Europe.

So that sucks, but a couple of weeks will fly by in a snap, and the game will be a little more polished because of it. I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait.

Red Faction: Guerilla Officially Announced

Red Faction

Due to a conference call that was held recently, everyone already knew that THQ was creating a third installment in the Red Faction series, but THQ has made it official. They’ve announced today that they are developing Red Faction: Guerilla and they’re changing this one up a bit.

For one, this game will be a third person shooter. It’ll no longer be in the first person perspective that you’ve grown used to. It’ll also have a full cover system that will allow for guerilla style tactics. Hence the name I guess. I’ve always love Red Faction, but I really don’t know how I feel about the perspective change. I love those destructive environments though. You can expect to pick it up for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sometime in THQ’s fiscal 2009 year, so at least before March 31, 2009.
