maybe they shouldn't have spent all that time making spoofs of the office.

Dang... seems like a lot of games are piling into Holiday 2008.
Here's hoping all these delays pay off and we have a holiday that will rival 2007's!

You really think one could rival 2007 Dustin?
I mean, with the release of COD4, Halo 3, Mass Effect for examples of really high profile releases, it seems almost impossible to re-create the awesomeness that was 2007's holiday game rush!
Now, don't get me wrong, i'd love it to rival '07 again. Though it just seems the likely hood to do so is minimal.

You both act excited. My wallet completely disagrees with the both of you. Holiday 07 was a killer on the bank account.
I mean, I want the games. I want them to release, but maybe more periodically than all at once, save myself some stress over spending too much on games. Plus with the recession...ugghh..oh well. Bring it on, my Best Buy credit card needs to be used more often.

Sigh... remember when we assumed delays was just so games wouldn't have to compete with Halo 3?

From now on, it will be news when a game is not delayed, and releases on it's promised date.

I think Pandemic is just trying to secure the right to have Duke Nukem as an unlockable character.

Lol.
Totally funny. Would be such an odd addition to the game. But I wouldn't mind something like that.
Now if only Megaman was unlockable....

That would actually be cool, much as it would never happen.

I think the heavyweights are all juxtapositioning [gawd,that's a mouthful] around THE BIGGIE-namely GTA 4 for a release slot so as not to tip the buggy. Kinda like everybody cleared the chute for HALO 3 a while ago-a second resurgence, maybe? Kinda lookin that way.

Is it just me or is this franchise in danger of becoming irrelevant? The first was a surprise hit, but only because it came from Lucusarts, a very mid-range publisher. Pandemic was great about getting games out last generation, why has this generation become such a problem?

In my gut, I know you're a total moron. It's not the PS3 that caused the delay. It's been finished, but they've been "polishing" the game, and trying to get the new additions to work on the xbox 360. It's Pandemic's fault. Not the PS3.
