Ubisoft's website lists James Cameron's Avatar as launching across all platforms -- Xbox 360, PS3, PC, DS, Wii, PSP, Wifi-enabled Toilets and Toasters that also cook hot dogs -- for December 1. As we're often skeptical with what we read on the Internet, we decided to find out if the listing was accurate. According to Ubisoft, the game will indeed launch in North America on December 1.
The date thrusts gamers into the Avatar universe more than two weeks before the film hits theaters on December 16. Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players -- with the proper set up -- will also be able to experience the game in 3D. Whether or not James Cameron will record what seems like an hours-long video introduction outlining every detail of the game and movie experience to accompany the launch is unclear.

It's about time Google TISP got some game support. I've been waiting for ages.

I think they only bottle it at the Copernicus center, for the PigeonRank employees.

I noticed that. It's kinda sad, but the PS2 is nine years old now.

The post right below is Ubisoft saying there's no room in the market for bad games. Then again, what I've played of it WAS pretty decent. I predict 7's, maybe 8's.

Hope it's fun. Wolverine got me into movie games after generally avoiding them, I hope this can be close to that quality.

i still don't know what this game is all about. Is it an FPS? An 3rth person Action game? Never really stoped and looked at it.

You should have checked out Ubisoft's 45 min snoozefest 'preview' at e3 then dmd... that was the catalyst for the huge anticipation of this title.
"How can we drum up some interest for this?"
"I know, let's get Mr. Cameron to talk about his film and how great it's going to be for ages, and then just show the same AC2 trailer at the end of the show we've already demo'd for the past month or two"

WAT? no mac support!?
Who'da thunk it!?
Although, back in the real world, bit strange that there isn't a jesusPhone version... I'm sure some "dev" will pick up the slack around release though and hash one out in a week or two. Alternatively, perhaps it is still in the App Store being vetted for approval by the 'Jobs'worths, wondering how it's merits can be compared alongside the next winning batch of 5,000 iSkidmark apps.

To all the haters...
Jim Cameron's motto is: "Set your goals ridiculously high. That way, if you fail, you at least fail higher than everyone else."
So, even if he falls short of his goals, he'll still kick everyone's ass.
That attitude, combined with his track record, plus the pure awesomeness of the 3.5 minute theatrical trailer tells me Avatar is going to be great.
