Blizzard has become infamous for holding back the release of a game until it's "done," so this news should come as no surprise, even if it is a disappointment. Earlier today, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, Mike Morhaime, announced that the company would not be meeting its end-of-the-year goal for Diablo III. Morhaime said that he expects Diablo III to be finished sometime in early 2012. The upside of this news is that the beta phase will be extended. The downside is obvious...

brightcove.createExperiences(null, 'video_1176436503001'); Focus Home Interactive has released a new trailer for A Game of Thrones: Genesis in honor of Peter Dinklage's recent Emmy win for his role as Tyrion in HBO's Game of Throne TV series.

We’re careening at breakneck speed through downtown San Francisco, and things are getting a bit hairy. At the moment, we’re in the driver’s seat of a ZR1 Corvette, in hot pursuit of a criminal on the loose. Traffic is heavy and pedestrians are everywhere, which makes this high-speed chase pretty complicated. Despite our best efforts to weave through oncoming vehicles at 105 mph, we smash headfirst into a fire truck, sending glass and metal flying across the boulevard. Normally, our hopes would be dashed, and we’d simply hit the “reset” button and give it another go. Instead, though, we shift immediately into a Google Earth-style view of the entire Bay Area, spotting our prey moving on the map. The press of a button zips out of our mangled wreck and into an eighteen wheeler about 250 feet in front of our target. Quickly steering hard right, a massive barrier now blocks most of the street in front of our enemy. In another instant, we teleport out of the rig into a sweet Audi S5 Coupe trailing our baffled combatant, and crash into him a moment after he hits the truck head-on. Bad guy vanquished, mission accomplished...

Crytek said that Crysis was too “advanced” to run on consoles when it came out in 2007. Now, four short years later, the state of the industry has changed, and getting Crysis to run on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is more important than it was when the PC exclusive FPS launched to rave reviews. Even after EA and Crytek made the announcement we were still skeptical as to how it would work, but after getting hands-on with the game we’re happy with the result, even if some hefty concessions had to be made...
