Key PS3 titles to miss launch

European woes mount
Tue Mar 20 2007, 11:21
THE EUROPEAN LAUNCH of the Playstation 3 has been marred by many set backs, including a considerable four-month delay over the arrival of US and Japanese systems.

Now it seems European punters expecting a plethora of high quality games will have to wait even further, as the launch will incur a considerable dirth of titles from the likes of Ubisoft and Vivendi Games.

Ubisoft's Splinter Cell: Double Agent is due a week after launch, while Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion won't be released until April 27.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, currently at number two in the charts, has been put on hold until June, while a spring date has been mooted for the PS3's rendition of Rainbow Six: Vegas.

All of these titles are currently available for Microsoft's Xbox 360 console.

Ubisoft is left with only Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII and Enchanted Arms for the launch day of Sony's Playstation 3.

Vivendi Games has also put back the release of the Playstation 3 version of F.E.A.R. - the title will not arrive for European PS3s until April 20.

The PS3 is launched at the end of the week in Europe on the Friday 23rd of March at a price of £425.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
