Does anyone know what happened to the much anticipated game GALLEON, produeced by the guy that created Lara Croft. Has it been released and I missed it? Has it been canned? Or is it still in production (God help us)!

It was on the original demo disc for the Cube in May 2002 so surely its finished by now!

Anyone out there with any info?

A few examples of average games I've not played:

95% of all beat em ups
80% of all racers
95% of all platform games
95% of all adventure games
95% of all sonic games

What would I call an average game? One that wouldn't warrant my attention beyond a days play.

I don't need to have played a Tomb-raider like game to know I will not like it and that I will find it average at best.

One glance at Galleon and I can tell it is not the game for me:

1. It's not Zelda
2. It's by the guy who made the pilr of crap that was Tomb Raider
3. I hate 99% of platform adventures
4. It has no muliplayer and even if it did have some it would hardly be any good judging by the nature of the game.

Calling it 'average' was actually me being nice.

The game looks like it'd make a good doorstop and I have no doubt that this is not worthy of my games collection.

I won't be playing it, I know I won't like it: it will be average at best.

Don't like it? You can shove your sarcastic quips where the sun don't shine.

Average games that we seem to know are average despite not playing it yet...

It was meant to be out 26th September, but now it's been pushed back to NOV/DEC 2003. It's been in development for yonks, and just think if it's still crap the magazine's will slate it terribly!!!! I don't know where ever to laugh or cry. :( It's sadly not on my Xmas list.... Looks OK though.
