Hope it's not true

Well it just seemed to be a problem with the database and it's in stock now but no confirmation it's been sent yet.

Strange, it is showing as being in stock when you go into the buy the game page

Let us know what happens mate

I just got a nice suprise when I just found out that I have one my first GAD. I must admit I am well chuffed and would like to thank my family, manager, dog, agent .............

Back to the present. If you do get it and think it is OK I may just get this for my GAD

On a side note I got the GAD for a review of Fireblade. I thought this looked a bit pants when I saw it advertised but if you liked Desert strike or any of the other strike games then give it a go. I was looking for a copy of one of the strike games on ps1 but couldnt get any

Oh no. My order didn't come, so I checked the stock and I got this message.

Oh balls.

They did say that the AI in this game was the most realistic yet ;D

They probably want sly stallone to play the hero, and take on the germans on his own, by finding a secret hidden room that has guns and rocket launches in it.

Hmmmmm, I wonder why Sony America want changes to what everyone else is getting. Maybe they want it to seem like no one except America and Germany were in WWII like in most of their films.

Or maybe it could be that the game portrays Americans as egotistical, shallow, brash and arrogant. Hey I didn't realise the game was going to be this realistic!

Straight from Codies mouth...

"The release of the PS2 version in the US is on hold, whilst we try and reach agreement with Sony in the US, over some game features.
We face no such issues with Microsoft, so this does not affect the X-box release date (nor the PS2 game in the rest of the world)."

So there we have it. Not scrapped, just delayed until agreements. Obviously Codies aren't aloud to put it on their US site aswell. :D

Well, it's official!

I just had an e-mail from Codemasters, stating that "Codemasters' Prisoner of War launches this Friday" for PS2 and Xbox.

So I don't know what the US situation is, and I don't really care!

That said, I don't think I'll be getting it after having read the reviews.

I'm not too bothered - after reading loads of reviews on it, it doesan't sound as good as it promised to be.

Well, it seems to be true for the US.

I got an email from codies today advertising the game. It said coming Fri 19th July on PS2 and XBox. Rumours my son, rumours.
