Anyways, this game was one of the first Gamecube games I heard about when the Gamecube was announce years ago. It was a kind of first person shooter affair where you had to steal paintings n stuff.
What ever happened to it?

Get in, get out and don't get caught. That's your mission if you dare to play Picassio.
You're hired by a billionaire who wants you to steal priceless works of arts. You'll be up against other cat burglars who will stop at nothing to get the masterpieces and impress their own bosses.
To complete your mission, you must use all sorts of cool gadgets such as night vision goggles, mini cameras and other toys to get past the hi tech alarm systems and nick the booty.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO:
SAFFIRE
We send out a search party for a game that's lost in space.
Back in June 2000, we brought you the first shots of Saffire, a game designed for what was then known as the Dolphin. At last we had proof of a proper game for the mysterious successor to the Nintendo 64. This GameCube title looked like a first person shooter in the mould of TWINE, and it's fair to say that we were pretty excited. And then nothing, no fresh information, no new shots. Time to investigate...
[Screenshot of man in black suit and balaclava pointing a sniper rifle at the screen. At the top it says 'TEAM 3 Red Sniper' in red, and in the bottom left hand corner there's a picture of a red sniper rifle]
Is it still in development?
[Screenshot of another stealthily clad man walking down a train. A man in front appears to be a target. At the top it says 'TEAM 2 Gold Leader' in yellow, and in the bottom left corner there's a picture of a yellow rifle]
Will it ever be released?
We contacted the developer who confirmed that the game has been scrapped, due to financial reasons.
