That's right, Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Nintendo Wii has been pushed back again.
March 9, 2008 is the new release date for Super Smash Brothers Brawl. [American Release]
This game is so amped up, it seems as if everytime we get near the release date, it's pushed back again. The Japanese release date is also pushed back. [January 31, 2008]
Sakurai, the "head" of Super Smash Brothers, has this to say "Due to delays in the completion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, weve had to change the release date of the game to Sunday, March 9th.
I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer. Thank you for your patience."

Guitar Hero 4 and Call Of Duty 5 have both been confirmed.
Oh, Blizzard and Activision are merging too
In a conference call with investors earlier today, Vivendi CEO Jean-Bernard Levy fleshed out more specifics on the $19 billion deal that will join Activision and Blizzard into one of the largest third-party publishers in the world. While analysts reacted favorably to the nitty-gritty financial details, what most gamers are primarily interested in is the future of the two publisher's popular franchises.
For Activision's stable of franchises, at least, the future looks pretty much as expected. In an industry note parsing out the benefits of the merger, Activision Blizzard unsurprisingly revealed the Guitar Hero and Call of Duty franchises would each receive new installments. Aside from being confirmed as Guitar Hero IV and Call of Duty 5, no other details on the games emerged.
The two franchises have been a boon in recent months for Activision. After tallying $115 million in first week sales, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock went on to be the best-selling cross-platform game for the month of October. Likewise, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has enjoyed both critical and commercial success, contributing to Activision's premerger upward revision of its 2008 fiscal outlook.
Activision Blizzard also reaffirmed that a game featuring the James Bond license was in development, Bizarre Creations was still at work on a racing title, and new Tony Hawk, Marvel, and DreamWorks titles were on the horizon.
The above article was "Pilfered" from Gamespot.
Lightning thinks: It won't make all that much difference, things will continue to run as they have and we'll still see some AAA titles coming our way.

Though company is back in black overall, SCEI posts $841 million operating loss thanks to aggressive PS3 hardware pricing, declining PS2 sales.
It was the best of times and the worst of times for Sony during its second fiscal quarter. The three months ending September 30 saw the electronics giant back in the black with an operating profit of 90.5 billion ($787 million), up from a ť20.8 billion ($180 million) operating loss the year before and over analysts' expectations. Overall Q2 revenue increased from 1.85 trillion ($1.6 billion) to ť2.08 trillion ($1.8 billion), courtesy of surging sales of Bravia HDTVs, VAIO PCs, and digital cameras. Profits were also up slightly at Sony Pictures Entertainment, the company's film and television division.
The story was much different over at Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., even though its revenue increased 42.9 percent to 243.4 ($2.1 billion). The company's game unit saw operating losses more than double, going from ť43.5 billion ($378 million) to 96.7 billion ($841 million). In Sony's own words, the shortfall was "due to the loss arising from the strategic pricing of [the PlayStation 3] at points lower than its production costs and PS3-related inventory write-downs." As of September 30, Sony's worldwide game inventory had increased 31.7 percent to 247.8 billion ($2.15 billion) "due to the buildup of finished goods following the introduction of the PS3 platform."
As for hardware sales, the three months ending September 30 saw Sony sell--not ship--1.31 million PS3s worldwide. The company also sold 3.28 million PlayStation 2s (a decrease of 0.31 million from Q2 2006) and 2.58 million PlayStation Portables (an increase of 0.56 million). The company did not break down said sales by region.
When it came to software, Sony sold 10.3 million PS3 games internationally during its second quarter. PS2 games decreased by 9.2 million units to 38 million, and PSP games dipped 600,000 units to 12.6 million units worldwide. No specific games were called out as being best-sellers.

All you fanatics of the rhythm genre of games (GH players, I'm looking at you) are probably waiting for the newest game in the Genre, Rock Band, with high expectations. I'm sure a lot of you are also pondering the release date, thankfullly it was revealed today.
The game is expected to launch on the 20th of November rather than the 23rd so all you fans can enjoy Thanksgiving (or a regular day for that matter) playing your favorite songs on your console, BUT only if you're a "Next Gen" gamer, the 360 and PS3 versions launch in November but the PS2 gets the game in December.
For those about to rock, I salute you
