Yawn — another big fall delay? What else is new?

News Blips:


Korea is not going to like this one: StarCraft 2 officially delayed. Blizzard’s highly anticipated real-time strategy game got pushed back to 2010. Because apparently getting delayed is the cool thing to do nowadays. [Joystiq]

Oh, yay? Call of Duty 4 coming to Wii. Well, it’s only two years too late, but Call of Duty 4 is officially coming to the Wii this fall. Because Wii owners obviously aren’t smart enough to know a new Call of Duty is also coming out later this year. [1UP]

DJ Hero Renegade Edition possibly costs more than a little. If you wanna buy the special edition of DJ Hero, it might set you back $200. But that is chump change for people who have lots of money. Which means we’ll be buying it used in six months. [GameSpot]

This is unexpected: New Tony Hawk and Spider-Man games in the works. Yeah, yeah — we know. You’re not going to believe this one, but you have to trust us: Activision confirmed it will be releasing new Tony Hawk, Spider-Man, and James Bond games next year. Yep, it’s true. Really. [Shacknews]
