Take-Two chairman : Strauss Zelnick has announced that Bioshock 2 will be delayed until the fiscal year 2010. So there will be no return to Rapture this year. This is what Zelnick said in his announcement :
We concluded that moving the release of BioShock 2 into fiscal year 2010 was the right decision for the product. We believe the result will be a more compelling consumer experience and a better performing product in the marketplace.
Don’t despare with the line up of great games coming out this Chrismas on all consoles it wont hurt to have Bioshock come out next year.

Check out Madworld by Sega .. This game is hardcore and probably one of the most action packed aggressive /goriest games on the Nintendo Wii.
Details below :
MADWORLD is an inventive third-person action game exclusively for Wii and has a unique black and white style, depicting an incredibly sharp backdrop that straddles graphic novels and 3D worlds.
As players battle opponents, they must master the use of various weapons and items found within their environment, such as chainsaws and street signs, while entertaining sports commentary adds to the thirdperson gameplay. With its irreverent humour and over-the-top violence, MADWORLD will deliver a unique core gaming experience.
Features:
Killer looks – black and white stylised graphics based on comic books and graphic novels deliver a stunning and unique looking game.
Exciting, visceral gameplay – fast and instinctive arcade-style gameplay with brutal finishing moves delivered by the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
Over-the-top violence and irreverent content – exaggerated characters, murderous moves, monstrous bosses & outrageous commentary add to the irreverent and humorous tone.
Multiplayer mini-games – compete in a variety of ultra-violent “partygames” that can be played hotseat against friends.
Seems like a few Japanese iPhone customers managed to get their hands on the iPhone Edition of Resident Evil 4 which was released in the Japanese iTunes store very very briefly before it was pulled off its shelves for reasons unknown. We have managed to get some screenshots and video gameplay. Which isnt too bad.
One thing you might want to consider when watching the video is that the speed and gameplay might be a little smoother on the new 3Gs models.
Check it out for yourselves and be the judges. It looks better than Resident Evil : Degeneration which is available for download from the iTunes store at the moment.
Today, PopCap Games announced a sequel to one of their most critically acclaimed games ever, 2007’s Bookworm Adventures. In the original game, you take Lex the bookworm on a series of adventures through well known literature. You are tested on your knowledge of vocabulary while taking on a series of storybook-based enemies by spelling the longest words you can with a series of letter tiles.
This new sequel, to be had exclusively at PopCap’s website on July 30th, expands on the original by offering new books to travel through, new enemies, new power-ups and the like. Here’s a list of what you can expect when the game hits.
3 all-new books of ten chapters each: “Fractured Fairytales,” “The Monkey King” and “Astounding Planets”
All-new infinite Replay mode: Pick a book, fight foes and score big points
6 mini-games, including all-new “Mutant Words,” “Golden Coins” and “Word Up”
Battle more than 130 ferocious new foes while wielding over 20 terrific new treasures
Companions: Literary figures join Lex and battle by his side
Rainbow Tiles: New potent wild card tiles allow you to build the gigantic words of your dreams
Arena mode: Spell quickly to defeat your toughest enemies
Achievements: earn trophies, points and badges
Truly, PopCap knows their audience. If this game is anywhere near as good as the first, you can sign me up day one!
Bookworm Adventures 2 will retail for $19.95 July 30th exclusively on PopCap.com
News just in from the guys at Capcom-Unity !! Im going to rehash this :
Capcom_UnityNews from Capcom Mobile: RE4 will be coming to iPhone end of July beginning with Japan, rest of world to follow shortly thereafter. Woo!about 5 hours agofrom TweetDeck This is going to be fantastic. Resident Evil is most certainly one of the best Resident Evil’s in the series. With over 40 + hours of gameplay when it arrives on the iPHONE prepare to stop everything else your doing and get stuck into zombie killing action all over again. As the Capcom guys have noted it will first be released in Japan and then flow its way down to the rest of the world. Lets hope that Australia is a close second after Japan. No indication on pricing at the moment, but from previous titles such as Resident Evil Generation I believe that RE4 will be less than $10. Thats a great price to pay for such a fantastic game.
