We'll have to wait and see if the game will justify a seven year development schedule.

Gearbox Software took the legendary unfinished game 'Duke Nukem Forever' and finished it, but they've had their own 'Duke Nukem' sitting in development for some time now. But there's finally a release date in place and things are looking good.

'Aliens: Colonial Marines,' which was first announced back in 2006, will finally be released on February 12th of 2013. The game's looking slick, and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says that the game is true to the original vision and downplays the development time as simply a misunderstanding based on a far-too-early announcement.

He also says that the release date is only for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC – the Wii U version will be announced at a later date.

For our European friends, the steampunk, stealth-action game is hitting on October 12th.

Bethesda's take on an assassination game, 'Dishonored,'will be hitting shelves on October 9th, or October 12th for our overseas friends.

If you've not yet seen the trailer, you absolutely should. Even if first-person stealth based around assassinations isn't your thing, the unique style is something that's well worth checking out.

Crystal Dynamics says that delivering the highest quality possible means that more time is needed.

The much talked about reboot of the Lara Croft games has been delayed from a fall 2012 release to a date somewhere in the first quarter of 2013. 'Tomb Raider' is in need of a bit of work in order to meet the standards of developer Crystal Dynamics.

"Our priority now is to make sure we fully deliver the very highest quality game," says studio head David Gallagher." He says that the game will be the best the company's put out so far and is building up some big expectations for what we can see with the extra development time

You won't see any gameplay or, well, much of anything. Still, teaser trailer!

You'd have to be crazy to assume a new 'God of War' game wasn't in the works. It's a giant money maker for Sony, and Sony likes money. Who doesn't?

'God of War: Ascension' hasn't been officially announced yet but we've already gotten some box art and a teaser trailer for the game thanks to a few leaks. We're still around two months away from E3 and already games are getting teased and revealed – pretty cool stuff.

Old School 'SSX' Characters and Track DLC Coming May 1st

The track brings back the classic 'SSX' look and a few music tracks from the old games as well.

The new 'SSX' game has been met with a lot of love from critics and fans alike, but the new style leaves some fans cold. Two pieces of DLC will be hitting on May 1st that bring the old games back for a bit.

If the characters are what you're missing, you can pick up the $5.99 Classic Characters Bundle Pack and get seven characters from the past complete with alternate outfits and unique snowboards.

The track, Mt. Eddie, also runs $5.99 and includes nine massive drops, retro music and the sort of flash and sizzle that fans of the older games will appreciate.

You can also pick up both packs at once for $7.99, which seems like the obvious choice.

Tags: PlayStation Network, PlayStation 3 (all tags)

You'll be unable to access the store or play online until around 7:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT.

The folks at Sony have shut down the PlayStation network for some routine maintenance today, which will prevent gamers from accessing Home, Account Management, the PlayStation Store and from playing games online.

Maintenance will end at 7:00pm PDT / 10:00pm EDT, so those living on the east coast will need to find something else to do tonight. Time to dust off one of those "man, I always meant to finish this" games.

PlayStation says to keep an eye on their Twitter feed for the most up to date info on the downtime.

Rumor: Rockstar Employee CV Reveals October Release for GTA V

The Linkedin page and resume have already been pulled, leading to further speculation.

There's always rumor and speculation surrounding game launches, but it's even greater with a game like 'Grand Theft Auto V,' where fans are looking at every source possible for the tiniest speck of information. Thanks to a Rockstar employee's resume and Linkedin profile, it looks like we may have a release date for the long awaited game.

Alex O'Dwyer, character animator at Rockstar, put 'GTA V' on the list of games he's worked on, with a launch date of October 2012. That wouldn't be too surprising as a release date considering that this would get the game out to hardcore fans and then still be a brand new title for the holidays, where it will certainly sell in record amounts.
