Publisher THQ and developer Volition are reassuring PC gamers that Saints Row: The Third will not be delayed on that platform, and will be released on time alongside the console versions on November 15.

Ubisoft's Beyond Good & Evil 2 can't be what they 'imagined it to be' if it releases for this generation of hardware, reveals Michel Ancel. Twiddle those thumbs.

They had big ambitions for the original PS2 game but it was "far less than what we wanted" in the end, because of limitations. Ancel and co. wants planetary travel.

Saints Row: The Third will introduce you to the wild Japanese-style game show The Wide World of Genki, brought to you by Professor Genki.

This is no ordinary game show, though. Things can get hairy for the contestants, who need to avoid deadly traps and violent enemies, and the television viewers, who could get seizures from watching the thing.

Director James Cameron has said the Avatar videogame was a victim of bad timing, as it hit shops "well before the movie" and so was an 'unknown'.

Indie developer Vlambeer has announced that their retro-style action-RPG, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, will be hitting Steam and some other digital distributors in mid-October. The game finds Serious Sam battling legions of bizarre creatures alongside his oddball cast of mercenary friends. The budgetware will run gamers a mere $4.99 USD.

CDV has released a new Dungeon Defenders trailer showing off the Monk class along with all of his abilities, buffs and attacks.

The leaked video seen last week was apparently the real deal, as an unnamed source at Electronic Arts has confirmed that it's developing Dead Space 3, and instead of taking place on a spaceship, the game will take place on an ice world with severe blizzard conditions.

The PC version of Avalanche Studios' twin-stick shooter Rengade Ops will be hitting in late October, according to the Steam page, which would be a delay from its previous early October window.
