The next Red Faction game will be coming out a bit later than first announced. Publisher THQ announced today that the sci-fi shooter Red Faction: Armageddon, originally due for release in March 2011, will now be coming out a couple of months later in the May 2011 time frame. No specific reason for the delay was announced.
This move by THQ pushes the game out of the company’s current fiscal year which ends on March 31, 2011. Because of this change THQ has lowered its revenue expectations for the fiscal year. Previously it had said it expected revenues between $845 million to $865 million. It now says that it expects revenues to come in between $800 million to $825 million for the fiscal year. it also expects to post a loss for the entire fiscal year versus its previous predictions of a break even fiscal year.
THQ also announced today it plans to release the third person action game Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine in the summer of 201. In addition, the next game in the Saints Row open world action game series is due out in the fall of 2011.
Warning: you are about to have another one of those “Why didn’t I think of this first?” moments.
YouTube user FineLeatherJackets has put the audio from one of Inception‘s trailers on top of the visual stylings of Psychonauts. The end result? Inceptionauts. Like the majority of these reworked trailer projects, the two concepts mesh together far nicer than you would have ever imagined.
It’s people like this who entertain us on off hours and get us through the seemingly endless daily grind; keep fighting the good fight. Oh, and if you thought “Scribblenauts“at first glance, you aren’t alone.
An interesting little graphic EA Sports sent us today illustrates what most would expect: An actual NFL game crashes Madden NFL’s participation numbers. But it still holds on to about 34,000 hardcore users from kickoff to final gun. More »

Maybe you have heard of Magicka, maybe not. It’s a top-down, action-adventure fantasy title that’s big on co-op and spell casting. Notice how I went out of my way to specifically not mention a certain point-and-click-heavy Blizzard game; oh wait, there it goes again.
As evidenced by the latest trailer for Magicka, Arrowhead Game Studios isn’t afraid to get a little silly every now and then. Even in breaking normally sad news like a delay, they’re still able to get a smile out of us.
This sub-genre of isometric RPGs has sort of been tackled to death at this point, but I’m feeling good about this game. Why that is, I can’t really say. Good old blind optimism!
