Goodbye, Nova

After the latest slip, it now looks like they're finally giving up on Starcraft: Ghost. The game has been put on indefinite hold.
"Like many in the industry, we've been impressed with the potential of the new consoles, and we're looking forward to exploring that potential further,"
Bah. Marketing speak for, "we gotta figure out how to get this running on next-gen hardware".

The game has had its share of problems in the past. Looks like the road has ended, though. Sigh.

Nice knowing you, Nova...

Maybe Blizzard will learn their lesson about announcing products before they have anything remotely ready to play. This was annouced in 2002 or something. I think it was supposed to come out in 2004. It's already a year and a half overdue. Almost no game can be that late and still be worth playing.

eh..not a chance. Blizzard has had that problem for forever. Remember how warcraft 3 was coming out in like 1995?

We'll just have to wait a little longer for some more starcraft.
