   These last days brought quite a few release date announcements, some of which are actually more like corrections... or delays, in plain English. The games involved range from the DirectX 10 extravaganza Crysis, to the first Zelda game for the Nintendo DS, all the way to the defecting (though not at all defective) Xbox 360 flight-sim, Ace Combat 6... and everything in-between. So let's take them one at a time, shall we?

   With the recent opening of the new Crysis website, Electronic Arts has confirmed that Crysis is set for release in autumn 2007, and further reports indicate an even more precise date. According to an Amazon listing, Crytek's latest tropical / Zero-G shooter is due for release on September 11, 2007.

   Next up on the PC, NCsoft issued a salvo of statements this week, one of which predicts that the next chapter in ArenaNet's subscription-free MMORPG, Guild Wars: Eye of the North will be released on August 31. As for the other statements, they're not entirely pretty, but we'll get back to them shortly.

   Moving on to Nintendo's consoles, it was announced that The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass should finally ship for the DS on October 1. At the same time, Nintendo briefly mentioned that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is getting delayed once again - although only by a week this time. So instead of August 20, it's now set for August 27.

   A rather good news was brought by Namco Bandai, whose Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation flight combat game will land in stores (only) for Xbox 360 on October 23, somewhat sooner than we had hoped for. Gamespot also has word that it's being launched in tandem with Hori's Ace-Edge Flightstick, the Xbox 360's first flight-sim accessory.

   Last, and certainly least, Fatal Inertia is now scheduled to ship on September 11. Only for the Xbox 360, though, as Koei's communique has absolutely nothing to say about the game's PS3 version, which may as well be delayed till next year. If it ever makes it, at all...
