Battle vs. Chess hits shelves September 28 photo

After reading ou r Battle vs. Chess preview, I know what you were thinking: "Who the hell is Tara Long?" and when can I get my hands on this fine original piece of software?

The answer to your first question is… I don't know either. But she'll be at PAX, from what I'm told, so find her and ask her. To answer the second question, September 28 is when Battle vs. Chess will be out for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Publisher SouthPeak announced the date in a press release this week, which sounds like it was written more for investors than press. Actual text from the release: "Classic Strategy Game Expected to Propel Sales and Achieve Profitable Margins." What I would have written: "Old Stupid Chess Now Features Demons, Knights, and Boobs." Not sure what they were thinking with that "profitable margins" thing.

I know it was mentioned but...um...b
Battle Chess was a damn shareware game, this isn't that mind blowing. That said I have been waiting for a modern battle chess for years, so consider me sold.

Don't want. Just give us Two Worlds II, SouthPeak.

Thanks for covering this game when so few sites have. I am actually really looking forward to this game. One my first and fondest memories in computer gaming is the first time I saw Battle Chess running on an Amiga in Electronics Boutique in 1989. Hey, if it could sell well back then, it can do so now!

Gutlesswonder, Battle Chess was NOT a shareware game. It was a full retail game from Interplay.

I don't know who she is, but she looks like a cheap dumb hooker. And writer like one too.

You better cool off, 'tard. Your insults are uncalled and completely unnecessary.
