Originally announced for release in the summer, Midway's rather excellent looking shooter, Blacksite: Area 51 is now being delayed. The game is now due to be available in North America on November 5th, while my limey brethren and I enjoy a slightly earlier October 26th release.
Despite the delay, I still have high hopes for this game. Midway can be very hit and miss, but the company is still capable of churning out a decent title now and then. If the demo was anything to go by, Area 51 may very well be on the hit side of Midway's resume'.

In all seriousness, though, this is somewhat saddening. I actually loved the demo on XBL, and am dying to get my hands on this.
zing!
