Remember last week when associate producer Ryan Hamlyn said the upcoming PlayStation 3 title Lair was finished, even going as far as to say it was in manufacturing? Psych -- just kidding!
It appears that even Hamlyn didn't see this one coming, as the game's release date has been pushed back to September 4. Blame it on the leaderboards and in-game medal system, says Hamlyn.
Of course, this delay doesn't have anything to do with the fairly poor review scores the game received in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (the game received a two 5.0 scores, and a third opinion of a 6.0 out of 10). The overall concesus was that the game's controls leave a lot to be desired, with EGM's managing editor Garnett Lee calling the highly anticipated title a "frustrating disappointment." Ouch.

Haze, anyone?
Lair? March 07.
The only game I've played with Sixaxis controls is the demo of Motor Storm, and man, are the controls sensitive. I don't know if it's that way in the full version, though.
As for this, I'm sorry to hear about the reviews. I thought the game looked pretty nicely done, personally. Anyone know if there'll be a demo of it on the PSN anytime?
All my life, all I've ever hoped for is relative success!
@ Agent Chieftan:
Psych owns.
@coonskin:
Thanks for the heads up. Fixed.
Talladega Nights!
Sucks for PS3 owners. Hopefully the game will be worth it.
He's talking about the PS3 right?
let's hope they can salvage this one...
SHAKE N BAKE!!!
Hopefully they can iron this one out somewhat, I'm still waiting for an excuse to actually buy a PS3...
