After reading our 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.
