At E3 2009, Sony Computer Entertainment America told the world that Zipper Interactive's massive action game, MAG, would be shipping "Fall 2009." BioShock 2 and Heavy Rain have already been delayed until 2010 and here's another one for ya. MAG - best-known for its awesome 256-player online mode - is now scheduled to be released in January 2010. If it misses its January release date, Sony said that it will be available by the end of the fiscal year 2009 aka March 2010.

I just hope that God of War III doesn't end up being delayed too because that would be a huge let down for the PlayStation 3. This was supposed to be their year, but I guess that's also been delayed to 2010.

This is a game to get excited for. At E3, it was announced that God of War III will be released for the Play Station 3 in March 2010. I can't wait to get this game. I promise I will get a PS3 before then, hopefully the rumoured Slim! It's only 9 months away, so just wait patiently.

Don't get your hopes up Mac fans, Google Chrome will not be released for the Mac yet. But, it is on the way. Today, you get a taste of what it may look like. It's still in development, but look out for it in the coming months.

IBuyPower looks like they are going to be releasing two new gaming rigs, for the gamers. I would say 'us' gamers, but i can't call myself a gamer anymore, until Starcraft 2 comes out, that is. Anyways, the lower-end model will be the Gamer HAF 91B. This rig will use AMD's Dragon platform and will have the Phenom II X4 920 processor. It also comes with 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a 500GB SATA II HDD, a dual-layer DVD writer, an ATI 512MB Radeon HD 4850 graphics card and a 550-watt power supply. It also has an alright-looking case, the CoolerMaster HAS 932. The higher-end model will be called the Gamer Fire and it will have a Phenom II X4 940 CPU, a 750GB HDD, a Blu-ray drive and has an NZXT Guardian 921 chassis (case). The Gamer HAF 91B is going for $999 USD; meanwhile, the Gamer Fire is going for $1,439 USD. It's up to you to choose which one will suit your needs.

On to more disappointing news we head over to Square Enix. Dragon Quest IX looks like its going to be delayed and that may also affect the, already-late, release date of Final Fantasy XIII. Square Enix has already announced that we'll (North America) be seeing Final Fantasy XIII (at the earliest) in early 2010. Since, Dragon Quest is being pushed back, this might even push Final Fantasy XIII to a mid-2010 launch. Let's go Square Enix, you can do it.

Google will finally let developers sell their Android apps. You will be able to sell apps on the Android Market. Google's apps will work a little bit different from Apple's apps. This is because instead of reviewing each app made, like Apple does, Google will let users rate the application. I don't know how effective this strategy will be but we'll just have to see and find out for ourselves.

If you happened to catch some of the Spike TV Video Game Awards, you may have seen the short trailer for God of War 3. This is the extended version and it looks amazing. The graphics quality is amazing and will, apparently, be one of the best graphical games of all time. Here's the extended trailer, via Blip.tv.

My day was pretty hectic in the morning, and it really got me pissed. So, i knew i had to wake up early this morning, since i had a Religion test 1st period and i told my mom to wake me up. I ended up sleeping at 6:10 (yup!) for about 15 minutes, and then it was 6:25 a.m. I took my shower, made myself some eggs and left out the front door. My Brampton transit bus is at 7:08 in the mornings, and this morning it came a bit late, around 7:12 a.m so that was cool. Got to Derry road, and usually my bus is at 7:52, so i'd have to wait there for about 7 minutes. Waited... 8 minutes passed, but still not there. I was turned around because i was trying to remember if i turned off the stove this morning or not. But, yeah, it ended up being 8:10, and my bus was still wasn't there. I was getting impatient and knew i was gonna be late for my Religion test. The bus ended up coming at 8:17... great. I talk to some guy i knew at the next stop, since he's always there with me everyday. The bus driver overheard our conversation and told us that the 7:52 bus this morning didn't come. It didn't come because the bus driver didn't show up to work, so he was fired. This explained why the bus was completely packed, to the point where when we got to Tomken, 2 people couldn't even get on the bus. Finally got to Mavis and waited for either the 61 or the 57 to come by. The 61 came around 8:47 and i got into class at 8:57.
