June 27, 2007 - The long-dormant, ultra-violent first-person shooter (FPS) Soldier of Fortune is returning to the front lines, Activision confirmed to IGN today. The publisher was mum on any details about gameplay, platforms, or release dates, and would only say that the sequel is currently in development at its Minneapolis office, Activision Value. Value is the publisher's budget title development studio, responsible for games like Pimp My Ride, Barbie, and Cabela's African Safari.

Originally released on PC back in 2000, Soldier of Fortune was one of the first FPS titles to sport realistic limb damage, allowing players to shoot off their enemies' body parts. Despite some controversy which arose around the game's gruesome nature, a sequel arrived in 2002.

The original Soldier of Fortune.
GameStop's online store has a listing for Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back to be released this November on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Activision would not say when it plans to make an official announcement. With all the negative publicity surrounding Manhunt 2 recently, it is possible Activision is waiting for a more appropriate moment to announce another gorefest.

This is in stores today, and it looks like it could be fun. Unfortunately I'm still without a 360, so I can't try it out.

Now this seems like a cool and fun way to play with your Wii. Can't wait till I pick up a Wii this week so I can finally get my Wii Sports fix while my 360 is in the shop.

This looks like it could be a good Sci-Fi MMO. From the videos I saw it looked really cool. I'm in the process of downloading it now to test it out. But its free so why not give it a try?

*EDIT* This looks like its for our European users only.

Check them out. Sorry about the lack of updates the last two days, between work and a 2 day Kayak trip, I haven't had the time to update my blog. I'll be making up for it and posting some good news items today.

The flat text database was nice and easy to add to the site, but I'm starting to experience more and more issues with it. I'm looking into better options to migrate this to a more robust database system. Stay tuned as hopefully with that update will come even better things on the site. ;-)
