Europe will wait to assassinate

Europe has to wait for games so often that we should just assume all announced games will be delayed (low blow, sorry), but we digress. The latest game to avoid European release is the DS version of Assassin's Creed, which is now scheduled to come to continent on March 28th. On the bright side, we haven't heard many Europeans (or anyone in general) champing at the bit for this game, so those of you who live across the pond might not even mind this delay too much.The North American date for Altair's Chronicles is still marked as February 5th, giving Europe enough time to find out whether the game is any good before committing to buy it.

February 5th already? Yet even still, information is nearly impossible to come by. All I've seen are the 6 little images on IGN.

Yes, it's all very shady business. I suppose we'll find out soon enough if the NA date stands!

Don't apologise, we assume all games will be massively delayed. We're still waiting on Wario Ware Twisted, FFS. NoE issued two different press releases trumpeting its release, on two different dates, months apart, and never bothered to tell anyone they were canning it.

That sucks :( Why do we always get everything later ?

I just really hope this game is fun. I liked the 360 Assassin's Creed, and I hope this game compliments it, instead of ruining it, in which games like this can easily do. I am really lookong forward to it, and because I'm in the States, it's only 6 days away.

Don't get me wrong, I can totally sympathize with the Europeans, since they actually get some games that we don't even get to dream of, and my husband is British so I get to hear his game-delay woe's a lot...
But personally, I'd sort of prefer it that way. I tend to ignore corporate & critic reviews (save for DSFanboy) because they are usually paid for by ads, extremely bias, and they have lead me astray more often than not.
However, user reviews tend to be honest, in line with my thinking, more liberal with due praise, and much more critical when need be.
So...being able to get solid, gamer-written reviews prior to buying a game would be a perk...for me anyways.
