nanoBITES 79

NanoBITES captures those small but important morsels of gaming information that otherwise might slip between the cracks.

ITEM! Say it ain’t so! 2K and Irrational have bumped BioShock Infinite from its October 2012 release date. The alternate history FPS is now due to arrive on 360, PS3 and PC in February 2013.

ITEM! EA has confirmed that new instalments of its Dead Space and Need For Speed franchises are in production. As reported by Joystiq, these titles are scheduled to land on shelves before April 2013.

ITEM! If the addition of multiplayer to Mass Effect 3 ruffled your feathers, prepare to be outraged all over again. Sony has revealed that the recently announced God of War: Ascension will feature a blood drenched PvP component.

ITEM! Kickstarter has proven to be a big success for the creators of Grim Dawn. With eight days remaining, more than $300,000 has been pledged, which means that development of this bleak action RPG has been fully funded.

ITEM! Product placement is back in the headlines. As noted by AdAge (via Game Informer) players of Zynga published guessing game Draw Something will soon be asked to illustrate branded products and corporate logos.

ITEM! Working on the proviso that you just can’t have too much of a good thing, Nintendo has unveiled New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS. Due to ship in August, the game will be a 2D platformer like its predecessor.

ITEM! A follow up to Kinect Joy Ride is in the works. This time around players won’t have to contend with gesture based controls or indeed a physical box for the game. Microsoft is prepping Joy Ride Turbo for release on XBLA.
