The upcoming Epilogue downloadable expansion to Prince of Persia has been delayed beyond its expected Thursday release, according to Ubisoft.

The DLC, which includes a new mission set after the original game's ending, is now set to hit on March 5 on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

Publisher Ubisoft today revealed new details on Techland's Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and provided the first in-engine look at the upcoming shooter prequel.

Due out this summer, the prequel to 2007's Call of Juarez will let players choose between Ray or Thomas in single-player, each with their own distinct characteristics. For example, one focuses on long-range combat, the other in close-range fighting.

Meanwhile, the multiplayer mode will pack objective team-based and death match modes, and a new bounty system that sees a player earn notoriety based on their kill count. The more kills a player has, the more you earn when you finally take them down.

Rumors that publisher Sega has canned Obsidian's long-in-development Aliens RPG have apparently been confirmed by former Obsidian designer David Kondor.

Kondor's LinkedIn lists him as a "designer for canceled third-person action Aliens RPG" at Obsidian from April 2008 to February 2009, as noticed by Strategy Infromer.

Obsidian's Aliens RPG was first announced way back in 2006, with few updates from the studio or publisher since. Rumors of its cancellation surfaced in early February.

Sega and Obsidian have yet to officially address the rumors, which also specify staff cuts at Obsidian and suggest Sega is "reviewing" Gearbox's cooperative Aliens shooter.

Earlier this year, Sega announced a new Aliens game by Rebellion, Aliens vs. Predator, noting that the new game would arrive before any of the publisher's other Aliens games. However, the Aliens RPG and Aliens: Colonial Marines weren't mentioned by name.

Update: Several outlets, including IGN and Eurogamer, have published hands-on previews that indicate Dante's Inferno is heading to PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. The game was originally announced for a 2009 release.

Original: The first screenshots of EA Redwood Shores' Dante's Inferno, described as "Dead Space meets God of War in Hell," have arrived, providing a look at the real game.

Some concept art was provided as well, giving us a better look at Dante, that scythe of Death's that he wields, and an intriguing rendition of Cerberus.

The 14th century poem turned beat 'em up hits this fall. Only a PlayStation 3 version has been confirmed at this time, but PC and Xbox 360 editions are likely given EA's history.

Here's the second trailer for Dante's Inferno, the upcoming Divine Comedy-inspired, "Dead Space meets God of War" game from EA Redwood Shores.

According to an earlier preview, the gameplay is looking to be nearly identical to God of War, the major innovation apparently coming from a title that does not end in "of War."

Dante's Inferno is set to be released this year. Only the PlayStation 3 version has been confirmed, but the game will likely end up on the PC and Xbox 360 as well.

Proper Games' downloadable herding puzzle game Flock! will receive a staggered PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 release across the second week of April, IGN reports.

The game, which has players controlling a UFO as they attempt to herd barnyard animals through various obstacles and into the mothership, will hit PC on Tuesday, April 7, Xbox 360 on Wednesday, April 8, and debut on PlayStation 3 come Thursday, April 9.

Neither Proper Games nor publisher Capcom have provided a price point for Flock.

Last week, Sony said that Killzone 2 would usher in "an unprecedented year" of PlayStation 3 exclusives, including God of War III, MAG, and Heavy Rain.

Now, though, Sony has clarified that statement. In a press release issued today, the company said that its numerous "groundbreaking exclusives," including MAG and God of War III, will arrive within the fiscal year, which doesn't conclude until March 2010.

In other words, God of War III and MAG may not arrive until March 31, 2010, at the very latest, which is when Sony's next fiscal year ends. Furthermore, God of War III and MAG were the only listed games that didn't have a firm 2009 release before last week.

It's also worth noting that all past God of War console games have launched in March, at least in North America, with international releases coming a few weeks or months later.

As for the rest the "groundbreaking exclusives" listed in today's release, Killzone 2, inFamous, MLB 09: The Show, and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves made the cut, all of which have been previously confirmed for 2009. And while Sony made no mention of Heavy Rain today, the publisher has previously listed it as a late 2009 release.

Rather than adapt his own THQ game into a film, 50 Cent is first looking to develop the publisher's Saints Row franchise into a movie.

The rapper announced that he was optioning the rights to create a Saints Row movie during a conference call earlier today.

"With my relationship with THQ, they'll actually see me develop Saint's Row into an actual screeplay and into a film project," said Mr. Cent, according to Kotaku.

"I'm optioning the rights for that right now, so they'll see that before they see me do it from my own perspective for my game," he added.
