Ubisoft today announced the release date for Free Radical’s PlayStation 3 shooter, Haze - May 22, 2008. In the mean time, why not check out the demo currently available on the PlayStation Store, which supports four-player co-operative, or our gallery of Haze screenshots.
According to Amazon UK, Sony’s Play TV add-on for the PlayStation 3 has an expected release date of July 31, and will be available for £59.99. Pre-orders are now open
Ubisoft, the Australian distributor for Namco Bandai, has confirmed the Australian release date of Soul Calibur IV as July 31, 2008. John Parkes, Marketing Director at Ubisoft is pretty chuffed:
We are thrilled to be bringing Soulcalibur’s successful heritage to PAL territories as it sets into motion a new echelon of dynamic gameplay and exceptional game graphics on next generation platforms […] Offering players an ultimate fighting game experience, Soulcalibur IV will definitely be an owners ‘must have’ in building their game collection library

SCE Australia has announced a release date for the DualShock 3. In stores on April 24, the DualShock 3 has been priced at a truly ridiculous AUD$99.95.
New Zealand is left waiting until May 9, and paying NZ$109.95.
Of course, The Gamer Gene strongly recommends importing DualShock 3s from Play-Asia - they’re only US$54.90 (AUD$59.30) so even with express shipping you’re likely to save nearly $30.
We’ve just got word that Mario Kart Wii will arrive in Australia on April 24 - a week before the usually luckier gamers in the US get their fix. While first-party Wii games are usually under AU$80, Mario Kart Wii gets a recommended retail price of $99.95 due to being bundled with the undeniably crappy Wii Wheel accessory.
Wii Fit will arrive on May 8, and will set you back $149.95 for the software and balance board. The UK release date of April 25 means they will be the first to get the game outside Japan, and the US release date of May 19 means they will have to be content with lucky last place.
LucasArts has finally announced a release date for the much-anticipated Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - September 16, 2008 in the United States, September 17 in Southeast Asia and Australia, and September 19 in Europe.
Midway has finally announced a European release date for the PS3 port of Unreal Tournament 3 - February 22, 2008. The game has already sold over 1.2 million copies, and we suspect it’ll move a few more once it hits the PAL territories. No word on an Australian release date.
Sony has finally announced the PAL release of Riff: Everyday Shooter - not via press release, but during a nice chat with Eurogamer. The price comes in at £4.99, with no Australian price revealed - but last time something cost £4.99, Australians paid $12.95.

SuperVillian Studios has officially announced their PSP port of That Game Company’s amazing PSN title fl0w will be released on March 6. Interestingly, price is yet to be announced - perhaps Sony recognize that this will make or break the port in terms of sales. Despite loving fl0w on the PS3, I’d be hesitant to spend any more than $2.50 on a portable version.
Trailer after the jump.
Ubisoft has pushed back the release date of Free Radical’s PlayStation 3 shooter, Haze…again. Details were found in a financial report recently issued by Ubisoft, and the game will now hit some time during Ubisoft’s 2008 fiscal year, between April 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009.
