So I am sat here just finishing up at work and thought I would update everyone on whats going on, I have a few things in my mind that came up while listening to the BombCast so look out below for those.

Firstly, my purchase of NHL 09 that is released friday here in the UK has been put off until the end of the month. My laptop decided that for one final time it would show me what its made of with the blue screen of death, good bye my old friend.. Now considering my laptop is my one source to get online it takes prioroty over those other important things. I have a laptop ordered and will hopefully post a few pictures when it arrives, with a copy of Spore arriving friday all should be right with the world.

Now the games I need to pick up at the end of the month are NHL 09 and Star Wars: Force Unleashed, I think most of my time will be pumped in to Force Unleashed as it usually takes me a while to really start getting in to the sports genre games and Force Unleashed is probably higher on my list of most wanted than NHL.

OK, While listening to this weeks BombCast I had a thought. The first part of the cast is all about the Dreamcast and how it died so quickly, well, in the gaming world there are plenty of things that seem to get a lot of hype and then suddenly seem to just disappear. So I have a question for everyone, are there any games that come to mind that you heard/read about that you looked forward to but then suddenly disappeared? A few that pop in to my mind are B.C a caveman game that was at the time being developed by Peter Molyneux of Fable fame (I think thats right, atleast what I remember of it its right). Anywasy that game got shelved pretty late in development. Another is Stargate SG1: The Alliance, something that was given a major ad campaign and even features on the SG1 and Atlantis DVD sets at one point. Again due to different reasons it was shelved.

Now on to the one most common amongst Dreamcast users (See the link...;)) Shenmue 3. I really havent a clue what happened to Shenmue 3, they realese Shenmue 2 on Xbox and Dreamcast leaving the ending with a nice cliffhanger and then all goes quiet. Shenmue 3 is not mentioned for a long time, hoping people would forget about it. Shame as I would have loved to see the final chapter in the series.

Any thoughts? Other games you have looked forward tot hat have come up short or cut and never made?
