Capcom released their long awaited Bionic Commando re-imagining for consoles last May. However the game received average reviews and reportedly slow sales. So the excitement for the upcoming PC version has slowed somewhat. If you are still interested in checking out the PC port for the game we have some final release dates for you.

The Capcom Unity Twitter site has revealed that the game (developed by GRIN) will actually ship to stores on July 17 in Europe (that's a week from this Friday). However we here in the US will have to wait a bit longer; the game ships to stores here on July 28. You can check out the game's system requirements after the jump:

When I finally picked up Street Fighter IV PC yesterday at Gamestop, I could not find a bundle with a controller at all, so I used that extra $20 bucks on the 360 version of this title.

I am hoping that this game gets a spike in notice because of the $20 360 version - so that when the PC version hits, it will at least do as well as the 360 did in its first month.

But this IS Capcom, and if anything this year, they have proved that anything they do is worth checking out in some form.

XBox 360 - And like the Rearmed title, I will probably enjoy it.Posted at 10:48AM on Jul 9th 2009 by SidearmS
