It was a game that had one of the greatest titles of all time: Age of Booty. Developer Certain Affinity's downloadable pirate-themed strategy game was pretty good in itself. Publisher Capcom released the game for the PC back in March 2009. Now it looks like the game was successful enough to perhaps generate a follow-up.

Certain Affinity has registered the title "Legend of Booty" with the US Trademark Office a few days ago. Since it doesn't make sense that they would register such a title without some sort of plan for a game to go with it we feel safe in speculating that some kind of Age of Booty sequel might be underway.

Just a few days after the latest PC patch added the second map pack for Call of Duty World at War, Activision has gone ahead and announced that a third map pack for the WWII shooter is in the works and will be released for consoles in August. While there's no mention of a PC release for the map pack yet we suspect that it will also be released as part of a future patch several weeks after the console versions get a hold of it.

As with the previous two map packs, this third edition will add three more multiplayer maps to the game (Battery, Revolution and Breach) that were co-developed by Treyarch and Certain Affinity. And yes there will be yet another zombie based map added called "Der Riese" (Zombie Factory). In addition to a new weapon, the Pack-A-Punch Machine, the map apparently has teleporters "to escape in an instant and fight to the death" Sounds interesting.

We've been waiting a long time for this moment but it has now finally arrived: Capcom has just released the PC downloadable strategy game with our personal favorite title: Age of Booty. Yes, now you can purchase and download the Certain Affinity-developed title for $10 at Capcom's online store.

The pirate themed Age of Booty was first released as a PC beta back in October but the full and final version of the game was released for the Xbox 360 in October and for the PS3 in November. There is no word as to why the full PC version took so long to be completed but it's ready now. In its official blog, Capcom says the game will appear on other download outlets like Steam and Direct2Drive soon. in addition we can also expect a PC demo of Age of Booty to be released with Capcom it will "likely arrive next week."

Our lives are now complete...wait, oh darn..we still have to wait for Stalin Vs Martians to be released before that happens. Our bad.

Capcom's downloadable game program hit a delay with their next release Flock. Originally scheduled for release in January, the title is now set for release for the PC on April 7 with console releases later that week, according to a new article on IGN. Developed by Proper Games, this Lemmings-style action-puzzle title will have players herding animals over to a waiting UFO.

Meanwhile PC gamers are still waiting for Capcom to give them their booty; that is, their copy of Age of Booty, the pirate themed strategy game from developer Certain Affinity. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game have been out for those platforms for several months now but PC owners, who got to play a beta version last fall, have been left in the lurch. The last word is that the PC version would be out by the end of this month but it now looks unlikely like that will happen.

Last time we checked in with Capcom on the long delayed PC release of Age of Booty their spokesperson said they were targeting a release sometime this month. Well the downloadable pirate themed strategy game from developer Certain Affinity seems to have run into yet another delay.

According to a new IGN article, Capcom now appears to be targeting a late February release for the PC version. The release would be timed with updates to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions which were made available last fall. There's still no word as to why the PC version of Age of Booty has been pushed back yet again.

As you know we have been waiting for some time for the PC release of Age of Booty, the downloadable pirate themed strategy game from developer Certain Affinity and publisher Capcom. The game was released via download for the Xbox 360 in October and for the PS3 in November but PC gamers are still awaiting their shot at booty.

And now it appears they will have to wait a bit longer. Big Download finally got a hold of Capcom's PR rep for the game who told us that while they still don't have a specific release date, it does look like the PC version will be released via download sometime in January. There is no word as to the reasons for the delay but we will keep you up to date when we get more info on a specific release date.

PC gamers are still wondering where their booty will be available...their Age of Booty that is. While the downloadable pirate strategy game from developer Certain Affinity has been officially released for the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, publisher Capcom has yet to release the promised PC version of the title.

Ironically, PC owners got to play a free open beta of Age of Booty weeks before the console release. However there's still no word on when the PC version will finally be made available. Big Download has tried to contact Capcom's PR folks to get more information but so far they have not responded to our inquires.

It's a game that we have said before has one of our favorite titles of 2008: Age of Booty. Can you believe this game was previously known as Plunder? The pirate themed downloadable strategy game from developer Certain Affinity and publisher Capcom has been on our radar for some time and now Fileplanet is offering an open beta of the game for anyone with a FilePlanet account.

The Capcom blog site has a little more info on the multiplayer beta including word that soon the game's map editor will be unlocked in the beta test. Not only that, but people who make good maps during the beta test will have their maps included as free downloadable content after the game is released. There's no word yet on when the final game will be made available for download.

Developer Certain Affinity has a certain affinity for pirates. Publisher Capcom seems to share their love of swashbuckling and has teamed with them to produce Age of Booty, a pirate-themed strategy title that sends players on a journey across land and sea.

In case you missed them in last week's E3 hullabaloo, Certain Affinity has released a few gameplay trailers that offer an idea of how Booty's gameplay will work, featuring different strategy elements, vessels, and of course, booty. Each high definition trailer is available from Big Download for your viewing pleasure.

Age of Booty will be released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC during the third quarter of 2008.

Are you in the mood to plunder some booty? Not the modern meaning of "booty," you pervert - pirate booty. You know, treasure: gold coins, scepters, crowns, that sort of thing. For those looking to scour the open seas for treasure, developer Certain Affinity and publisher Capcom's Age of Booty should fit your bill, swabbie.
