Shipping this week: Cya, social life!


Last year gamers complained that there were too many great games made available during the fall season they could barely keep up; this year is going to be much worse. As the cold front from a faded summer takes over gamers are already being treated with piles of games to add to their collection.

MMO fans are eager to get their hands on with Mythic Entertainment's Warhammer Online, which ships on September 18. Shooter fans, itching for more content in two favorites, are welcomed to land copies of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (September 15) and Crysis Warhead (September 16). Even fans of bad licensed titles are looking forward to Hell's Kitchen. Alright you caught us, no one is looking forward to a game based on Hell's Kitchen. But this post just seemed stronger with a fourth example.

Full list of releases for the week ending September 20 after the jump.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky cleared for Sept. 15 US release; Steam pre-order deal


After a shipping snafu that that caused the product's CD keys to go missing from its retail packaging, publisher Deep Silver has confirmed that September 15 will be the new and final US release date for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, the next game in the GSC Game World first person shooter series.

The date is also when it will appear on Valve's Steam service for digital download and Steam is offering customers one of their usual pre-order specials for the game. If you pay for the game now via Steam you get 10 percent off the price before S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky is available for download. Since the game has already shipped in Europe the first patch has been released and can be grabbed at Big Download.

Shipping screw up causes slight S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky US delay


European publisher Deep Silver's first game in the US market, the GSC Game World FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky was highly anticipated but a shipment error has caused the game's release date to be pushed back in this country. According to a report on Shacknews, a "manufacturing issue" has caused copies of the North American version to be recalled. Blue's News adds that (via an unnamed retail source) the specific issue was that the game boxes did not contain the CD keys.

There's no word on a new release date for the game although online retailers now have a September 15 date. This new development will likely push back any digital download release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky in the US. The European release date remains unchanged; it will ship on September 5.
