Sunday Comics: Dead Island Eden Games, makers of the Test Drive series, staged a symbolic one-day walkout last year when Atari moved forward on plans to lay off more than half the studio. Now it’s moving toward washing its hands of all of it.
Atari and Eden Games today delayed Test Drive Unlimited 2 until an early 2011 release to allow further multiplayer development. The Beta too is delayed.

Don’t have $US1.7 million to drop one of the only 77 Aston Martin One-77′s being produced? The sexy automobile can be virtually yours for a mere $US60, when Atari and Eden Games release Test Drive Unlimited 2 this September.
A glamorous, raven-haired beauty clad in a slinky dress wanders through a showcase of the world’s most expensive vehicles, her high heels clicking on the tile floor. I’m that raven-haired beauty, and one of these cars will soon be mine.
A couple of interior shots made their way into the latest set of screens for Eden Games’ Test Drive Unlimited II, showing of interiors every bit as sexy as the colorful candy shells they inhabit.
Maybe it’s just me, but the word “cock” gets plenty of action in this instalment of Ben Croshaw’s Zero Punctuation. I suppose Alone in the Dark and man parts just go together. Seeing as the word is not often associated with excellence, you shouldn’t have any trouble guessing what Croshaw thought of Eden Games’ survival horror title. Oh, and Atari gets smacked around as well.

And no word on when it will actually arrive. In an interview with VideoGamer.com, Nour Polloni of developer Eden Games says the game is “not performing as well on PS3 as we hope it is in terms of frame rate,” and they’re holding back the title in order to give PS3 players their money’s worth.
“We didn’t want it to come out and have less of an experience for the PS3 gamer,” Polloni said. “We wanted to tweak that up and make sure they get the best experience on PS3 as much as possible.”
Alone in the Dark for PS3 will be the same content as the 360 and PC versions but will still be “worth the wait.” Those two consoles plus the PS2 and Wii versions will drop on June 24.
And, interestingly, he got real cagey about multiplayer possibilities in this franchise.
It’s out in June and Atari has organised our Limited Edition bundle. I couldn’t be happier – I’ve been waiting for this game since I saw it back at E3 2006. You know, when it was still worth going to.
Perhaps the most exciting inclusion in the LE is the Edward Carnby figurine. Okay, it will be the most exciting inclusion as long as it doesn’t turn out to be made by the same company that does toys for McDonalds’ Happy Meals.
Also tossed in the box is the soundtrack, art book, documentary and game (duh).
Hit the jump for the full release.
Someone at Eden Games has a thing for Keanu Reeves, don’t you think? It’s as if they buffed him up, renamed him Edward Carnby and plastered his face all over the European Limited Edition for Alone In The Dark for the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. He’s on the cover of the Official Soundtrack CD, the Making Of DVD, and splashed throughout the pages of the bound art book. Hell, they’ve even included a figurine of Neo Carby for you to play bullet-time with in the bathtub. It’s all wrapped up in a rather nifty looking box that will completely fail to fit on the shelf with the rest of your game collection, securing it a cherry spot above your mantle. All I can say is whoa…I hope we get something similar stateside. Not to sure about the game but I love having boxes of Limited Edition stuff lying around. galleryPost('aitd422', 3, '');
