Shipping Out - March 2 - 4, 2009
You’ve heard everyone talk about Halo Wars and maybe you’ve even played the demo but this week you’ll be able to go to GameStop or Best Buy or wherever the hell it is you buy games, and pick up a copy. No more second hand accounts for you, my friend. Another strategy game, Empire: Total War, hits the PC this week as well - along with a fancy collector’s edition for those that have extra money during these hard, hard times.
Also out this week of general importance three new baseball games for various platforms, Tom Clancy’s HAWX, Tomb Raider Underworld for the PS2 (which I suspect will sell better than other platforms) several SpongeBob games (you know, for the kids), Sonic and the Black Knight and the promising Phantasy Star Portable.

Brash Sued by Two Development Studios
While the fat lady may have sung on Brash Entertainment, that doesn’t meant there’s not still plenty of fallout. The company is currently being sued by not one, but two game developers in Los Angeles Superior Court over alleged nonpayment.
The first lawsuit, filed back on October 30th by California-based 7 Studios claims Brash failed to pay it $581,000 for its work on two video games, Six Flags Fun Park and 9. 9 was to based on an upcoming animated feature film by director Tim Burton. Meanwhile, Six Flags Fun Park, for the Nintendo Wii and DS, was nearly complete when Brash decided to exercise a clause in its contract and cancel the game without cause in early October.
The second lawsuit, filed by Slovenian game developer Zootfly on Friday, alleges that Brash owes it $748,000 for work done on a video game adaptation of the Fox television show, “Prison Break.” Brash gave that game the axe at the end of September.
Brash (or what’s left of it at least) has been silent about recent issues. There’s been no response to inquiries about the status of its lingering licenses, and no comment made about these recent lawsuits.
