Remember last weekwhen associate producer Ryan Hamlyn said the upcoming PlayStation 3 titleLairwas finished, even going as far as to say it was in manufacturing? Psych — just kidding!
It appears that even Hamlyndidn’t see this one coming, as the game’s release date has been pushed back to September 4. Blame it on the leaderboards and in-game medal system, says Hamlyn.
Of course, this delay doesn’t have anything to do with the fairly poor review scores the game received in the latest issue ofElectronic Gaming Monthly(the game received a two 5.0 scores, and a third opinion of a 6.0 out of 10). The overall concesus was that the game’s controls leave a lot to be desired, withEGM‘s managing editor Garnett Lee calling the highly anticipated title a “frustrating disappointment.” Ouch.
