The dev of the upcoming title Sacred 2: Fallen Angel might be in some trouble. I just posted the release date for Sacred 2 a few days ago and now the dev is filing for bankruptcy protection. What will this mean for Sacred 2 in the long run?
Voodoo Extreme found out the inside scoop on a bankruptcy protection filling by Sacred 2 developer Ascaron Entertainment in Germany. VE got the following statement from the firm's director, Heiko tom Felde:
On Tuesday, the 14th April 2009, the German Ascaron Entertainment GmbH went into administration at the regional court in Bielefeld, Germany.
Ascaron sees a good chance of saving the company with this step of action. We, the executives of Ascaron Entertainment GmbH, thank all our fans for the support and the great assistance in making Sacred 2 Fallen Angel as successful as it is. Our special thank goes to all our employees. Without their highly dedication and qualified work Sacred 2 would not exist.
We are also proud to announce that we finished development of the Sacred 2 Playstation3 and Xbox-360 versions. Both will hit the shelf in may 2009. We wish you a great gaming experience and hope you enjoy all the features of the console versions.
We will keep you updated about the further development. The server and services of the Sacred 2 multiplayer and the Securom product activation will of course continue as usual.
It has been some time now since a new 360 bundle has landed and apparently Microsoft knew it, so to round us up to date Microsoft has put out one hell of a 360 Elite bundle and you need to act fast since this bad boy is "For a Limited Time".
GamerScoreBlog reports: Beginning in May, fans can enjoy the premium experience of Xbox 360 Elite with two highly-acclaimed Xbox 360 exclusive games, including “Halo 3,” the thrilling conclusion of Master Chief’s epic fight against the Covenant and “Fable II,” the masterful role-playing sequel with limitless choices and consequences. These two Games of the Year award winners combined with an Xbox 360 Elite console make this offer the definitive choice for anyone who wants a complete gaming and entertainment experience. The Xbox 360 Game Of The Year Bundle will be available for a limited time and will come at no additional cost, estimated retail price at $399 (U.S.).
In addition to providing two of Xbox 360’s biggest blockbuster titles, the Xbox 360 Game Of The Year Bundle provides an incredible value with 120 GB of storage, a wireless controller, a wireless headset, an HDMI cable and a free Netflix trial. With the broadest selection of exclusive blockbuster games and the most robust catalog of TV shows and movies available from Netflix, now is the best time to own an Xbox 360.
For all the Fallout fans that helped to make this game a huge hit there is some real good news for you here, with a growing trend in games getting there release date pushed back lets hope this one stands solid.

We have 3 new screenshots for the upcoming Xbox 360 Exclusive "Risen" from developers Wizardox and Piranha Bytes. Click the links to view the latest images on HQ.
Risen is a RPG game for Xbox 360 which has been in development for the last two-and-a-half years, and is due out sometime around September/October 2009.
The epic role playing game is set in a medieval world on a volcanic Mediterranean island, The Risen story unfolds over four chapters and will offer multiple ways to develop the story by his own actions and decisions. An innovative and intuitive user control interface will support both casual and hardcore gamers. With full world streaming support, the player experiences no tedious loading of areas while playing in a fully simulated game world with authentic characters.
One of my favorite fighting games of all time is now coming to the XBLA. Fans of the series should be jumping for joy with updated graphics of this classic game.
An updated ESRB database has revealed Capcom's plans to bring its number one arcade hit, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 to Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360. The game has received a "T" (for Teen) rating.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 pits Capcom's legendary characters and Marvel's world famous super heroes against each other for dream matches of epic proportions. The game features more than 50 playable characters. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 also delivers new innovations with real three-on-three tag team matches and numerous modes of play.
In 2002, the game was released for the Xbox and it included all the features from the arcade version. We expect the XBLA version to take advantage of 1080p visuals and other Xbox 360 features.
Fans of the Hack and Slash style of gameplay should love this game. From what I have seen of the game it looks like a Rpg style Ninja Gaiden 2. Not too shabby.
