Ubisoft has delayed three of its key titles for 2008 in order to bolster its strong fiscal 2007 financials by reducing short-term development costs.

If it means they aren't rushed peices of crap then so be it.

Truth is UBISOFT knew they had no chance of competing in November/Q4 2007 so they looked for a quieter gap to release them

After a year of such strong releases, publishers staggering game releases really isn't a bad thing. I've still got to finish Bioshock!

cool good news as far as im concerned, more development time also gives us time to complete the older games

big surprise! it should be expected by now that games most are interested in will be delayed 2 or3 times
before final release. I don't like it but thats the way the mop flops.
