EA's nefarious plan to put the James Bond-baddie shooter into stores nationwide comes to fruition.
Bad is the new good, apparently. Nearly two months after VU Games released Evil Genius, a PC sim which cast players as a Dr. Evil-esque criminal mastermind, another game which casts players as the villain has been released. Electronic Arts announced today that it has unleashed GoldenEye: Rogue Agent into unsuspecting stores nationwide. Available for all three major consoles, the game will retail for $49.99. A DS version is due out next year. Before it was announced, word leaked out that EA was developing a new GoldenEye game. At the time, everyone assumed it would be an updating of the N64 GoldenEye, which is still considered one of the best first-person shooters of all time.

"Natural challenges with finalizing all the key features and localization issues across worldwide territories have led to the difficult choice of pushing back the release date," SCEA said in a statement, "in order to ensure that Gran Turismo 4 lives up to the exacting standards of the 36 million-plus fans worldwide that have purchased previous versions."
The delay leaves egg on the face of Sony, who only last week held a high profile party in Tokyo to celebrate the "completion" of the game, and which previously removed the much-vaunted online functionality from the title in order to ensure that it came out in time for Christmas.
There's some speculation that this fresh delay - which may also have a knock-on impact on the launch date of the European version, which had already been delayed into Q1 2005 - will give the firm time to reintegrate the online component, but Sony has so far not commented on this possibility, and is still officially planning to launch a separate online-enabled Gran Turismo product later next year.
