European PS3 launch line up revised

Europe's PlayStation3 launch this Friday will not see the release of F.E.A.R., Splinter Cell Double Agent, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, NBA 2K7 or Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, despite these five games being part of Sony's "launch period" line up, and expected to touch down alongside the next-gen console.

In addition - or should that be subtraction - only four Network games will be available.

Splinter Cell is now expected to launch on March 30th, NBA 2K7 on April 6th, F.E.A.R. on April 20th and Untold Legends and Oblivion following on April 27th, according to information given to GamesRadar by our local GAME outlet, and also confirmed by a representative of Play.com.

Blast Factor, Lemmings, Gran Turismo and Tekken 5 will appear on the PS Network this Friday. While, hopefully, flOw, Super Rub a Dub, Go! Sudoku, Go! Puzzle and GripShift will follow shortly - probably at the rate of one a week.
