A UK reader has mailed Maxconsole in to let them know that the Official Playstation forums keep closing threads regarding Warhawk issues. Petitions are not allowed on the official site, and Icognito have left their fanbase in the lurch despite clarification that they are aware of problems some days ago. The respective reader has set up a petition in which he describes the game as being released to the public full of bugs and essentially those who purchased the game are acting as the second layer of beta testers which is unacceptable practice.

We are trying to get support for answers. The forums keep closing off threads, petitions are not allowed apparently on the official playstation site.

Incognito have left us all in the lurch. I dont want the game to die, please help us get some answers.

Sales across the board were quite interesting this week. Compared to last week, hardware sales were up significantly, and the three current generation consoles (Wii/PS3/360) saw pretty big shakeups in their top ten software for the week:

1---Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
2---Bioshock
3---Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
4---Wii Sports
5---Madden NFL 08
6---Blue Dragon
7---Warhawk
8---Lair
9---Wii Play
10-Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08

-Metroid Prime 3 had a much better launch week than Metroid Prime 2 did - 314k vs. 139k. This is even more impressive considering GC had 2x as many users in November 2004 as Wii has now, and that Prime 2 launched in November, while Prime 3 launched in August. If Galaxy and Brawl show the same type of generation to generation growth (2.25x better sales), then Nintendo is going to make alot of money.

- PS3 is approaching respectable Americas (US,Canada and a bit extra) sales. If it can do 55,000-60,000 a week for a while in the Americas, the business ecosystem of PS3 will improve quite a bit - at least in the West.

I want to reassure everyone that while we *have* been quiet these last few days, it is NOT a sign that we are off on some tropical island somewhere...we are hard at work on the big issues.'

Some Playstation 3 users across forums boards including Gamespot are reportedly having issues joining Warhawk online games because all the ranked games are constantly full and so are mostly all of the unranked ones. This means that most gamers spend an average of 15 minutes before you can join a game.

With all the videogames released each and every month, it can be a difficult task to decide on which title to spend your hard-earned money. Granted, you could always go by our review scores alone and weed through the long list of names to find something that scored high or low, but what if you had somewhere else to turn?

Rather than wait until the end of the year for our big award blowout, we've created this monthly tribute to the weeks that were. The entire PlayStation Team has come together so that we can tell our readers what we thought was the very best game for each system last month... and why. Though some of us often chime in with our comments at the end of reviews, for the most part, the reviews on IGN are primarily written by one editor. In this feature we had every editor on the channel vote for a single title. What better way to represent a team is there than to speak your collective minds?

Warhawk is a remake of a flight combat game of the same name; released as a launch title on the original PlayStation. The remake is multiplayer-only, with the ability to take control of planes, tanks, and jeeps. Though the game was initially to have both single-player and multiplayer modes, the single-player was scrapped because developers decided that it was vastly inferior to the game's mutiplayer component.

Now, many people were hoping that it would be released at midnight, as it was in the US store...

However, many were disappointed, and rumours sprouted up that it would be released at 5pm GMT.

However, as of 10:01 AM WarHawk is out in the European stores, I can confirm this as I am downloading now.

Just to let you know that the wait is over!

Source goes to the official website so you can find out more about the game...

Warhawk hit the PlayStation Store yesterday and the positive reviews have been pouring in. Our review is coming as well, but in the meantime PS3fanboy.com wanted to post there early thoughts on Incognito's impressive shooter. Even after there relatively short play time(5 hours), they feel confident saying that this is one of the most addictive online experiences you can have on the PS3 -- or any console for that matter.

Well¿after staying up way too late last night playing, I'm here to say that Warhawk is LIVE and available on the PlayStation Store AND at retailers across the country!

I'd also like to extend a request for feedback regarding the game setups that we're currently running on the Warhawk Sever Cluster. Do you like the configurations? Do you want to see more CTF? More ZONE? Higher point limits? Etc. Let us know.

Warhawk, Sony's latest PlayStation 3 game, is available now from the PS3's digital download store. But gamers hoping to share the $40 game with their friends should know that Warhawk is for them alone.

While every other PlayStation 3 downloadable game can be shared with up to five PS3 machines, the online-only Warhawk doesn't have this feature. There's a warning in the game's description on the store that says it will only be playable through the PlayStation Network account that purchased the game, and only on one machine in any 24-hour period.

The arrival of a certain underwater adventure from 2K Games seems to have finally provided the jump start 2007 needed in terms of banishing the woeful summer months and delivering a decent range of retail choice for the (incredibly patient and) discerning gamer.

The cream of this week's crop arrives in the form of a certain armour-clad heroine courtesy of Nintendo. Yep, sweet Samus makes her first appearance on the Nintendo Wii for the final game in the long-running Metroid series.

Warhawk and Lair? In the same week? Potentially. A lot of websites are showing the US release date has been pushed forward to the 30th of this month. It could easily be the case that whatever problems they had with the game that originally had it pushed back could have been solved early.
