Battlefield 1943 Release Date

If I had a wish granted for my birthday, coming in mid-June, that would surely be to get a 120-hours day, or to have time stoping for a few months. The reason should be obvious, but if you're one of the new PlayerzBlog readers, I'll say it again - I missed a bunch of games so far, and I am talking about that kind of games one shouldn't miss, so...it all becomes clear - I don't want hardware, I don't want any new games, I just want the time required to catch up!

Here's my greatest obsession of mine when it comes to gaming - World War 2. Should I say it once again that Panzer General 2 is the best game I have ever played? Whoops, I just said it! Well, these being said, let's leave all these behind and move to another great WW2 themed game, Battlefield. In fact, we're talking about an entire franchise here, and today the time has come to find out the Battlefield 1943 release date...

According to DICE, its Battlefield 1943 downloadable online multiplayer shooter will arrive on the PlayStation network, as well as on Xbox Live Arcade just in time for my birthday. Oh, yeah, sorry - you have no idea when my birthday is, right? No need to know, it's enough said that the Battlefield 1943 release date is the 15th of June. The rest of it is history.

Heh, don't worry, I won't live you staring at the sun, because there are only a few points of interest that need to be highlighted: US Marines vs the Imperial Japanese Navy, 24-player battles fought in locations like Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.

There you have it, brave marines! It can all be yours for only $15, or 1200 Microsoft points...and a serious slice of your free time, you can be sure of that! :)

Oh, yeah - one more thing - while the console versions will arrive right in the middle of June, as I said, PC gamers will have to wait until September. Just don't ask why...
