PS3 Child of Eden pushed to September
Know what’s tons of fun? Huh? Well, yes, Child of Eden probably fits that description. But we’re talking about something abstract and ineffable. All right, yes, Child of Eden could also be described using those words. We, however, are looking for the term patience. And hey, PS3 owners, aren’t you lucky? You get both to have both – whether you want to or not. IGN‘s reporting that Child of Eden’s PS3 version won’t be dropping until September. Sorry, folks. It’s like they say: that’s the way the flower-like organism with a Japanese girl’s face inside crumbles.

Duke Nukem’s long-overdue return may be “so 3.45723 seconds ago” for hardcore gamers, but his once-adoring public isn’t quite so in-the-know. The solution? This commercial. Or rather, an edited take on this commercial, because this version would probably require that your TV be replaced by a giant, permanent censor bar. Or, in simpler terms, strippers! Explosions! Yeah!
Check out the full, uncut thing after the break, courtesy of GamesRadar.
