Previews: Chessmaster is coming…
June 13th, 2007 by scott topicI recently posted about my desire for Chessmaster on 360, and it looks as though Ubisoft is going to meet the challenge to some degree. Gamestop currently has a listing for Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition for Xbox 360, with a release date in September. While this isn’t concrete evidence, these types of things are typically a good indication that someone, somewhere, with some authority told Gamestop that this product would be available on this date. Portable versions, on PSP and DS are listed to come out later in September. Could my cross platform internet playing dream become a reality? I doubt it, but I’m excited at the possibilities these products bring to the table.
Oddly, there is no mention of a PS3 or Wii version. Chessmaster has existed on several older Nintendo consoles, and on each of its handhelds, and it has also appeared on the Playstation in the past. Perhaps this time around, the Sony console will get the enhanced edition of the game at a later date, unlike the last time around when Chessmaster PS2 seriously was lacking in comparison to later released Chessmater Xbox.
