Updated as we get more information (see below).  For Part 2 click here.

We get some game announcement that attracts our attention, or perhaps some images or video footage, and then the game simply… disappears?  The most famous example in gaming, of course, is Duke Nukem, but there have been a number of titles this generation that have ‘gone walkabout’ as we say here in Oz and I’m hoping that some of them reappear at this year’s E3, now less than a month away.

Is vaporware increasing due to economic pressures? Interestingly not one of the following games is a sequel.  So, here are 12 of the games gone Missing In Action (MIA) but feel free to add to the list in the comments section below the article.

New Aussie IP for 360 – Edge Of Twilight

Australia’s Fuzzyeyes Studio working on its first IP for “This-Gen” platforms.

The likes of Team Bondi from LA Noir, The Getaway, Mechanicx who’s fame lays with creating all of PGR’s wonderful car models for Bizarre Creations (PGR2-4) to name but a few, and now this budding group, who previously created an interesting PC titles called Hot Dog King A Fast Food Empire, are working on a Third Person Fantasy Adventure title called Eye Of Twilight.

Set in a post-apocalyptic period where both day and night have been torn apart, and biochemically enhance creatures roam the world looking for victims – naturally.

Based around 5 characters, the main one being Lex, a halfbreed who can travel between the two realms of Day and Night. Then there’s Athern Guard, Majestic Lithern, Tainted Warrior and Tainted Bruiser. You’ll find their specific details on the website as well as some downloads and further information. What follows is the developers description of the game, so sit back and take a look at yet another great adventure story heading to the Xbox 360 and PC.

A quick run down can be had over at GameSpot. (more…)
