Asura's Wrath was supposed to be released on February 24 in the UK, however those going into their local gaming retailer now won't be able to pickup a copy. Asura's Wrath has been pushed back two weeks to March 9th. Capcom made this decision apparently because of "the uncertainty of the UK retail market" referencing some of the trouble the retailer GAME is reportedly going through right now. I know a lot of people were off put by the QTE heavy demo that was released for Asura's Wrath, but I actually recommend keeping an eye on this game. Some of the previews for it make it sound like it might be one of the more original titles to be released this year. There is constantly changing gameplay mechanics that can go from QTE, to on rails shooter, to fighting game. In fact one preview called the game closer to the style of Heavy Rain than God of War. I am hoping this game turns out to be the Catherine of this year, a unique video game experience that we may never see again. Here is the trailer from GamesCom 2011: http://youtu.be/q1ug1a6gVl8
