Malice Officially Canned??? News

Has the original Xbox tech-demo finally been laid to rest...
Argonaut earlier announced a depressing set of cancellations for a number of its forthcoming titles.
The major announcement regards the cancellation of publishing duties from Vivendi Universal on the Xbox and PS2 adventure Malice.
Xbox fans will fondly remember the title as it was used to demonstrate the formatās strengths before itās release. At the time the game was under the publishing duties of Microsoft Game Studios, however numerous delays weakened their interest and soon the game fell under the hand of Vivendi Universal who confirmed a Playstation2 version was also in the works.
We originally heard whispers from last year that Malice wouldnāt make it; the most preposterous of which suggests Argonaut are holding off and taking it to the Xbox 2! However the news today makes it look very unlikely that the game will ever see the light of day, Argonaut have been given the option to look for another publisher however at this stage of the day weād say thatās looking very unlikely.
Further reports have claimed that Argonaut have also canned Orchid, itās cell-shaded third-person action/adventure, originally scheduled to be published by NAMCO. Whilst we only saw a little on the title, itās fair to say that the lack of innovation was a stumbling block; in fact itās believed Argonaut wanted to change the formula substantially but that NAMCO wouldnāt fit the extra bill.
Rather disappointingly itās been claimed that Argonaut or Microsoft Game Studios havenāt commissioned Just Add Monsters to develop a sequel to the enjoyable āKung-Fu Chaosā, after the game failed to meet its sales expectations ā“ whatās up people, this game is definitely worth your attentionā¦
Weāll have more news on the situation as it developsā¦
