God of War series producer David Jaffe directed some sharp words to a "lame ass website that shall go unnamed" on his blog, after said site reportedly posted commentary regarding his decision to delay the release of Calling All Cars. Jaffe earlier confirmed in a NeoGAF discussion board posting that he would be pushing back the official release of his latest title, a downloadable game for the PlayStation Network, in order to fix bugs and address issues highlighted in pre-launch reviews. Calling All Cars was previously scheduled for a May 3rd release.

A certain game website equated Jaffe's decision as a last-minute effort to keep the game out of the proverbial bargain bin, and Jaffe responded harshly to this. Incidentally his tirade was also part of a blog post where he reveals that he will lay low for the time being as a result of his own industry commentary, perhaps until July when he is ready to announce new projects.

But for the time being, I'm going to go dark. My stylings have upset some folks within the biz I care very much about and that I can not live with. For me, it's always been silly, stupid fun...you know, giving what I get, talking like alot of folks on geeky message boards do, trash talking,etc. But I guess some folks have taken it to heart and that's not cool for me. End of the day, even the folks who spew much venom my way, I probably would like very much in real life. As I've said before, we're all geeks and if you can't get along with a fellow geek, then what's the point.

Ok, that's it. I will be back soon with an announcement and the next stage of this blog (and my life!) I'll post the news- assuming it all happens as planed...you never know- sometime this summer. I'll keep ya'll posted as the blog will remain open. Nothing set in stone, but the hope is to let you guys know what is up sometime in July.
