We saw a story appear this morning on the internet which caused quite a string of excited profanity to flood the Towers. We had a little discussion about whether or not to share that story as the source wasn’t a confirmed one.

We decided that the story needed a bit more checking before we ran it. So, we got in touch with a source of our own and it appears that the story is correct. Starhawk, the much anticipated follow up to what some still consider to be the PlayStation 3′s best online gaming experience (Warhawk, if you’re wondering) has been given a retail date by GAME stores.

What is that date? February 4th 2011. That’s less than two months away. Whilst this retailer scheduling is not confirmation of a date, it is a reasonable stab at when they expect to be able to gear up their pre-order displays and sales pitches. I can barely type with the excitement.

Weeeeeeeeeeee. It’s safe to say that whether this is true or not, the mere mention of Starhawk has made me giddy like a schoolgirl.

Bloody hell. Beings it’s on GAME’s release schedule it will be a full retail game, and not just a download then.

Hopefully StarHawk will be making the rounds at the VGAs.

  ditto! Warhawk remains the most fun I’ve ever had playing online. I’ll never forget my first epic flag capture…

Hopefully its available as a digital download as well, my lazyness has been a large factor in clocking up over 500hrs on it

  500 hours!? Woah! That’s both impressive and worrying.

  It does seem odd. There are a ton of great games launcing in Q1 next year. Mass Effect 2, DC Universe Online, Killzone 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Dead Space 2….
