Telegames has revealed JV Games' FPS for GBA. Third time's the charm....
Telegames and JV Games has announced the third FPS for the handheld. Although somewhat remnicent of Doom, this title seems quite promising--it even has textured ceilings and floors (despite what other developers say.) The atmosphere is quite refreshing, too--instead of hailfire and brimstone, this game seems to have more of a sci-fi feel to it. Go over to IGNpocket if you want some pictures of the baby in action.

If you needed any more reason to believe they've moved to Gamecube ...
Electronics Boutique is returning pre-order monies for Eternal Darkness and Dinosaur Planet, saying that the games have b een cancelled.
However, it's been pretty well assumed that the games have just been moved to Gamecube, a fact that has seemingly eluded the retailers.
While our contacts refuse to confirm that either title is now slated for Gamecube, we've got it on pretty good authority that this is, indeed, the case.
