With Hurricane Sandy bearing down I’d expect you to have other matters on your mind, but on the off chance, be advised, via Kotaku, that midnight launches for Assassin’s Creed 3 have been cancelled in areas likely to be affected by Hurricane Sandy. Call ahead if you’re unsure whether your local store is staying open, and if you really must get hold of a game you’ll be unable to play when the electricity goes out, Kotaku also notes that some vendors have broken street date in compensation for the cancelled launches. (Also, Kotaku’s inaccessible from my desk right now; let’s blame Sandy for that, too.) Stay safe, friends.

I can see the headlines now:

"People killed in hurricane while buying game. Clear link between killings and video games found"

"Video Game Launch caused hurricane Sandy" :D

probably won't pick mine up until Wednesday...

You've obviously never been in a category 1 hurricane..

that = moderately strong topical storm winds... CAT 1 hurricanes have much stronger winds than what you see in that video.. that was an approaching CAT 1 Hurricane that hit my area..
