The game is slated for a 2011 release in Japan, and should hit shelves in North America and Europe "next winter." Still no release date for Versus XIII; glad they have their priorities straight. :(

Just because the inspiration for the books comes from Middle-Ages-Europe, doesn't mean they are human, doesn't mean they live in Middle-Ages-Europe, and doesn't mean they are the same as humans from that time and place. If you are arguing that there wouldn't be any dark-skinned hobbits because...

I'm with Whedon - just leave things well enough alone and stop half-assing the creative process. Come up with a new idea to make into a movie for once. If Congress thinks it's worth their time to have hearings about steroid use in professional sports, then they should take five minutes and...
