    Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint not-a-sequel, Dragon Rising, was originally slated for Summer 2009. Judging by the newest trailer, released today, that dragon is proving harder to rouse than Codies previously estimated. At the end of the new "Skira Island" video -- which, by the way, is unusually mellow until the blowin'-up-tanks part, a "Fall 2009" date is given. For a (guess at a) more specific date, we looked to retailers. GameStop lists the game's release date as September 1, while Amazon lists September 30. We've inquired about an official date with Codemasters, but until then, we can guess that it's somewhere in the "September" area.

    Codemasters is avoiding the holiday rush by releasing several of its titles this year during the sleepy summer months (and for this, we thank them). The Overlord sequel, FUEL, and a little game that caught our eye, Jumpgate Evolution, all drop during low-pressure sales months. Codies will release DiRT 2 much closer to the holiday insanity: DiRT 2 - September (X360, PS3, Wii, PC, DS, PSP) FUEL - May (X360, PS3, PC) Overlord II - June (X360, PS3, PC) Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - Summer (X360, "PlayStation system," PC) Jumpgate Evolution - June (PC) The original DiRT was a gem for race fans and FUEL looks interesting, but whether Overlord II receives the polish the first one was lacking is the real question (and hope). Check out the Overlord II trailer after the break.

    Today, Codemasters revealed that the sequel to Operation Flashpoint, known as Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, will release to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this summer.To help build excitement for the title, Codemasters put out a tech demo video that takes a look at what's under the hood of Dragon Rising's EGO Engine. Even though the developers express an understandable bias towards EGO, treating it as if it were the Holy Grail of gaming engines, it's actually quite an impressive piece of tech. Watch for yourself.
