Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Just over a year ago Konami and Cartoon Network revealed their intentions to bring us Metalocalypse: Dethgame, an Xbox LIVE Arcade title based on the cult animated series Metalocalypse. Since then we haven't heard much about the title, but the reason for this has finally become clear: Metalocalypse: Dethgame has been cancelled.

"In light of creative differences, Konami Digital Entertainment and Cartoon Network are no longer working together to publish Metalocalypse Deathgame," Konami told IGN. "The two companies are still committed to a long and productive game development partnership as we just launched Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of Hex for XBLA and WiiWare." 

So, thrashing heavy metal thunder has been replaced with Ben 10. It's a sad day for metalhead gamers everywhere.
