Article Body: The PlayStation console won't be released until late this year but there are already rumors doing their rounds about it and the PS games. The report about Theseis is one rumor that perhaps confused even the most devoted player. Developers and publishers, as well as game sites, have been coming out with their reviews, release dates, and other news about the latest PS games for the past months. The hype about the PS's Blu-ray increased expectations about the games; a game rumor, though confusing, was not unexpected.

Let me refresh the events that fueled the rumor mill. Track Games, the developer of the popular adventure game Theseis for PC and Xbox , allegedly called the people behind PS Land to announce an important news. The announcement? The development of PS Theseis was consequently cancelled due to high development costs for PS games. The article that PS Land published even quoted Vicky Valvanos, managing director for Track, saying that Theseis development would resume if Sony offers the company some assistance.

This bit of news has spread among Internet gaming sites and blogs with webmasters and forum moderators picking up the threads. Debates also ensued regarding the production of Theseis as one of the PS games. Apparently, no gamer noticed that there wasn't any announcement or news during the recent E or on the product lists about a Theseis software for PS. A probable reason for this was the fact that Theseis appeared on several retailers sites as a PS game. Track, however, did not recognized the existence of these catalogues.

This is the point when everything became confusing. Track didn't recognize the Theseis games on the retailers' sites but they called PS Land to announce that PS Theseis was discontinued? Track tried to clear up the issue by saying that the bits about canning PS Theseis and Theseis development were just jokes. The company even called the PS Land article "erroneous". As of now, PS Land updated their article on PS Theseis with the new article from Track. But the confusion about the PS games came from Track. According to them, there was no Theseis planned or developed for PS, but what about the announcement they made to PS Land? Was there really an error, or was it just a joke said in passing that got blown up into big proportions?

A misunderstanding between PS Land and Track is a probable cause, although the question of what they talked about remains. Surely, there was some reference to Theseis, otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared in the article. There was also a number of retailers' database that showed Theseis as one of the PS games. Clearly, someone started it and the knowledge about Theseis lies solely with Track as Sony didn't include the game in its repertoire during the recent E. The most probable cause, I think, is that Track wanted to develop a Theseis software for PS. They let out that bit of "joke" to test the market and the demand for their game. In my opinion, they did this, also to bait Sony into thinking that a Theseis is a good addition to their games. Anyway, whatever the reason behind this, the market for PS games is a big one, and I can't blame anyone for wanting to exploit this lucrative business.
