Originally, today would have seen the legal battle between Activision and Double Fine Productions enter the court room. However, the two did not begin trading legal punches today, as the Southern California judge presiding over the case has delayed proceedings until next week.
For those who don’t remember or are out of the loop, Acti is suing to block the release of Brütal Legend this coming October, claiming they still have the publishing rights despite having dropping the title. Double Fine then filed countersuit, claiming breach of contract and that the publisher wanted to quash the game’s release because it represented a threat to their Guitar Hero franchise.

Maybe they should change the name to "Brütal Leġend."
Just like the various Rays Pizza in NYC, or Steven Colbert.
