As reported from Eurogamer, Capcom has confirmed that two of their developers from Japan will be unable to attend a special event in London for Monster Hunter: Tri tomorrow. Instead, Capcom will call upon the services of two other members of the team who will be on hand to give out goodies to the first 100 people arriving at the GAME store in Oxford Street.

If that wasn’t bad enough, we can also confirm that a special Alan Wake event that was scheduled for this Saturday at the Broadway cinema, in Nottingham, UK has also been cancelled. Sam Lake is a writer for the upcoming thriller and was due to attend the event, but can’t catch a flight from Finland to the UK.

So in a space of a week, the volcano and it’s best friend – the ash cloud, have managed to cancel three pretty important gaming dates. Let us know how you feel about that.

As reported from Newsider, the app is free to download from the Ovi Store and is designed to give you the latest travel updates regarding the airspace in and around Europe. Flights are still subject to change as we speak, so you should find this app very useful if you are stuck at an airport or plan to travel in the next few days.

The updates will be coming directly from the NATS (National Air Traffic Service) so you can be ensured that the information you receive on your phone will be official. You’ll also find various links and phone numbers to airlines if you need them.

It is available to download now, let us know if you have any problems regarding this app.

As reported from Pocket-Lint, Sean and Natalie Murtagh were due to catch a flight to the UK from Australia to meet relatives for the big day, but were stranded in Dubai due to the ongoing chaos involving flights in and out of Europe.

However, hotel staff in Dubai saved their day, as they equipped the hotel lobby with a three-tier wedding cake, Skype and a huge projector, meaning that family back in the UK didn’t miss a thing.

While this is one happy ending for the couple, it looks as if those of you planning to go on holiday this week, may still face further disruptions as the ash cloud settles above the skies.

Let us know your thoughts on this.
