Final Fantasy Versus XIII - PlayStation 3
Intended release on: PS3

Final Fantasy versus XIII. How sad it is that you made it into this list... anyawy, let's talk this game.
It was revealed along with FF XIII and a PSP game (FF XIII Agito? I just can't remember... or care).
There is lots of footage about it. Gameplay that show a combat style similar in many ways to Kingdom Hearts, and breathtaking pre-rendered cutscenes...
But, it's been a long while since any new info surfaced about this one.
Final Fantasy XIII did hit the shelves in 2010 and the PSP game also made it's public appearance already. We even got ourselves a side story on Final Fantasy XIII-2 and soon there will be Final Fantasy XIII Lighning Returns, and yet no versus.
This one fought versus the odds of being canned, and lost, it seems.

Game Genre: Action RPG
Concept Art: Soon

Highlander - PC Games
Intended release on: PC; PS3; XBOX360

Movie tie-ins... they're what makes video game industry grand, aren't they? No? Well... but surely making such a game based on a movie that just came to theaters (in the 80's...) sounds like a good idea. Nope too?
Well, don't worry, they did take the head of this one out. There can only be one, and it seems that Highlander wasn't cut for it...

Game Genre: Action/Adventure or Plain Action, depends on the source.
Concept Art: Nope, none.
Gameplay Video: Again, none...

InSane - PlayStation 3
Intended release on: PS3, XBOX360

After it's initial reveal, which consisted of a video basically showing us the game logo, nothing was told about this game.
It was cancelled by it's producer before we could know if we should mourn this game's demise or not.

Game Genre: Unknown
Concept Art: Nope, none.
Gameplay Video: Again, none...

Mars - PlayStation 3
Intended release on: PC; PS3; XBOX360

This one does have (had?) promise. After a long pause on any news about this game, in 2012 the gaming industry was shocked by the reveal that this game's name would become Mars War Logs.
After that, it fell in obscurity again. No... that's not right. This game is obscure in it's own right... it fell in absolute obscurity, with the oficial homepage being put down for months (Maybe the game was also "put down" in a mercifully, silent way?).
Curious about this one? Check the developer's website.

Ride to Hell - Xbox 360
Intended release on: PS3; xbox360

A long, long time ago, there was a reveal trailer, which showed us a biker, traveling the country, in the full glory of the 60's.
The gameplay reminded Grand Theft Auto (A PS2 GTA, mind you). Since than... nothing. Ride to Hell seems to have reached it's destination.

Game Genre: Action/Adventure? (Who really knows?)

Duplicate - PlayStation 3
Intended release on: PC; PS3; XBOX360

This game was developed by Activision, and though it had it's own mood and history, they decided to to cash-in using a well known franchise name, and so it came to be True Crime: Hong Kong.
They were way ahead in developement when this game was canned, never to see the light of day again, until Square-enix stepped in, bought the rights for the game and labelled it Sleeping Dogs (Which is one of the silliest names for a game I've ever seen...).
The game is good though, so kudos to Square for giving this one some CPR. They saved it's life in the nick of time.

Game Genre: Modern Action/Adventure
Concept Art: Soon
Gameplay Video: Soon

Sometimes, some games, just don't make it to the shelves, never to see the light of day. This list is intended to track some of these.

Just to be crystal clear though, games "Missing in Action" won't be limited to those that were publicly called clinically dead by their developers, but will also feature games that have been for such a long time in developement hell without any news after their reveal (or since last oficial update) that they might just be considered goners.

This list is a work in progress (and probably will always be be).
