Digital Illusions, the developer of the extremely popular Battlefield franchise, has been bought by no other than EA. The developer will be working on (surprise, surprise!) Battlefield 2142, as well as future Battlefield games for PC and next gen consoles. Whether you think this is a good idea or not, discuss it in our forums.

While I was browsing the net for a change, I stumbled across this hilarious [url=http://www.worth1000.com/cache/contest/contestcache.asp?contest_id=11213&display=photoshop]website[/url].
Ever wanted a Final Fantasy XXX, Rock, Paper, Scissors by EA games, or perhaps Halo Kitty? Well, check the link for those and other hilarious boxarts of games that will most likely never be made.
Though denied in the past, it has been confirmed that Oblivion will be coming to the PS3 and PSP. The PS3 version will have 10-20 more gameplay hours, a new faction (Knights of the Nine), and other fun stuff. It is most likely a launch title as well.
Nothing is really known about the PSP version, though it will be hard to imagine the content and beautiful visuals on a handheld… we shall wait and see.
There are three new pictures from the PS3 version of the game (complete with 1up watermark):

Personally, not only do my fingers hurt from typing, I am speechless of the amazing games Microsoft is able to present to us. Congratualtions. More to come later!
Halo is becoming an RTS. Ensemble Studios, the folks responsible for the Age of Empires games will be bringing the Halo univervse to the PC, set during the time of the first conflicts between humans and the Covenant. Release is unknown, and is coming exclusively for the 360.
Peter Jackson, the producer of the Halo movie and director of movies such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, supposedly likes Halo so much, he recently created Wingnut Interactive. This company will be bringing us downloadable episodic content (to be developed with Bungie), as well as a mysterious brand new game.
So Halo fans, the next few years will be a good one for you. Multiple Halo games and a movie coming out, what more could you want?
