In occasion of the 2009 Comic Con edition currently being held in New York, Electronic Arts has released new interesting videos about Spore: Galactic Adventures, showing a lot of the new innovative features that the first mega-expansion of Spore will bring.

The new videos (courtesy of IGN) show the mission and planet editors, that make it possible to expand the space stage of the game. Without further ado, we’ll leave you with the videos, reminding you all that the Galactic Adventurers expansion is scheduled to launch this Spring.

Enjoy!

One of the things that many players of The Sims wanted was the possibility of scarying their virtual citizens. Shacknews has published some images of The Sims 3 that show a possibility of giving the characters a “vampire look”.

However, the look is restricted to the appearance, really. There will be no vampiric abilities to those characters. We remind you all that The Sims 3 is scheduled to launch on June 2nd. In the meantime, take a look at those screenshots!

The announcement made by Electronic Arts leaves no room for doubts: in order to experience the new things that The Sims 3 has to offer, we will need to wait until autumn. Initially scheduled for next February 20th, EA has decided to postpone it to a vague “Autumn 2009″, not giving any reasons for the delay: even though the game’s almost completed, instead of postponing it to March or April, it’s possible that EA has decided to push it towards a more financially-friendly period, which is the one preceeding the Christmas season.

We still hope that EA will change their minds, as the launch period for the title isn’t definite as the company has admitted. In the meanwhile, we’ll keep the launch date for The Sims 3 for autum this year, for PC and Mac OS-X

Updated: After some users contacted us wondering if this was simply a rumor or not, we have noticed that Eurogamer.net has published an article about the matter with a quote from EA as well, confirming the postponing of the launch date at least for now. The full article can be read here. We will be waiting on a more precise communication from EA and as soon as anything new comes up, we’ll let you all know!

After having invaded the iPhone and Nintendo DS screens last year, the Spore creatures are ready to spread their civilization (or war) seeds to the Nintendo Wii as well. But not only.

Through a press-release on their new official site, Electronic Arts has in fact talked about some of their projects regarding the world of Spore. Creature Keeper for PC and Hero Arena for Nintendo DS will be managing games somewhat like Nintendogs, aimed to a younger crowd, while Spore Hero for Nintendo Wii will be an adventure that will use the peculiar features of the Wiimote and Nunchuk.

Those titles should be available by the end of this year, and we’ll bet uned for a more specific launch date from EA.

The most faithful LittleBigPlanet fans might have noticed that Media Molecule has interrupted the series of updates for the PS3’s social game, which used to be launched in a weekly basis. The Christmas pause is over, however, and the updates will continue very soon: from January 22nd on, to be precise.

This is, in fact, the date chosen by LittleBigWorkshop for the arrival of the next additional content, that will apparently feature “a lot of new stuff, returning stuff and big surprises”. A patch to correct some issues that came with the version 1.07 should also be released.

After mentioning it upon the launch of the Cute & Creepy Parts pack, Electronic Arts has again talked about the first true expansion for Spore, called Galactic Adventures.

The more recent news, however, do not release any details about added gaming areas, but it’s known that some of them will be interplanetary trips and missions centered on the “galactic” nature of the expansion. The only true piece of news is the release date, or more specifically, period, since EA hasn’t mentioned a specific date, rather a somewhat vague “Spring 2009″.

More information should most likely arrive by the end of the month, during an event that has been called “2009 Spore lineup”.

According to what was reported by several users on the official LittleBigPlanet forum, the outfits inspired on the Metal Gear Solid saga are creating several problems.

The bugs that were found go from the deletion of contents created locally or downloaded through PSN and stored on the hard disk, to the loss of game progress in the single-mode campaign. It didn’t take long for players to swarm the official forums with their complaints.

We hope that Media Molecule will be able to solve the issues as soon as possible. In the meantime, click here to go to the official forums.

Only a few months for the launching of the game, and Electronic Arts has already launched a new video and new pictures for The Sims 3, trying to guarantee the same sucess to this new chapter as for the previous ones.

There’s not much to say about the game that isn’t already well known: in its first chapter, it became famous as the most purchased videogame for PC in the history, repeating the success with the second chapter. It’s useless to comment any further on a game series that is already famous and loved by many fans.

And it’s for these fans that EA dedicates the video that can be seen below. The video shows the graphics that will be present in the game for PC and Mac OS-x on February 2009.

You can also find the pictures in the end of this article. Enjoy.

The Playstation Blog has officially announced  the arrival of additional contents for LittleBigPlanet based on Metal Gear Solid 4. It also has published some details and videos.

The new material will arrive in the form of outfits and level packs next December 23rd, at least in America, but it’s easy to suppose it’ll arrive in Europe too. The price will be of $1,99 for each one of them and $5,99 for the whole pack. The sackboys will be able to dress up as Solid Snake, Meryl Silverburgh, Screaming Mantis or Raiden.

The true big new addition will be the level pack containing new game levels and many elements for their own home creation, including stickers, objects, but more importantly, the Paintinator: a weapon that gives the sackboys unexpected new potential, as it can be seen from the video below.

Sony has decided to give a free outfit to all LittleBigPlanet players for Christmas, obviously inspired on the Christmas theme.

With the mini-packet downloadable from tomorrow, besides the buyable Street Fighter outfits, players will be able to dress their Sackboys as Santa Claus, with two different stages: first, the classical red suit, and on December 18, users will be able to use the hat, moustaches and beard for a full dress-up in Christmas theme.
