For those who love Will Wright’s games, Electronic Arts seems to have decided to launch Spore and The Sims 3 also for the console. During the Financial report presentation, John Riccitello has confirmed the intention of bringing the latest chapter of The Sims and the monsters from Spore to the console.

Now all we need to do is wait to see which consoles it’ll be launched for, and whether the game mechancis will change or not. But in any case, we won’t know anything until the first trimester of 2011, which is the period chosen for the launch of these games to the Console.

GameTrailers have released a video that shows the first 9 minutes of Heavy Rain. We’ll show the video after the post, and it shows the first initial scenes where the player will personify Ethan Mars, a family man that was presented last GamesCom. Unlike many other initial minutes for other important games, this one reveals absolutely nothing about the storyline and the mystery behid the Origami Killer, but it shows the particular playability that this game can offer.

Heavy Rain is scheduled to launch on February 24th and it’ll have a playable demo on the PlayStation Store on February 11th. The game will also feature some DLCS, one of which will allow players to personify the Origami Killer himself.

The launch date for Heavy Rain was set for February 16th in the USA, but the European date wasn’t confirmed until today. And it’s official now, the game will be launched on February 26th in the UK and Ireland, and February 24th for the rest of Europe.

The news were taken directly from the European PlayStation.Blog and announced by the European Product Manager for Heavy Rain, Alex Pavey.

First of All, Evan has announced the arrival of a multiplayer demo before the game is launched, in a way that all PlayStation 3 users can have a glimpse of what some users managed to see with the multiplayer beta that finished last June 23rd. After that, he also announced a new Cinema Mode, thanks to which, players will be able to record movies of their own multiplayer matches, and watch it at a later time from different angles. It will be also possible to take screenshots and share with other users.

While we wait for more news, we remind you all that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is scheduled to launch in exclusive for the PlayStation 3 in a period that goes from the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010.

There is a new expansion coming for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, according to what was announced by Rare, through a series of new images and a video released on XBox Live.

The first expansion is called L.O.G’s Lost Challenges, and it will be available from April 7th for 400 Microsoft points, and it offers a series of multiplayer mini-games, new single-campaign chalenges, new cars created by users, a new Klungo arcade game and 250 unlockable Gamerpoints that can add to the initial 1000.

As we wait for an official release date for DC Universe online, at least something more precise than a vague “during 2009″ mention, Sony Online Entertainment gives us some new images and a trailer for the awaited MMO.
