During the Comic Con 2010 being held at San Diego, the guys from Blizzard have released a series of artwork and a trailer that are worth taking a look at.

We won’t be saying much else, but simply leave you to the images and trailer, reminding you all that StarCraft II should be launched in a few days, more precisely on July 27th, for PC and Mac OS.

Enjoy!

The guys from Tweakers.net managed to find an interview where Folkert Langeveld, Sony Computer Entertainment Benelux’s Marketing Manager says that he’s certain about the development of a sequel to LittleBigPlanet, and also about its full compatibility with the newest motion controller from Sony, the PlayStation Move.

We’re still labeling as rumors until we hear some words directly from Sony or from the guys at Media Molecule, but they would confirm rumors, some even found on the Official PlayStation Magazine, that said that the guys from Media Molecule would be working on the sequel of the famous game that became quickly a favorite of critics and players.

We’ll stay tuned.

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.

It’s now official: Rock Band will have a Track Pack dedicated to one of the most famous rock groups in history: Queen. The songs will be available on the XBox Live Marketplace. According to what was published by Major Nelson, there will be ten tracks and we’ll list them all by the end of this post.

The track pack will cost 1280 Microsoft Points for the whole pack, or 160 per song. We question the choice of some of the titles, as there would be better songs to be featured, but it does make us wonder if a dedicated Rock Band title wouldn’t be a good idea in the case of such an important band in the history of music.

* “Another One Bites the Dust”
* “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”
* “Fat Bottomed Girls”
* “I Want It All”
* “I Want to Break Free”
* “Killer Queen”
* “One Vision”
* “Somebody to Love”
* “Tie Your Mother Down”
* “Under Pressure”

It seems Electronic Arts doesn’t want to waste any time, and only a couple of months after The Sims 3’s official launch, they have announced the first of perhaps many expansions for the third chapter of their Life Simulator, called World Adventures.

As the title hints at and with the first images showing an Egyptian scenario, the expansion will bring the Sims around the world, somewhat like mini Indiana Jones. The places that the players will be able to take their Sims to, according to the official note from the publisher, are China, France and Egypt, where the Sims will be able to take part on new adventures and challenges, meet new people and learn more abilities and culture.

The game is scheduled to launch on November 16th.

The mystery about Green Day: Rock Band has been solved. It seems that there won’t be a specific version dedicated to the American band, but instead, downloadable packs with three songs each. The first should be available on July 7th, and it will feature the songs “21 Guns”, “Know Your Enemy” and “East Jesus Nowhere”.

Other songs will probably be available soon, but there are no specific dates.

The Sims 3 was expected to sell well, of course, as the third chapter of the famous life simulation series was one of the most hyped titles int his period. But Electronic Arts has published the sales information about the first week of the game in the market.

It was launched last June 2nd for PC and Mac, and it reached the number of 1.4 million copies sold worldwide, becoming the best-seller of PC games during the first week for all EA games.

The game’s success is also clear on the numbers of additional contents created and downloaded by users, which arrived to 7 million during the same week.

The official Guitar Hero 5 American website reveals that the game will be launched on September 1st in North America. No official dates for Europe have been confirmed yet. In the meantime, we’ll post some of the details that have been leaked so far:

- “Band Moments”: bonus that can be obtained by playing a specific series of notes together with the band
- 85 different artists, with more than 25 that have never been part of any videogames
- The game will be more intuitive and functional.

Knowing the enormous success that the series has, the Electronic Arts people have announced that The Sims 3 has reached it’s “gold” stage, and released a few new images as well.

Before you start thinking of the number of expansions that EA is planning for the third installment of their social simulation, we’ll leave you to the new images and remind you all that The Sims 3 is scheduled to launch next June 5th for PC and Mac on its main version (there are plans for an Ipod Touch and iPhone versions as well).

Activision has confirmed to Joystiq that Guitar Hero: Van Halen is being developed and it will be launched during the second half of this year.

There’s no confirmation on the tracklist, that should probably feature the most famous songs from the group, plus a few guest stars such as Queen, Weezer, Blink-182, The Offspring, Queens of Stone Age and more.

We’ll keep tuned for more information.
