Midway Games announced today that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will be available from retail stores in North America on November 16th, 2008, and Europe on November 21st, 2008. On those days, gamers and comic book fans can grab a copy of the highly-anticipated pairing of some of the iconic characters from the DC Universe, like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and The Joker, battling against video game icons Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Sonya and more.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The latest Firmware update for the PlayStation 3 has been released, updating the console to version 2.50.

The new Firmware includes Flash 9 support, an ingame screenshot capture tool, bluetooth headset support, and more. You can see a full list of changes here.

We are downloading this update right now and it's going at a good speed.

After the recent confusion over whether or not Prince of Persia will support the ever-popular trophy system on the PlayStation 3, we can finally confirm that it will. Much has been made about the potential of rewarding players for their actions, and it's fair to say that the majority will rejoice about this.

Many major sources may have led us to believe that the Prince was to return without an award in hand, but the latest build from the Tokyo Games Show 2008 enables us to believe otherwise. It seems many of the early trophies are based around new gameplay mechanics that allow the player to get into the rhythm of the Prince's new flow.

In an interview with MTV Multiplayer, WoW director Jeffrey Kaplan hinted that the future MMO the guys are working on could touch on consoles too.

He dismissed the idea of World of Warcraft making a home outside the PC saying he doesn't think it "would really work that well on the console". At least for now.

PlayStation boss Kaz Hirai has said that providing the industry performs well to "generate excitement" then studios will remain relatively unaffected.

This fall and winters line-up is definitely something to get excited about. Oddly Hirai first admits "price becomes more important" but then resists PS3 cuts.

We gamers and our fellow pundits don't value our video gaming visionaries all that much according to Epic's Cliff Bleszinski.

Unlike the film industry he says where if you make a bad film then you go to "movie jail" for a term, if you "screw up once" in gaming no one likes you ...ever again. Natural selection?

Kotaku reports that Hideo Kojima has told Famitsu that he might unveil his latest game at the next Tokyo Game Show.

Kojima said: "Until the end of this year, I have my hands full with Metal Gear Online, but at next year's show, I think it's okay that I should be able to announce something."

Another year to wait until we find out what Kojima has up his sleeves, unless it somehow leaks out of course.

In an interview with AusGamers, Prince of Persia animation director David Wilkinson has praised Alex Drouin, responsible for the animations in Prince of Persia along with Assassin's Creed, and in doing so he revealed that Drouin is working on the sequel to Assassin's Creed.

Wilkinson was asked about what Drouin is up to right now, and replied with: "He's busy making Altair even more beautiful. Last thing I saw him do was getting Altair to swim."

CVG reports that Silent Hill: Homecoming will no longer be released in Europe during 2008, instead it will be available next year in February.

Localisation has been labelled as the blame for this delay, although it has been out in America since late last month. While some think that the delay may have been made due to the average reviews that have been appearing from the US press, and Konami might be taking this chance to update the European version with improvements.

THQ have not confirmed a release date for the PC version of Saint's Row 2, although the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will be coming out on the 17th of October, and some retail chains list the PC version for the same date, were as others list it for November.

So we decided to ask THQ about a release window for the PC version, and they told us that no date has been given for the PC version, so they couldn't comment on it being delayed.
