Developer Xdev has announced a new patch is "incoming" for the PlayStation 3 exclusive Crash Commando, addressing some niggles and enabling Rumble pad action.

It tackles "a couple of things" the team has noticed since launch says producer John McLaughlin. The Heist Map Pack now unlocks properly when purchased within the game store.

Game Informer recently revealed that its latest issue will confirm the development of Disney's Epic Mickey, although it originally said that this would be a Wii exclusive, but has now altered its teaser page and removed the claim.

Could this be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360? If it does then we assume that it will take advantage of the new motion tech coming to both consoles, but we'll find out more on 28th October when a press event is held to reveal the next game from Disney.

Last month at the Tokyo Games Show, it was revealed that Resident Evil 5 Alternate Edition would be with us before long.

The title includes new content and also works with Sony's PS3 motion controller, with the team "evaluating what they can do for 360 players as well".

Konami today revealed plans to revive their 16-bit Rocket Knight series on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Konami producer Tomm Hullet told 1UP, "The idea is that there haven't been any games these past 15 years simply because Sparkster hasn't had any adventures."

Visceral Games could be working on a Jack the Ripper game as its third title, according to trademarks and sources close to EA reports the LA Times.

The firm is currently working on Dead Space 2 and Dante's Inferno, so it's likely that this Jack the Ripper game won't be released until sometime in 2010 or 2011.

SCEE Studio London producer and Creative Art Director Nicolas Doucet has revealed that Eight Days and The Getaway 3 haven't been completely cancelled, but have in fact been put aside.

Original reports confirmed that both titles had been cancelled so the developer could put all its efforts into EyePet and SingStar, but will development on these games continue once EyePet is released?

SCEA president Jack Tretton said that he "couldn't be happier" with the recent sales boom that the PlayStation 3 has received since the price-cut and PS3 Slim were introduced at GamesCom.

"Skyrocketing sales, couldn’t be happier with the numbers that we’re seeing, and I think proof that there was tremendous consumer demand, they were just waiting for the price-point to come down" said Tretton.

According to a former EA employee, the new Medal of Honor game will be set in modern times.

The CV of Micah Lapping-Carr, a production intern at the developers between June 2008 and August 2008, states there is a "modern combat" game under the MoH name.

The news spurting from Fanfest in Reykjavik over the weekend suggests that CCP's upcoming console MMO Dust 514 won't charge players with a monthly subscription.

Instead, the game will use micro-transactions via the virtual items marketplace.

Bioware has announced that a Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator will be released on October 13th, giving PC users the chance to design their characters in anticipation of the game's release in November.

"What we have managed to do is get the awesome BioWare dev dudes/dudettes to break off the Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator from the main game so you can download it as a separate application to your PC," explained BioWare community coordinator Chris Priestly.
