A trusted source (the same who provided us with early knowledge of Lucidity and NBA2K10 Draft Combine ) has just informed Joystiq that Tecmo’s planned Tecmo Bowl update for XBLA is also coming to PSN. Dubbed ” Tecmo Bowl Throwback ,” the game is a remake of the NES classic, complete with HD graphics and an updated soundtrack — it also retains the original plays and team stats. And for those of you who fear the fancy-schmancy graphics of high-def games, Tecmo is also including an option to play Tecmo Bowl in its original state. There’s even team customization, ensuring your lifelong dream of creating a horribly out-of-shape and uncompetitive Joystiq team is a real possibility. While we were hungry for more news, that’s all our source could provide.

What’s the best way to improve upon a suit that basically imbues its wearer with super powers? Give him a giant, badass robot to pilot instead — and that’s exactly what the MechWarrior: Living Legends mod for Crysis does. This full conversion mod transforms the game into something almost unrecognizable, complete with a unique story, mixture of first-person and sim gameplay and, more importantly, so so many giant robots. If you’re looking for some more information on the ambitious mod, check out the official FAQ and clear some HDD space

“Yes, there was an issue with the original download,” a Sony Europe spokesperson has told Eurogamer . Said issue, which rendered PAL digital copies of Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines dead on arrival , was rectified by replacing the PSP file on the European PlayStation store — though this came at a cost to those who had already been greeted by the defective copy’s never-ending loading screen. According to the spokesperson, “It was pulled from the store and we are issuing replacement codes for those people who purchased the content before 12PM GMT on November 20.” Developed by Griptonite Games, Bloodlines follows the protagonist of 2007’s Assassin’s Creed , complete with 3D free-running and an Altair native control scheme.

” Deus Ex 3 is going to be the first project which will be a concrete product of joint effort between Square Enix and Eidos,” said Stephane D’Astous, general manager of Eidos Montreal. Not to be confused with that other first collaboration between the two, the devs in Tokyo will take care of any CGI cutscenes in the upcoming threequel , while D’Astrous confirmed to Edge that the duty of putting together enticing trailers and the game’s intro cinematic will also fall on the CGI-smiths at Square Enix. D’Astrous says Square Enix was excited to contribute, also expressing interest in Thfourteeneff . It should provide a nice change of scenery for Square Enix, though we’re sure it’ll find a spot to squeeze in a silver-haired, effeminate hero or three.

GamesCom is a ginormous show. Just to give you an idea, we took a brisk walk through the complex, which came out to a total of 26 minutes. What you won’t see in the video (which moves at a much faster pace than we did!) is the business center, where many of our meetings were held, and the southern side of the complex where GDC Europe occurred. We’ve placed a map after the break, complete with a Family Circus -style map highlighting our route.
