Monster Madness ps3 delayed

Southpeak has announced that the Playstation 3 version of Monster Madness: Grave danger has been delayed, with the new expected release date to be September 2008.
Grave Danger was expected as early as April, but has hit numerous zombie-shaped bumps along the road to release.
Monster Hunter launched on the Xbox 360 last summer and was met with a mixed reception, the lack of co-op play didnt help the top down shooter at all.

The ps3 version is be rethought though and will feature online co-op play as well as 25 player multiplayer modes.

GTA4 hits 8.5 million

Take Two have revealed that Grand Theft Auto 4 has sold over 8.5 million copies already.

Released little over a month ago, GTA4 has been running rampant in sales charts around the world, selling 2 million units in its first week. Having shipped 11 million units and sold 8.5 million, GTA4 looks certain to hit the 10 million milestone mark soon, an achievement that less than 10 games have achieved this millennium, the last one to achieve it being Call of Duty 4 which we reported on earlier this week.

As well as this, Take-Two have announce that Bioshock has shipped 2.2 million units, with a ps3 version hitting shelves this year that figure is set to increase.

KOTOR 3 being made by bioware

An ex Lucas Arts employee has spilled the beans on details on a number of titles in development, including Knights of the old republic, which is being developed by Bioware.
The source has told Kotaku that he is one of 75-100 employees laid off in a massive shake-up yesterday, including the producer of the Lego Star Wars and Indy titles.

As well as the KotOR 3, the ex-staffer spilled the beans on production going ahead with Battlefront 3, a new (non-Lego) Indy game (although we knew about that) and a Wii lightsaber game.
As this is an EX member of Lucas Arts dont expect to see any official conformation of this any time soon, however, fans will be very happy to know its happening.
