Kotaku's dumped a slew of EA rumours this morning, starting with the Dead Space franchise

The publication claims that the publisher is looking at "new ways to expand" the survival horror space series, and has a first-person shooter in the works. But apparently, that's not all. The publisher also has a Dead Space flight game in development — presumably a downloadable twin-stick shooter..

The official Battlefield 3 Twitter account has announced plans to launch the latest edition of its client update on PlayStation 3 tomorrow

PC players received the same update last week, which improves a variety of issues with the game across single-player and multiplayer. We've listed the full extent of the fixes after the jump. Feel free to moan in the comments if your favourite exploit has been..

EA has deployed a brand new trailer for Battlefield 3's upcoming Back To Karkand DLC pack

The footage focuses on the Gulf Of Oman map, and puts a big emphasis on vehicular combat. Boom, boom, boom. The DLC's set to launch next month. Hit the jump to check the map in action. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py3s8RjZ6KY

The original Dante's Inferno suffered from releasing about a month before God Of War III

The game looked fantastic at first, only to be made look average by Sony Santa Monica's successor. But we're big fans of the "God Of War genre" as a whole, and so we'd be happy to see a follow-up in developer Visceral's slash 'em up series. If evidence uncovered on writer Joshua Rubin’s blog is..

Barcelona forward -- and all around footballing genius -- Lionel Messi has been announced as the new global face of the FIFA brand

Messi was previously the poster boy for Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series. He was replaced by Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo earlier in the year, prompting rumours that EA had snapped up the Argentinean striker. Messi's first project will be promoting next year's..

After a messy month or so culminating in a class-action lawsuit, EA has announced that it will give Battlefield 3 players on the PS3 a free copy of Battlefield 1943 as originally promised

The bonus was announced earlier in the year at E3, but was mysteriously absent from retail copies of the game. EA said that it was offering PlayStation 3 players a window of exclusivity on all Battlefield 3's DLC..

We know you're probably excited about the prospect of learning more about Bioware's next game

But seriously, put a lid that excitement for now. There's nothing to see here. Spike's released a new teaser trailer for the game's impending announcement that includes about three seconds of footage at most. The full thing will be revealed at the VGAs on December 10th. The video shows a tank firing a..

Sigh

Sometimes things go to far. And this is an example of that. Law firm Edelson McGuire has filed a class action lawsuit against EA regarding the removal of Battlefield 1943 from PS3 copies of Battlefield 3. Those with strong memories will remember the additional incentive was promised during Sony's E3 press conference back in June. But only recently we found out that the added extra was not..

If EA Sports was hoping to play on nostalgia with its latest SSX reboot trailer, then it probably shouldn't have used a remix of Run DMC's "It's Tricky" to score the teaser

On the other hand, if it wanted to make all the hip kids of tomorrow "totally stoked" about its new ultra rad snowboarding game, then mission accomplished. We imagine the publisher's aims fell somewhere in the middle..

GameStop's dropped the full skinny on Mass Effect 3's chunky Collector's Edition, which will be available alongside the main game for $80

The special edition includes: a premium metal case, a 70-page hardbound art-book, a limited edition Mass Effect comic, a fabric N7 patch, a 4x6 lithograph of the Normandy, and a bunch of digital in-game content. Sounds like a solid deal, we wonder what Commander..

Man, we wished we could do some of these tricks

EA Sports' latest FIFA Street trailer offers 80 seconds of pure, unadulterated showboating. And it's awesome. Catch it after the break and turn green with envy.

Whoops

If you're one of the "hundreds of offending" Battlefield 3 cheaters then don't expect to hop online for a quick game this evening. Chances are your account has been blocked and all your statistics with it. EA has said it has "zero tolerance" for those exploiting the game, and is "determined to punish the players who play without integrity". Unfortunately,..

EA and Sony's tight-knit partnership continues to reward PlayStation 3 owners with additional goodies

The publisher's taken to the PlayStation Blog to announce seven Need For Speed: The Run vehicles that are exclusive to the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Exclusive rides include the Lexus LFA, Porsche Carrera GT and Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. These will be joined by the Hennessey Venom GT,..

Microsoft's XBOX 360 continued its North American domination throughout October, leaving the PlayStation 3 sitting behind

It was a big month for multiplatform software, with Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City, NBA 2K12 and RAGE all appearing in the top five. Surprising, huh? Sony touted a 5% increase in software sales for the year, and also announced that inFamous: Festival Of Blood had become the..

Let's be honest, there are more than enough multiplayer shooters available on the PlayStation 3

But Blood Dust — a cancelled class-based shooter from shuttered developer Visceral Melbourne — actually sets itself apart by virtue of its eccentric 1930s backdrop. According to Kotaku Australia, the "run and gun experience" was in development for more than three years, and was packed with..

Water is wet

Fire is hot. And EA has confirmed Battlefield 4. After the staggering early sales reports for Battlefield 3, it was never in doubt that there would be another entry in the DICE developed first-person shooter. And that's exactly what EA's Frank Gibeau has announced upon the unexpected back-drop of a college campus. "There is going to be a Battlefield 4," the suit splurted,..

While we're still largely indifferent about the inclusion of co-op in Mass Effect 3, we know some fans are quite up on the idea

In fact we've read quite a lot of hopeful chatter regarding support for local multiplayer. Sadly for those anticipating couch co-op, developer Bioware's squashed the speculation prematurely, stating that the game's multiplayer will be playable online only. For now, anyway..

The launch for Battlefield 3 has been a rocky one

Servers have been up and down like a jack-in-the-box, with players left wondering if there is a fault at EA's end or elsewhere. In order to alleviate issues, the publisher has now set up a Battlefield 3 server status page — an online destination which alerts players whether the servers are officially running or not. As trouble shooting goes, it's..

If you've been following the multiplatform websites you'll know that Microsoft accidentally published a Mass Effect 3 beta to XBOX Live users over the weekend

While the red-faced platform holder managed to pull the content promptly, many were still able to download the file, and subsequently have bombarded the Internet with spoilers and unannounced details about the game. Obviously we won't spoil..
