With Fall settling in, you can expect the usual bumper crop harvest of annual sports sims to come our way. One of these titles include Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, which has been confirmed to be released this October 17 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC. Find out more about the upcoming game in our full article.

With Vin Diesel starring as the lead in The Wheelman (PC, Xbox 360, PS3), and Midway collaborating with Tigon Studios to deliver the finished product, it's no surprise that expectations are rising high, and the stakes, too. It doesn't hurt as well that Tigon Studios is founded by the Hollywood star himself. Read up after the jump.

Who among you didn't read 15th century novel Don Quixote when it was assigned by your English teacher at school? You're not alone because we skipped that one as well (it was far too long!). Anyway, Spanish video game developer Revistronic is giving us another chance to catch up on our readings.

Because you see, the development studio is currently working on title Donkey Xote to be released on PlayStation Portable (PSP), DS, PlayStation 2 (PS2), and Games for Windows (PC) platforms. The game attempts to re-tell the true story of the infamous knight of La Mancha through the eyes of Rucio, Sancho Panza's donkey.

There are still no details known about the project but the official site of Revistronic has these teaser statements, "In this new story we face the challenge of meeting Dulcinea. For that we must participate in an adventure that will bring us from the calmness of Sancho's house, to the jousting tournament in Barcelona."

Revistronic is also developing title Project Witches for next-gen consoles and PC platform.

 

Straight from Barcelona, Spain, an official press release from Microsoft Game Studios revealed that an MMO game themed by the comics world repertoire of Marvel Entertainment is now under development by Cryptic Studios. Marvel Universe Online, which should be available for Xbox 360 owners and Windows Vista PC-goers, will sport interconnectivity play over Xbox Live and Live for Windows, bringing the MMO fans of the PC and fans of the Microsoft next-gen console closer together.

"The vision behind the alliance of Microsoft Game Studios, Cryptic Studios and Marvel is to expand the MMO genre and create an epic gaming experience exclusively for Xbox 360 and Windows Vista gamers to experience together online," Frank Pape said, who's senior director of business development at Microsoft Game Studios.

With MMO veteran developer Cryptic Studios at the development helm, the exclusive team-up of Microsoft, Marvel and Cryptic will attempt to deliver "the best possible experience in Marvel Universe Online." The World of Warcraft-killer we've been searching for, perhaps?

You may know Cryptic Studios for their hit MMO games City of Heroes and City of Villains, which are also superhero-themed like the Marvel MMO should be. Bringing in monsters, villains and Marvel superheroes to your favorite gaming platform, the MMO is expected to bring out the uniqueness of the Marvel IP.

When is it coming out? It hasn't been announced, but expect it to be a long way off from 2007. Still, with an MMO looking to rival that of Fury's graphics, it's definitely worth the wait.
