Better practice your Klingon, Star Trek fans. It turns out that "first quarter of 2010" release window that Cryptic Games gave Star Trek Online was right on the money. The upcoming MMO has been confirmed for a February release in both North America and Europe.

Now here's some awesome swag you'll find hard to resist. How awesome? Try godly awesome. It's official - Sony has announced the Ultimate Edition as well as some pre-order bonuses for God of War III.

The backlash continues to rage against Infinity Ward after their announcement of having no dedicated servers nor mods to make way for the new IWNet system for the much-anticipated game's PC version. So far, try searching for its reviews online, and you'll see that it's garnered as much as 162 one-star ratings.

If you're itching to get your hands on the God of War Collection you pre-ordered, sorry, but you're gonna have to wait a bit longer. A week longer, to be exact. Online retailer Amazon has sent out a mass email to its customers informing them of the delay in the much-awaited game collection. More detail in the full article.

Hideo Kojima is one busy man, and it looks like he will be one for the years to come. He has two different games (three if you count Lords of Shadow) under his supervision right now, but he already has his eye on what he'll be doing after MGS Rising and his personal pet project, MGS Peace Walker. He also has a lot of downright weird ideas sometimes. Case in point: singing and screaming weapons in Peace Walker. Say what?

Like with what the UK stores did last week, Amazon slashed off US$ 5 to the PSP Go. Looks like although the launch of Sony's UMD-less handheld led the PSP sales to skyrocket the past couple of weeks, the retailer does not have enough confidence that it will be able to sustain it, hence their own price cut.

Good things are happening to the PS3. Sony's got high hopes for it, of course, and it looks like analysts concur, pegging it as the top dog in the September hardware sales charts. The gamers -- the lifeblood of the whole video game industry -- are also in for a treat. There's talk of new games, the impending arrival of Uncharted 2 and the new Ratchet & Clank adventure, and what's this? Resistance 3?
