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.

This week's edition of MCV reveals that there are two new bundles coming the way of Xbox 360 fans, and these will reportedly involve Star Trek and Transformers 2.

There's no denying that some of the most addictive games out there are MMOs. But if you find it frustrating that you can't have them on your beloved PS3 and Xbox 360, blame Sony and Microsoft. According to Star Trek Online captain Craig Zinkievich, the two publishers don't understand console MMOs, making it difficult to bring the games to their respective systems.

A date's been set for Bender/Helper Impact and Paramount Digital Entertainment's multiplatformer offering, Star Trek: D-A-C. Well, a month at least. Game features will include all-new content such as new ship classes, variable AI settings, and new game modes, plus stereoscopic 3D compatibility on PC.

Sony is bringing another revolution on the go as they announced a new digital reader application for the PSP during GameCom. This new service will allow PSP owners to access a wide array of media content and will kick off this December with Digital Comics.

Last December, Cryptic Studios packed up and moved in with Atari and Infogrames, in effect turning over all of their proprietary IP, tools, technology and even WIPs to their new parent company. Inside sources are now alive and abuzz that part of the turned over WIPs would be an MMO version of Neverwinter Nights.

Terminator: Salvation producer Dan Lin has rights over the next Tomb Raider movie, and from what he says, it's going to be a reboot. Oh don't act all surprised - we heard earlier that the new movie will be getting a fresh start. More details on this though: the way Lin describes it, Lara's new movie - an origins-type of movie - won't be full-on action but will go deeper into the character. Kinda like Dark Knight, perhaps? Well, what ever the case, you can definitely scratch Angelina Jolie from the role - they're looking for someone younger.
