Mr. T, the tough-talking mohawked icon of badassery, is apparently getting his own video game thanks to ZootFly. That's not all. The game puts him on a mission to save Will Wright from a horde of evil Nazi mechs in South America. No, I'm not kidding and I'm not on drugs.

It's all business this week as we've got some of the hottest updates for some of the hottest upcoming games on all platforms across the board. Big industry news as well, and a lot of other surprises. Speaking of surprises, though, the QJ staff had quite a number of our own surprises for you avid readers out there. In case you missed it, too bad. But you don't have to feel bad about it much longer, cos we've got it all bundled nice and warm for you here in our QuickJump QuickPeek issue #67!

It's final. Will Wright, creator of The Sims franchise, is leaving Electronic Arts. This was confirmed on Wednesday by Mr. Wright himself, leaving a heavy shadow hanging low over EA's front lawn.

Kojima's so good at what he does that he only needs one lifetime to get his second lifetime achievement award. Word has just gone out that living legend Hideo Kojima will be given this high distinction at the 2009 Game Developers Choice Awards.

The Sackboys seem to have played the role of "voice of reason" for Spore creator Will Wright. Would you believe he has been snubbing Sony's PlayStation3 all this time because no title has piqued his interest enough for him to purchase one? That's all about to change now, though, thanks to LittleBigPlanet.

After all the delays and the setbacks, publisher Electronic Arts has finally raised the green flag on its upcoming life simulation game, Spore (PC, Nintendo Wii, DS, Mac, and Mobile), and is ready to ship the much awaited title by next month. The company earlier announced that Spore has finally gone gold is now currently in the manufacturing process. Check out further statements issued by EA after the jump.

Although the team behind Spore have taken a lot of steps to make sure they don't tread on any religious people's toes, they're taking some flak from an unexpected front: "militant atheists". More in the full article.

It's like even before Will Wright's Spore releases, Electronic Arts keeps shoveling more and more moolah into the vault. Someone definitely did something right by getting IKEA involved in the latest expansion to The Sims 2, because the brand-approved luxuries tucked away inside every twenty buck box managed to overtake every PC retail game offered in the US. The full top ten list follows at the full story.

Next up from Electronic Arts is their flagship project of the year: the next big thing, some people say, to the best-selling Sims franchise. Spore looks to be shaping up perfectly for the September release, as constant media updates from E3 speak of polished, high definition graphics and striking visuals. But we won't just let hearsay keep the anticipation up - Will Wright himself and the folks at EA's booth have tendered several media presentations all for our viewing pleasure. Let 'em rip at the full story.

With the 10-year plan EA's got tucked in their minds for their latest simulation-strategy game, Spore (Wii, DS, Apple, Windows), it comes as no surprise that they are likening it to their original simulation-success story, The Sims. Find out where's this confidence coming from at the full article.
