Heroes
Due to the shows declining popularity on the NBC Network, Ubisoft has decided to drop the project of a Heroes game being developed. You will not get a chance to play with 15 plus different characters from the show as we all would have predicted. Does this mean no more Heroes as a whole?

Rumor has it, GTA IV Episodic Content could run as much as 1600 Microsoft Points when it’s released next year. The Lost and Damned DLC has been announced to release sometime in January. As far as the DLC some details were given by Rockstar. “Making these episodes has enabled us to expand the narrative and the experience of interacting with a game world in really innovative ways,” said Rockstar’s Sam Houser. “We hope fans of the game enjoy the new way of experiencing life in Liberty City contained in this first episode.”
Electronic Arts Possible Cut
There are rumors that due to the economic crisis and also from poor acceptance of past Need for Speed Games [from gamers] and lacking sales figures, EA is considering canceling one of the two planned development studios, or even worse, closing the franchises entirely. What has also been said is that EA plans to give Criterion the rights to develop future NFS titles. Although nothing has been officially confirmed at the moment.
