Rumor has it that Electronic Arts will be adding more people to its list of cut employees. The target? Pandemic Studios.

Tech blog Digital Foundry reports that sources "intimately involved with the alliances and deal-making within their sector" have effectively confirmed that Nintendo and nVidia are teaming up for the next DS. The report also mentions that Sony has formed an alliance with IMG for the PSP2, which is expected to be a "technological monster." While neither devices have been flat-out confirmed by both groups, Digital Foundry tosses around some tentative tech specs for the next generation of handheld gaming supposedly leaked by industry insiders.

Almost buried in a deluge of shovelware and games with "Imagine" in the title, Cing's Hotel Dusk: Room 215 was a surprisingly well-written and well-executed adventure game for the DS. If you loved the original, you might want to start praying that this sequel rumor turns out to be true.

It seems IO Interactive is keeping quite busy these days. They already got two games in the pipeline -- Hitman 5 and Kane & Lynch 2 -- and now reports are suggesting that there's another new IO title on the way.

A Nintendo error code spotted on the official Nintendo customer support site has seemingly confirmed that a DSi Speak Channel is in the works. More after the jump.

It looks like Nintendo is readying the next generation of DS  with the help of nVidia. According to reports from Bright Side of News, the company has already started to work on the next iteration of the handheld gaming console that will debut sometime next year.

It's been a while since we've heard of any industry-related job cuts, and for some time back there, it looked like everything was getting back on the right track. Then we get this. Square Enix Japan is being rumored to be getting ready to bring down the axe on some 200 to 300 jobs in their company.

First, a disclaimer: this is just a rumor, so get your saltshakers ready. All set? Okay. Rumor has it that Microsoft is gunning for a takeover of video game publishing giant Electronic Arts.

Now that GRIN Studios has officially turned their shop's sign to CLOSE, rumors are cropping up that one of their shelved titles was an action title based in the Final Fantasy world... Say what?

Is Faith leaping off to other platforms specifically to the Wii, DS and PSP? We've heard of the game getting a sequel, but not this. Unseen64 is reporting that Electronic Arts has commissioned Backbone Entertainment to create a demo of Mirror's Edge (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) for the aforementioned platforms. They even have a screenshot of the alleged Wii demo. Check it out at the full article.
