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.

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.

If you live near or in San Francisco and have some free time on your hands tonight, you may want to head over to San Francisco's Apple Store to watch an hour-long demo of the full game of Spore (PC, Nintendo Wii, DS, Mac, and Mobile), as hosted by Will Wright. The full details after the jump!

The game industry may be getting swamped with sequels, remakes, annualization, and all manner of money-raking tactics. That's bad news, an analyst says, because creativity among developers is often compromised. He says, however, publishers are better off in the long run by breeding talent among the minds behind the medium. Get his full take in the article after the jump.

Okay, so this is definitely not new. Since it was introduced years ago, Spore (PC, Nintendo Wii, DS, Mac, and Mobile) has often been thought to be one of the games to bring new blood to the saturated PC gaming market by way of being the segment's best seller once it's released. But Electronic Arts just wants its investors to know that the company's feeling optimistic about the sim-strategy title, and Michael Pachter predicts more or less of the same.

Few games for the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo Wii, the PC and Mac are as anticipated as Spore from Will Wright's crack team of developers over at Electronic Arts. It'll still be a hefty wait before we get our hands on it, but at least we've got the devs on hand to talk about it. Watch the video interview after the jump!
