THQ has confirmed to Eurogamer that the next instalment in the WWE SmackDown series will not be appearing on PlayStation 3.

A statement from the publisher reads: "The highly anticipated WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 is scheduled to ship for Xbox 360, PSP and PlayStation 2 in November.

"Consistent with our goal of delivering the highest quality content across all next-gen platforms, we have decided to postpone the debut of the SmackDown series on PlayStation 3 until the holiday 2007 timeframe."

In other words, they're by no means abandoning the PS3 altogether. SmackDown 2008 will indeed be available for Sony's next-gen console when the game hits shops next year. ...

At the Comic-Con held in San Diego last week, Marvel and Bungie announced plans to launch a new monthly comic titled Halo Ongoing.

As you might have guessed, it'll be based around the hit Xbox shooter, but that's all there is to report so far - there's no word on the comic's plotline, or on which artists and writers have been signed up to produce it.

Halo Ongoing is set to appear in shops later this year, following the release of the Halo Graphic Novel. As previously announced, the 128-page book will go on sale in the US this July, and its storyline will focus on the battles between the Covenant and the Flood. ...

We could probably build a small fort out of the boxes of all of the Tony Hawk's games released so far, but the franchise is still skating smoothly with new next-gen offering Project 8 hitting the park later this year.

This new Project 8 gameplay movie shows off the visually-pleasing next-gen version of the game, which, along with a brand new game engine, features pro skaters who've been stuck into proceedings using fancy 3D body scan technology. Along with this technical tomfoolery, Project 8 promises more goals, side-missions and mini-games than any other Tony Hawk game before. Let's hope it manages to breathe new life into the ageing series.

Tony Hawk's Project 8 skates in on PS2, PS3, PSP and both flavours of Xbox this autumn.

MS reveals the new Zune handheld, but will we get a slice of portable gaming action from the Redmond giant?

The ongoing saga of the Microsoft handheld has finally been put to rest over the weekend, with the Redmond giant finally confirming its development of the Zune portable music player.

Chris Stephenson, Microsoft's new GM of marketing for MSN Entertainment Business, revealed all - in an interview with Billboard - stating that the first project under the Zune moniker will be a portable music player and digital music service, set to compete directly with the current market leaders, iPod and iTunes.

No direct confirmation of any gaming functionality is our first major WTF! - as we'd been hoping J Allard's ultra-secret project would encompass this mighty world we call gaming from the off. However before we reach for our anti-despair pills, Zuneinfo.com has revealed that "additional Zune-branded devices will follow, including a portable video player and, potentially, a portable game device". Stephenson apparently would not comment on the videogame element of future Zune iterations - however, he did confirm that the inaugural MS music hub will use the much-discussed Wi-Fi connection for wireless Internet access.

With Wi-Fi a key component, future Zunes already have the foundation for multiplayer gaming just like the DS and PSP and - with Microsoft's ethos of compatibility across all platforms - the gaming foundation is there. "The ability to connect the different devices is a key part of the strategy," said Stephenson. "Whether it's a portable media device, or a phone, or the Xbox or Media Center PC, the idea is you can access your entertainment from anywhere."

Due to hit stores (Stateside at least) prior to Xmas, expect the mighty Zune marketing machine to roll out towards the latter end of the year. The focus at first will undoubtedly be music and video, but we'll certainly keep a close eye on any further gaming clues. However in the meantime, you can hold forth frothing and rampant speculation about what implications the Zune player might have for a future Xbox portable in the comments below. ...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, has been a seminal release on both PC and Xbox 360 this year, re-inventing the RPG for the next generation and re-invigorating a genre which had too few 'must have' titles to appeal to a wider audience. Well, as we reported in April, it seems potential PS3 owners won't be denied their share of the spoils either, with a new product page on US retailer GameStop listing a PS3 version of the game, with a launch date set for the sixth of November, confirming earlier whispers that the title would hit PS3 and PSP.

It's no real surprise, given Oblivion's success on other formats, but quite a delight to see it confirmed in virtual print (well if GameStop aren't whistling out of their nether regions that is). So what can we expect from Oblivion on PS3? Well naturally we've put in a call to Take-Two to try and confirm the existence of the PS3 version, but since they're not answering their phones this morning, we can indulge ourselves in a little harmless speculation.

There's almost certainly going to be downloadable content which has proved such a success on Xbox 360 but who knows if existing modules like The Thieves Den will be included or come as optional extras. More intriguingly, will it attempt to make use of that tilt functionality for some sword swinging action? Only Bethesda knows, but - for the moment at least - it's not saying. ...

Star Wars. Or how to kill nostalgia dead in three easy steps. Still, without dwelling on that particular bitter pill too much, fans of George Lucas' opus (hello? are you still there?) should be thrilled to hear that LucasArts has dropped a few more hints suggesting that a (much-rumoured) lightsaber game might well be on its way to Nintendo's Wii after all.

Speaking at Comic-Con in San Diego and reported on IGN, LucasArts' rep Steve Sansweet confirmed that the company has plans to bring games to all-three next-gen platforms, including the Wii, in response to a question posed by a member of the audience.

More intriguingly though, Sansweet referenced the fact that (as has already been noted the internet over) Nintendo's motion-sensoring Wiimote bears an uncanny resemblance to Star Wars' iconic lightsaber. Whether this means every budding Jedi will finally get the game of their dreams is anyone's guess - but with such comparisons coming straight out the gob of an official LucasArts rep, it's looking increasingly likely. ...

MotorStorm was one of the most controversial PS3 titles at E3 2005, with critics pointing to an FMV marathon which would probably bear little resemblance to the finished game.

However, a year and a bit down the line there's every sign that MotorStorm is starting to shape up rather nicely and could offer one of the premier PS3 racing experiences around the console's release this November.

You now have a chance to judge for yourself courtesy of a brand new trailer which has just revved on all cylinders to deliver some crunching indications of the off-road antics in store. All manner of souped-up motors, plus quad and trail bikes feature in this minute's worth of gameplay footage and there's even an articulated lorry if you want to deploy some seriously heavy off-road machinery.

The Darkness is Starbreeze Studios' follow up to the acclaimed Chronicles of Riddick and today, three fresh screens have slithered in to creep out our Monday morning.

In the comic-to-game adaptation, you'll take on the role of mafia hitman Jackie Estacado, who inherits a demonic power known only as The Darkness - which basically allows him to extend dark tentacles from his body and use them as weapons, or to reach things on very, very tall shelves (okay we made that last bit up).

Anyway those shady appendages will certainly come in handy as Jackie tries to survive the attentions of both the police and his relatives in the Francetti Mafia in this horror shocker.

Scheduled to appear on both Xbox 360 and PS3, The Darkness should certainly be a cracker if it lives up to Riddick's illustrious heritage and might have Alone in the Dark, and possibly even Resi casting nervous looks over their shoulders as it's set to debut before the end of this year.
