If you've been pretty pissed about NBA 2K9 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) crashing left and right, you'll need this patch. This long list of tweaks and fixes go cover general features, gameplay, and all the way to online play. Be sure to read up on this so you won't have to regret playing and losing your progress to crashing.

THQ has finally announced a release date for Sandblast's latest Destroy All Humans! title. Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon is now officially on for a December 1 release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

There's a lot of new stuff on the PlayStation Store today. This week's highlights include the BioShock demo, more new songs for Rock Band, and a pair of PSP games that have just become available for download. Check out the full list below.

This is a true-to-life "Grand Theft Auto". A truck containing thousands of PS3 games was stolen in Northampton, recovered by the cops, only to be stolen again right from the police compound.

If you're a fan of the Doom franchise then here's some good news! id Software has announced that they're working on Doom 4 already. Interestingly enough, the game might be headed multiplatform on the company's new proprietary engine. To find out more, head on over to the full article.

Here's a new video clip for Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights from Juice Games and THQ featuring the Driver DNA. The good thing about this option is that records a player's driving style and creates a strand of DNA for it. This then can be downloaded by other players from PS3's PlayStation Network and Xbox 360's Xbox Live.

There are different kinds of Driver DNA available in the game such as "Cool", "Wild", "Uncompromising", and "Calculating" among others. Needless to say, each one varies from each other and dictates how a driver handles his vehicle. When playing an online match, you can also examine your opponent's DNA to use it to your advantage.

Aside from the already mentioned versions, Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights will also be available on platforms Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, PC, and PlayStation 2. It was recently reported that both the PS3 and PSP versions will be delayed.

After a couple of interviews, it's time for Juice Games licensing manager Nick Clarkson to take the hot seat and talk about Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights.

During Gamespot's interview, Clarkson talked about the problems the original game had - particularly, the unforgiving economy that often left players penniless after spending bucks for car repair. To address this problem, they're doing a lot of tweaks and changes to the system. For example, there's no charge for entering races anymore and you won't lose money for car repairs.

Clarkson confirmed that they're aiming for a more arcade-style game, something that can appeal to casual gamers and pull them in by offering rewards. More importantly, the game will feature several real life drivers that isn't very often for racing games. A bunch of teams will stand before your way, but beating them will be rewarding. You could win their cars, their decals, and even be part of them. Celebrities will also be present not only on release, but through downloads in the future.

Another main feature of the game is the driver DNA, which lets the computer record your driving style. Quite like the AI systems in recent fighting games, you can gather your data in single player then create an avatar with your skills. Online, you can find DNAs of other players and pit yourself against them - fight the guy on top of the ladder for the ultimate challenge.

The game will span throughout 7 geographical locations, plus plenty of cars and parts for your customization needs. For more info, check out the full interview below.
