If you're upset that your new copy of Madden 09 doesn't depict Brett Favre in all his glory as a New York Jet now that Green Bay has freed themselves of him, then don't worry - EA's got your back. Over at their website you can download and print a cover with Favre as a Jet, but only if you bought the 360, PS3, PS2, or PSP versions of the game.

EA's also offering an automatic download for the 360, original Xbox, PS3, PS2, and Wii versions that will put Favre at the starting QB position for the Jets. They also noted that those playing offline can use the Franchise Mode to place Favre in the free agent pool and then sign him to any NFL team you want.

Battlefield: Bad Company may not completely revamp the war game experience, but it does modify it enough to keep you interested throughout both on and offline. The biggest new feature clearly is the ability to blow buildings apart -- and visuals are spectacular, but the game features more than just that. For once, it features an entertaining single-player experience with a meaningful storyline. Of course, it brings a quality online experience as well to keep you playing for some time.

Are you a developer-chomping publisher interested in acquiring even more companies? Well, you might want to call Valve, as Doug Lombardi, their VP, mentioned in an interview with Gamasutra that Valve would be "happy to have that conversation" with interested parties even though they are content with being independent.

Valve already has a relationship with EA, who is currently the publisher for Left 4 Dead, and Lombardi said that things are still good between the two companies, which could potentially hamper talks with another publisher.

Valve's acquisition would be huge for any publisher, as Valve's Steam service is currently a mammoth in the PC arena since it's a huge source for digital distribution and online gaming. It'll be interesting to see how how things work out if someone acquires Valve.

If you're bummed that Left 4 Dead hasn't been announced for the PS3, here's an interesting bit for you: Joystiq is reporting that the Official Playstation Magazine's latest issue claims that the game is hitting the PS3 but will be developed by EA instead of Turtle Rock Studios. However, the mag doesn't disclose its source for the information, so you might not want to get too excited until an official confirmation is made.

If true, EA will be under pressure to deliver a strong port, as their PS3 port of the Orange Box angered many PS3 owners because of its numerous bugs, framerate issues, and other technical mishaps. Let's hope that this one turns out better.

It's been rumored for years, but it looks like a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic MMO is finally on its way.

The news comes from Joystiq, who reports that Portfolio.com has published an excerpt from their interview with EA CEO John Riccitiello, who says that one of EA's two MMOs in development is "in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare," sparking excitement that the game could be a KOTOR MMO as Bioware was behind the first KOTOR game.

Joystiq then contacted N. Evan Van Zelfden, who wrote the report, who confirmed to them that the game in question is indeed an online KOTOR. Sounds good!
