Report: Transmission Games ceases all communications, shuts down
Heroes Over Europe and Ashes Cricket 2009 developer Transmission Games has apparently closed. Tsumea, along with several other Australia-based outlets, report the Melbourne developer just couldn't survive its very bad year. Allegedly, payments from failed publisher Red Mile never materialized and contracts, concerning a now-canceled Red Tails game for LucasArts, weren't properly concluded.The news of the shutdown comes weeks after the company laid off 30 of its staff. We'll update if Transmission offers an official statement.[Via Develop]

With the bottom of our cricket resource barrel officially scraped, it was time to consult one Ludwig Kietzmann, Joystiq's Head Cricket Consultant. About the sport of cricket, Mr. Kietzmann had this to offer: "It's a polite, turn-based competition of precision ball-whackery."You are now completely prepared for the Ashes Cricket demo available on Xbox Live. Enjoy.
Codemasters asks, 'Fancy a bit of Cricket?'
Codemasters has just dropped word to MCV that it is developing Ashes Cricket 2009, based on this year's The Ashes games. Codies brand manager Richard Gittins thinks that the game will be a big deal, based on how crazy people went over the games the last time they were hosted by the UK back in 2005, and expects strong sales.The game will feature all of the official matches and players (including big shots Andrew Strauss, Kevin Pietersen and Ricky Pointing), as well as a Legends mode that tasks players with completing certain technical scenarios. Ashes Cricket 2009 will release this summer on Xbox 360, PC and PS3, with a Wii version of the game releasing some time later this year.
