It’s been known for some time that Bioware have an MMO in development. What that MMO is, and what it’s going to be like however remains a mystery, but what CEOs Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk will tell us; is that they like the idea of it going to console.

"We're excited about the future," said Muzyka in an interview for MTV. "We think there's potential for an MMO on a console."

The current speculation is Knights of the Old Republic III. Bearing in mind that the first KOTOR was one of the best selling games on the original Xbox, a console port doesn’t sound that far-fetched.

Stay tuned.

Apologies for the lateness, but we’ve been busy with our Bad Company video review. Speaking of which, it finds itself entering the charts at number two. It’s held off by another new entry, Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros: Brawl. Finally released in Europe, it’s been selling like hotcakes.  LEGO Indiana Jones drops to third and Wii Fit re-enters at number four. THQ’s Big Beach Sports joins the fray in number five with competition from Top Spin 3 (at number eight) and Beijing 2008, a new entry at number nine. GTAIV occupies the middle tenth spot and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith strums in at number fourteen. The Bourne Conspiracy punches in at number fifteen and Call of Duty 4 inhabits number 20.

As always:  "Leisure software charts compiled by Chart Track, (C)2007 ELSPA Ltd"
