"Everyday since Christmas Day, Electronic Theatre has been looking back at the greatest videogames 2009 had to offer; month by month. Whilst the last thing on your mind at the moment in the midst of the snowfall is likely to be the summer, today we bring you the very best that August 2009 had to offer and the ones to look out for in the January sales."
"In this regard, the game has kind of failed to come up with a reason for the player to come back. The achievements and unlockable items can all be easily won within 10 hours of gameplay. The customisation for characters is extremely weak, thus there is no overwhelming urge to build it up to be a decent character. You can only choose between pre-made faces (all of which are already being used as international players) and thus there is no investment in the character."
"NaturalMotion, the animation technology and game development studio behind the Euphoria Engine, has announced that Codemasters has licensed its morpheme animation middleware in a far-reaching deal covering upcoming titles and future game development."
It has been announced that the game, Cricket, which is produced by Codemasters and developed by Gusto Games, will be releasing November 5th, 2009 for the Nintendo Wii. Read on for more info.

"Morpheme is robust animation middleware designed to give developers and animators unprecedented creative control over the look of their final in-game animation by allowing them to author and preview blends, blend trees and transition graphs in real time. The middleware’s seamless integration with NVIDIA PhysX provides a unique toolset for creating lifelike characters."
"Codemasters’ Ashes Cricket 2009 got a promising innings underway on Tuesday as Aussie leg-spin legend Shane Warne wowed the Oxford Street crowds at HMV’s flagship store. The signing event drew massive crowds and witnessed a consummate display of bowling from Warne with the Wii Remote, as lucky punters took ‘Warnie’ on at his own game."
"When it comes to batting, one of the most annoying things for me of previous cricket games was the lack of ability for the batsman to move down the pitch. In Ashes Cricket 2009, you use the LT and LB buttons to chose whether you want to hit on the front foot, back foot or advance down the pitch."
Atari Australia have announced today that Codemasters have signed up new talent to be involved in their upcoming game Ashes Cricket 2009 to be released in August.
"We agree! Gameplay has absolutely been front and centre of everything we've done on this project. A huge amount of work has gone into Ashes Cricket 2009, and from the code side, we've literally written the game and engine from scratch."
