Q Entertainment is continuing to share the cross-platform love by announcing a PlayStation 3 version of its musically-inclined puzzle game Lumines.

Following up on the recent announcement of its other puzzler Meteos coming to Xbox 360, this time around Q is updating the fast-paced, square-making Lumines--now adding the Supernova moniker--to play online on the PlayStation 3. Custom soundtracks are among the additions to the new edition.

Lumines Supernova does not have an announced price or release date, but it will launch on Sony's online store on the PlayStation Network in Japan this fall.

Q Entertainment, the studio behind the addictive puzzlers Lumines and Every Extend Extra, has announced that it will bring its rocket-launching stacking puzzle game Meteos to the Xbox 360 as a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade release.

Originally a Nintendo DS game, Meteos has players grouping together stones of the same color on the bottom of the screen and launching those groups off into space.

The Xbox Live Arcade version, now called Meteos Wars, adds head-to-head multiplayer and characters that can be decorated as the player unlocks achievements, according to 1UP.

Meteos Wars does not have an announced price or release date, but it will launch on Xbox Live Arcade Japan in October.

Electronic Arts today announced it will be publishing new efforts from acclaimed studios Epic Games and Grasshopper Manufacture as part of its EA Partners program.

The new Epic property is being developed for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 by wholly-owned subsidiary People Can Fly, which previously created the action-shooter series Painkiller and handled the PC port of Gears of War.

"Epic is excited to work with EA Partners to launch our next big IP on the global stage," said Epic Games VP Mark Rein. "EA Partners gives independent developers like Epic the muscle of a global publisher like EA, along with the focus and flexibility of a smaller team committed to working with our individual needs."

Casual games publisher PopCap has announced that its beloved bouncing ball simulator Peggle will arrive on Nintendo DS this winter, with the game's development being handled by acclaimed Japanese studio Q Entertainment (Rez, Lumines, Meteos).

The DS edition is expected to carry a $29.95 price point, more levels than any past Peggle game, "features unique to the DS version," and what PopCap referred to as "a wealth of surprise additions sure to please die-hard fans and novice players alike."

Already released on PC, Mac and iPod, the Pachinko-esque offerings of Peggle, which require players to eliminate colored pegs, have won over many a cold-hearted gamer despite its use of unicorns, rainbows, and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy."

A DS edition of Peggle was rumored earlier this year. At the time, PopCap noted that a Nintendo DS version had not yet been approved, but that it was "eager to bring its peg-popping pleasures to as many appropriate platforms and devices as possible."

A downloadable Xbox 360 edition of Peggle is in the works as well, though it has missed its tentative Q2 2008 release window, with a PC sequel, dubbed Peggle Nights, also known to be in development.
