Though it wasn't a huge splash at the box office Piranha 3D did well enough considering its budget to warrant a sequel as Dimension Films has announced today that development has already begun. No details on the story have been given and it doesn't appear a script has even been written yet.

Madden 11 Gets Online Quitting Fix
EA Sports released an update yesterday that changed the way wins and losses are reported online in Madden 11. One of the big issues so far with online play had been the ability for quitting to take place in the first half of ranked games and at any point in Madden Ultimate Team games with no penalty in the way of a loss being tagged to the quitter and no win being presented to the person quit on. Now quitters will receive a loss no matter when they depart a ranked game and those quit on wil...
