FIFA Street 3 impressions and details
After spending some time with FIFA Street 3 I went through to take down as many details of the game as possible and post my overall impressions.

Feel free to leave any questions in the comments and I’ll try to dig up answers to them over the next few days.

MLB 2K8 full inning video
The first four short clips of MLB 2K8 recently released by IGN were met with a general sense of disappointment.
