Hit stick demonstration video
I did up a quick video showing off the difference between the high and low hitsticks in NCAA Football 08. I didn't spend a lot of time collecting examples, but it should show it off well enough. I'll be doing more of these types of videos over the coming days for different features or additions to the game. ...

NBA 2K8 not being shown at E3
Unfortunately it seems that 2K Sports has pulled NBA 2K8 from its E3 lineup. This was one of the more anticipated sports titles as no one has seen or heard from it yet. Meanwhile NBA Live 08 has pushed out an unheralded amount of advertising, early media and hands-on impressions and it is being shown at the event. We know that Chris Paul will be the cover athlete as first reported here on 7/4, however 2K has yet to even come out and take the first step of officially announcing that news. It...

Achievements for All-Pro Football 2K8
The full list of Xbox 360 achievements for All-Pro Football 2K8 has made its way out. It consists of 50 achievements totaling the 1000 points. It looks like a pretty good set, with a nice mix of offline vs online and setting records vs completing tasks. One thing to wonder though is on those such as "set a single game record for receiving yards" what record are they using? I can't imagine they could use NFL records. Click here to view the full list....

First highlight video from NCAA Football 08 demo

First look at the Wii version of NBA Live 08
IGN has posted a preview of NBA Live 08 for the Wii. What they saw was early in development, but they seem encouraged by the direction it is going. Personally I don't really see basketball as a game that will work all that well with the Wii controls. The shooting matches up, but so much of the game relies on quick reaction time and precision. It's hard to imagine all the other elements in a basketball game fitting in seamlessly to offer a satisfying 5 on 5 experience. Of course I would ...
