Despite its popularity among a hardcore group of fans the management game Out of the Park Baseball - which has been a mainstay on PC and in recent years expanded to mobile - has struggled to break out sales wise beyond that dedicated and passionate group. One reason for that could be chalked up to a lack of Major League Baseball licensing. While real player names could be used (similar to how fantasy baseball services can utilize them without a cost involved) there was no MLB branding, te...

The Golf Club Patch Out Now on PS4 and XB1
The patch mentioned last week for The Golf Club, which was already out on PC, has now gone live on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Fourth Patch Released for NHL 15
Normally a fourth patch for a game would signify impressive post-release support. That hasn't really been the case for NHL 15, as EA Sports has only done the bare minimum when considering the state they released the game in and the promises they made prior to then. It could be argued though they haven't even done that much given how poor and infrequent the roster updates have been. Features that have been added in post-release updates include Playoff Mode, Be a Pro Coach Feedback, Three S...

Mutant Football League Still in Development
Work has continued on the return of Mutant Football League despite an unsuccessful crowd-funding campaign in 2013. The game has been so under-the-radar since that when pre-alpha footage (check it out here) was posted two weeks passed until any media site took notice. Creator and lead designer of the original Mutant League Football (released in 1993 on Sega Genesis) Michael Mendheim has been driving the development of the PS4/XB1/PC/iOS/Android reboot. During the Kickstarter campaign...
