    Earlier this month Bruce Lee was announced as an addition to the roster of EA Sports UFC. He'll be available to fight with in four different weight classes and can be obtained as a pre-order bonus or by "completing" Career mode. The announcement was polarizing and the poll posted recently collected over 3600 votes on the subject. The results confirm what was initially suspected - the decision to add Lee to the game will prove a net win for EA even though the news wasn't universally lov...

    2014 FIFA World Cup is out today and it would have been a much bigger event had the game released on Xbox One and PS4. Alas EA Sports chose not to do so, which means I'm heading back to the Xbox 360 to evaluate it. Check out a live stream below (which will be archived after to watch) of the game which will include playing a variety of modes. (Update) The stream archives are now embedded below. Will have basic impressions of the game posted later this week! Watch live video from Pastapadr...

Instead of changing around a formula that has largely worked for several years they'd primarily focus instead on enhancing the visuals. There is a good deal of excitement around the title with fans having planned in advance by purchasing the PS4 knowing it was the only place baseball would be present. The exceptional visuals have been evident from the gamep...

    Earlier today IGN hosted a live stream of MLB 14: The Show on PS4 between with a game between Yasiel Puig and Hunter Pence, some Home Run Derby, and Road to the Show. It's far from the best way to represent the game - graphically it'll look better than the video quality allows for, some questionable skills and knowledge are on display, and Quick Counts are utilized - but it's an opportunity at least to see the game in action. To watch you'll have to put up with the host and an all around...
