MLB 2K12 Demo Available Now
The demo for MLB 2K12 was a no-show with the XBL marketplace update early this AM due to an error on Microsoft's part but it has now arrived (queue up for download on the 360 here).

MLB 12: The Show Forgoes Pre-Release Demo
MLB 12: The Show will not be receiving a pre-release demo. That a major title such as The Show would pass on putting out a demo is surprising - and it appears that the company may have made a deal with Best Buy again, as was the case with MLB 10, as in-store units have been spotted in several locations. That leaves MLB 2K12 to have the demo space to itself. It's a brilliant opportunity for 2K Sports that may or may not be capitalized on depending on whether consumers find it to be worthy of ...

Robert Griffin III Will Share Cover of NCAA Football 13 With Past Heisman Winner
ESPN Central Texas is reporting, as first noted by The Gaming Tailgate, Ă‚Â that Robert Griffin III will be on the cover of NCAA Football 13.
