NBA 2K11 Online Impressions
The NBA 2K series has struggled mightily with online play as 2K Sports attempted to expand features while taking on the increased load that has come with the growing sales base. Crippling lag and features that didn't function as advertised made for a frustrating online experience. While NBA 2K11's online play can still be considered an area of weakness it has seemingly avoided being the disaster of the last few years. The game didn't add any new online features choosing instead to work on e...

September Sales Success for EA Sports
September was big for EA Sports as their three most recent games finished in the top five in sales for the month. Unfortunately NPD has decided to no longer provide the actual sales numbers for consoles or individual titles instead leaving that to the manufacturers and publishers which is a little disconcerting. Madden 11 finished in second (behind only Halo: Reach and in front of Dead Rising 2) while NHL 11 came in 4th and FIFA 11 landed in 5th. The results are especially impressive for NH...

UFC Undisputed 2010 Patch #2 Out Now
A second patch for UFC Undisputed 2010 is now available for both the 360 and PS3. This patch is heavy with the online related fixes but early positive impressions are being made based on the gameplay tweaks provided.

The resources put into this update probably wouldn't have been allocated had the series not been pushed off a yearly release cycle. Continue on for the ...

Madden 11 Roster Update #8 Details
The post NFL week five roster update for Madden 11 includes three high profile players losing their coveted 99 rating. Drew Brees, Patrick Willis, and Jared Allen all fall a single point which seems to be in part representative of their respective team's struggles. Other notable changes include the trade of Deion Branch to the Patriots, several team overall ratings shifting from one to three points, and Colt McCoy taking the reigns as the starting QB of the Browns due to injuries. The Jerom...

NBA 2K11 Creating a Legend Impressions
With the ability to unlock Creating a Legend in NBA 2K11 without havingĂ‚Â completed all ofĂ‚Â the Jordan Challenges I have focused my time since on the mode. Creating a Legend is essentially just My Player mode using a rookie Michael Jordan but for several reasons I'm finding this mode much more enjoyable than the latter. (more…)...

Ifans will play the role of a surgeon who was sent to war and lost his arm only to return and regrow the limb using reptilian DNA but with drastic side-effects. The most recent trilogy had Dylan Baker in the r...
