Review: Splice
Splice is one of the most difficult movies I've ever attempted to review.

Looking at the NBA Elite 11 Poll Results
While opinions will obviously change over time as more information comes out and the changes are demonstrated within the game the first reactions to ideas can be pretty telling. After the news broke about NBA Elite 11 (formerly NBA Live) I got up a set of polls and with a few days having passed the results can be examined. Few like the name change, most everyone likes the idea of real-time physics being added, and there is a pretty even split when it comes to right stick usage. That results...
