UFC 2010 H2H Demo Videos
Earlier I posted up a few videos from the UFC 2010 Undisputed demo featuring action vs the CPU. Now here is a set of them with myself taking on Jerkfacefave. I only won a couple of the fights, of which we must have played about 20 of them, but I made sure to include those victories amongst this group of videos. Continue on to watch and leave your thoughts in the comments! (more…)...

The Line Drive 5/2
The Line Drive is a weekly collection of news, links, and updates that didn’t necessarily warrant their own postings. Leak for NHL 11 reveals the game will include the Canadian Hockey League. A patch is on the way for Tecmo Bowl Throwback to fix an online issue with recording wins and losses in situations where one side disconnects. The latest in the way of news mascots for NCAA Football 11 include Texas Tech's "Raider Red" and Houston's "Shasta". EA has also r...

2010 FIFA World Cup Hard Drive Evaluation
With 2010 FIFA World Cup in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360.

World Cup has some lengthy load times, and surprisingly the hard drive install didn't offer much improvement in loading to the main menu or into a match. Ho...

Theatrical Trailer for Piranha 3D
Last week the teaser trailer for Piranha 3D, which had been out in theaters for some time, was made available online. Now Dimension Films has released a new full theatrical trailer for the movie which is set to release on August 27. This is very much a B-level film that is looking to capitalize on the 3D craze by providing some fun with a silly concept. It includes some recognizable actors including Elisabeth Shue, Jerry O’Connell, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames and Eli Roth. Every year the p...

UFC 2010 Demo Videos
With the demo for UFC 2010 Undisputed hitting late Thursday night for members of the Undisputed community website, I wanted to get some videos out of some early fights I've taken part in. These were set on the "experienced" difficulty level which has proven to be challenging as I get back into the rhythm and learn something new with each subsequent fight. I'm really enjoying the demo and taking notes as I go for an impressions posting to come by Monday. I'll also get up some demo videos from h...

Batman 3 Gets a Release Date
It wasn't until today that the next installment in the Batman franchise was made official as Warner Brothers has announced a planned release date of July 20th 2012 for Batman 3. This is the exact same weekend that The Dark Knight had back in 2008. Production on TDK started approximately 15 months before the movie ended up being released, which means Batman 3 would need to begin pre-production in early 2011 and start filming in the spring to keep a similar time frame. A script is currently b...
