Prince of Persia Testing High
Just the other day the first trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was released and to mostly positive response. Now in an interview with Latino Review producer Jerry Bruckheimer extensively discusses the film. Maybe the most noteworthy thing out of the interview has to do with the test screening scores which are being made to sound very encouraging. What we found when we tested the movie a few weeks ago, and it tested extraordinarily high which surprised me because I always think...

NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Impressions
Generally it takes a few times through to get a good feel for a sports game from a demo. However because of the similarities to NBA Live 10 the demo for NCAA Basketball 10 comes across as ultra accessible and familiar. Naturally much of what my impressions entail will be comparisons and contrasts between the two EA basketball games. Featured in the demo is a five minute half with North Carolina @ Duke with the CBS presentation package. The demo is structured well enough to get a good feel...

EA Modifies NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Availability
EA Sports has sent out a press release announcing the availability of the NCAA Basketball 10 demo. It is now available for the 360. While it has not shown up in the "New Arrivals" section it can be found by going to "All Game Demos" and searching by the letter 'N'.

The NCAA Basketball 10 website has been clearly advertising the release of the demo as November 6th for several weeks. Howev...

NBA 2K10 Patch (360) Out Tomorrow
The patch for NBA 2K10 is scheduled to be released at about 2am PT for the 360 according to 2K Sports. As to the PS3 there is nothing new to share there so it seems likely that will happen sometime next week. The patch is supposed to alleviate framerate problems among other fixes that can be found here. The ironic thing about this is the 2K10 patch will arrive just 10 days after the NBA Live 10 patch, which had drawn criticism from 2K for how quickly it had been completed. Both companies ...

TV Version of 2012 Being Developed
With the release of the likely-to-be blockbuster disaster movie 2012 only a week away comes news that a television show is in the works that would follow humanity in the aftermath. Director Roland Emmerich mentioned the idea while talking with Entertainment Weekly. “The plan is that it is 2013 and it’s about what happens after the disaster,” Emmerich told EW while walking the red carpet for the 2012 premiere Tuesday. “It is about the resettling of Earth.

NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Details
With the demo for NCAA Basketball 10 slated to release tomorrow EA Sports has revealed some details on what to expect out of it. The demo will be a single five minute half and will feature North Carolina @ Duke. The CBS presentation package will be featured. While five minutes still isn't an ideal length for a demo at least they didn't break it into multiple even shorter segments. With this setup there should be enough consecutive gametime to get into a flow and begin to evaluate it. The ...

NCAA Basketball 10 Fact Sheet
EA Sports has released the full fact sheet for NCAA Basketball 10. The fact sheet contains the information provided to retailers and reviewers. While there is nothing new compared to the features list it does go into a little more detail for each area. The most disappointing thing about the fact sheet is the complete absence of the "dynamic updates" which is the only thing that hasn't been detailed to this point. According to the website the demo for the game will be out on Friday but as ...
