The Bigs: Online Play Report
One important aspect of a sports title that usually doesn't get reviewed properly if at all is online play. Basically, since the media sites have the game early or are working off a dev kit, they don't have anyone to play online. That is why you see them review what they've been told is there for online, but rarely do they ever lay out how good it is. Issues such as distance lag in the EA Sports titles or broken leagues in the 2K titles generally aren't mentioned....

Padre’s The BIGS Rookie Challenge: Part 2

Demo for The BIGS coming next week
Expect a demo for The BIGS to make its way to the Xbox Live Marketplace next week according to xboxdomain. It is unknown whether the Playstation Network will see one also. It would've been nice to have the demo prior to the release date (Tuesday the 26th) but it is a good move to put it out there nonetheless. While there has been overwhelmingly positive things said about this game from the media (and personally I'm very excited for it) it doesn't feel as if there is much buzz out th...
