Early NBA Season Surprises
We are now approximately 12% of the way into the NBA season at which point some trends can start to be analyzed. I thought it would be interesting to look at how the player ratings have changed based on the results from the start of the season.

NBA Unrivaled Impressions
It would be one thing if NBA Unrivaled was 400 MS points/$5 but it isn't. The downloadable only game for XBLA and PSN is asking for 1200 MS points/$15. It appears that the sole reason for the is the use of the NBA license because there is nothing else about the game that could justify such a price. Luckily as with every downloadable game a free trial is offered. The trial includes the Lakers vs Magic with two minute quarters. Yes, NBA Unrivaled does include the NBA license meaning it incl...

Reactions to the NBA 2K10 Patch
With the highly anticipated patch release for NBA 2K10 yesterday (for the 360) I thought it would be a good idea to look at the reaction the patch was getting around the community as well as adding my own personal thoughts on it. While 2K did an admirable job of getting the patch turned around relatively quickly there were some core issues with the game that needed to be addressed. Generally patches attempt to enhance aspects of the game or fix errors but don't have to deal with things as...
