Screens of Celtics’ Ray Allen in NBA Live 08
Earlier today EA released two screenshots of Ray Allen in his new Boston Celtics gear. This is the first in a seven day series of NBA Draft related screens that will be released. Click the image above to view both of them in full size at the official NBA Live 08 website. The Celtics look like they'll be a relatively good team in the game. Combining him with Paul Pierce is going to make for a pretty effective combo. Now that Rashard Lewis is leaving for the Magic, there is another team that...

Football games on PS3 to only run at 30fps
One of the biggest factors to the new football games being enjoyable are that they run at 60fps.

Only the 360 versions of those games will run at 60fps. That is a HUGE deal. Now not only does the 360 h...
