    The demo for NCAA Football 12 arrives tomorrow and it seems to hold added importance this year. NCAA's absence from the floor of E3 clearly stagnated its momentum at an inopportune time and follow-up footage of the game has failed to raise enthusiasm. The demo however provides the opportunity to regain traction as release nears. The demo features two separate matchups (Alabama at Florida State and Oregon at Texas) and allows for the unlocking of five different Nike Pro Combat jerseys for ...

    Throughout the years the speed rating in Madden has not only largely dictated success on the field but also been the biggest point of contention from athletes in terms of getting their perceived respect.

    Today the Buffalo Bills unveiled their new uniforms to the public for the first time. The uniforms however were first spotted in one of the early teaser videos for Madden NFL 12. EA Sports quickly pulled the video but it was too late. The company took some heat from the NFL over the slip-up though the league typically signs off on promotional materials before they filter out so the fault there was likely split. The uniforms were not available in the build on display at E3 given that th...

    Carefully omitted from the announcement of next week's release of Backbreaker: Vengeance on XBLA was the price. NaturalMotion has now followed up by stating that the game will go for 1200 MS points which is the equivalent of $15. That might be asking a bit much considering a comparable experience on iOS can be had for 99 cents and the full retail version of Backbreaker (which includes a 'Tackle Alley' mode) now goes for less even brand new. While there has been little promotion for Vengea...
