    Day two of E3 is in the books and now the focus will be on getting out even more content primarily relating to Madden 12. Several videos are in the queue but most will have to wait until Thursday and Friday. For now I've been able to get through the clip from earlier today and now a new one featuring a snow game with Tim Tebow and the Broncos vs Cam Newton and the Panthers. There will be more from this game to come. The Facebook album now has even more pictures of the 'player traits' with...

    Over the past few years the NCAA Football series has delivered demos in mid-June - about a month in advance of the game's release. The early nature of the demo has its advantages but also its drawbacks and so this year EA Sports has shifted it back a bit. The demo is scheduled to release for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on Tuesday June 28th. That means the demo will arrive two weeks before NCAA Football 12 hits stores. As revealed last month the demo will consist of two different matchups (those ...

    Though the internet connection has made life difficult here I was able to get one Madden NFL 12 video up featuring the Chargers @ Chiefs and a Jamaal Charles touchdown run. In addition to that are more images of the "Player Traits". Many were posted to Twitter and Facebook last night and with over 200 total (several from every team) I'll be running more of them out this evening and tomorrow. (more…)...

    It was six hours that went by incredibly fast and now work has started on providing content out of the first day of E3. Videos are currently being uploaded but the process is a very slow one. I expect some of them to be posted later tonight but by morning is a better bet. (Update) Videos are looking increasingly unlikely due to the internet connection and may have to be held until Thursday evening when I'll able to effectively upload them. Until then I'm posting some Madden NFL 12 'Player...

    Majesco has made news on two fronts today. The first is that the company has signed an agreement with the NBA to produce an original arcade-style franchise.

    It was an underwhelming press conference today as far as EA Sports goes. That was especially the case for Madden 12 which as a series typically tries to make a splash but had nothing new announced this time around. The only thing delivered on for the game was a new flashy trailer. Continue on to check it out and leave any thoughts in the comments! (more…)...
  • EA Sports Titles Adding Kinect Support

    At the Microsoft E3 press conference this morning EA Sports president Peter Moore appeared to discuss plans for Kinect for Xbox 360 support in the company's sports titles. Madden NFL 12, FIFA 12, and the Tiger Woods series will all incorporate the motion control system in some form or fashion. There is also a future title that has not been announced which will feature Kinect. Team sports games have struggled to introduce compelling motion control options. Those typically translate better ...
