The OJ in 2K debate heats up
In the latest thoughts from Gamespot on All-Pro Football 2K8, the topic of OJ Simpson being in the game was addressed again. In fact it actually ended up the dominant topic. I wrote this article last week on the same issue. More troubling than that who has been left out, however, is who is actually in the game. I'm speaking of O.J. Simpson, of course. When asked about Simpson's appearance on the roster, Visual Concepts president Greg Thomas said his team was focused on what players did on ...

Early look at the PS3’s NBA 08
Sony has released a trailer for NBA 08 on the Playstation 3. The SCEA franchise will follow up on NBA 07 which came out with the system launch. IGN also recently had an interview with the game's producer. As a first party developer, you would expect them to be pushing the capabilities of the system. Yet SCEA doesn't seem to do that. The visuals on NBA 07, and the early visuals for 08, are sub-par. Even the much more highly regarded MLB 07: The Show has what most would consider "last-gen" grap...

Madden 08 Power Rankings (27-22)
Over the course of the next couple weeks I'll be posting up my power rankings for Madden 08 based on the current NFL team rosters. Below are 27-22, and you can find 32-28 here. 27- Cleveland Browns The Browns had a good off-season and great draft. Adding Jamal Lewis behind an improved offensive line makes them a more effective offense. But relying on a rookie QB and rookie LT ratings wise is a problem (at least at the start of the year). 26- Miami Dolphins Daunte Culpepper would st...

Tecmo Bowl 2008 teaser trailer
We still don't know what console the new Tecmo Bowl will be on (360? PS3? Wii?) or even if it may end up on something like the Nintendo DS. But here is a teaser trailer to get you pumped up for it. No it doesn't show anything new or of any substance (it's actually kinda cheesy) but it's still pretty neat to see and hear from Tecmo Bowl once again. ...

The uproar over corrupted 360 roster files
With the recent Xbox Dashboard update it seems that many roster files were intentionally corrupted. At the same time, specific consoles from the distributors were locked out. You can read up on the details here. This in effect would keep people on the 360 from transfering saves (which include rosters) from one console to another. In the past, this is how those files for college games were distributed. While panic and outrage has set in, it really isn't much of a concern. In all likelihood,...
