    There are very few creative takes on sports in gaming these days, so when one crosses the radar no matter how unorthodox the concept it becomes worth a look. Rocket League is one of those. Officially announced today and coming to the PlayStation 4 next spring, Rocket League is a sequel to the 2008 game Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, and combines racing with soccer. Features include a new Season mode, advanced physics system, broadcast-quality replays, wide range of...

    [UPDATE: Now Expired] Amazon has the games for $30 as lightning deals until about 5:10 ET. Madden, FIFA, NBA 2K15, Watch Dogs, and The Evil Within all for $30 XB1/PS4.

Among them are FIFA 15, NBA 2K15, and Madden NFL 15. All ...

Typically the yearly sports games released in summer or early fall are found for $25-35 with Black Friday deals. Those have included NCAA, Madden, NHL, and FIFA.

    It's long been the norm for sports games to receive a patch for release day. In many cases publishers don't reveal the details of the updates, as they now view the release + patch as the final consumer product. Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 arrived today and Konami actually promoted in a press release what makes up the patch that accompanies it. KONAMI has also prepared a day one download for PES 2015, which will ensure that 93 new kits will appear authentically in the game, while eight (8) ...

    With just over two weeks until the game releases Konami today debuted a mode-centric trailer for PES 2015. The demo has been out for over a month now and reception has been generally positive - but it remains a tough sell as FIFA 15 will have been on the market for two months by the time it arrives and it follows the wave of sports games and faces incredibly tough competition for dollars in the gaming space in general. The extended trailer offers up some good information on myClub, Mas...

    Share Play was introduced in the PS4 system update yesterday and having spent an evening testing it out what it offers is remarkable. There's almost too much to go into for a single article so it'll be discussed at length on the next Press Row Hangout likely to be Saturday night. In one case I joined Rich Grisham and his NBA Live 15 to play a game against each other "offline" (Live doesn't have local co-op). As the host he had an ideal offline experience. As the guest I was faced with ...
