Tiger Woods Online Beta
While the PC market continues to be reevaluated by EA Sports for many of their titles, the expected eventual direction would be towards microtransaction or ad supported downloadable offerings. Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online appears to be the first example of EA taking this route in the US. The game will be browser based rather than downloadable and has already opened for sign-ups to take part in the online beta. Click here to sign-up for a chance at being involved in the online beta for the gam...

Hands-on With FNR4
As you may already know I was fortunate to visit EA Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia to check out the next installment of the Fight Night series. Let us also remember that the boxing community has had to wait 3 years for the second game on next generation consoles since Fight Night Round 3 was released in February of 2006. It should also be noted that EA Canada took over development for this game and it appears to have been a good choice so far. (more…)...

The posting has since been deleted from the EA Forum. I still don't understand the thinking behind this decision or the way in whic...
