9 Innings Baseball 2011 Impressions
Finally a legitimate sports game has come to Android while it has been available on iOS as well for some time now. During all the traveling involved with the E3 trip I downloaded 9 Innings Baseball 2011 and was impressed with the total package especially given that the game is free for Android and only .99 on iOS devices.

Madden NFL 12 at E3: Impressions
It's always difficult to express detailed impressions of games coming out of E3. The environment and time pressure makes it difficult to dig into the games, the noise drowns out the audio, and everything is new so the tendency is to over-value the emotion felt when playing. Instead I've generally tried to get across the vibe towards a game following the event - not just of my own but of the others in attendance - and compare that to expectations and the experience of having seen how from ...

UFC Undisputed 3 at E3: Impressions
Heading into E3 THQ had already announced a range of features for the upcoming UFC Undisputed 3 that is scheduled to release in January. Considering the timing it would have been asking a bit much to expect hands-on gameplay and even what was presented was more than would have been anticipated a few weeks ago. A nearly ten minute video was shown which went over many of the features and improvements being introduced in UFC 3 along with actual gameplay footage. We came away from the present...

Icebreaker Hockey iPhone Review
By Brian Sipple “Are you related to Jean-Claude Van Damme? Because Jean-Claude Van Damme you're sexy!” If you didn’t know any better you might fooled into thinking Icebreaker was a cheesy pickup line app, chock full of gems like this one guaranteed to keep your dwindling batting average above the Mendoza Line (That or Muay Thai kicked in the face if there is a relation).

Tecmo Bowl Throwback iPhone Review
By Brian Sipple Nostalgia is a funny thing. Those who enjoyed playing Tecmo Bowl in the late 80s and early 90s are likely fond of its over-the-top arcade style of football. Those who belong to the Madden generation would take one look at the 2D side-scroller and wonder what crusty museum they had just wandered into. Tecmo Koei Games is no doubt banking on the former with the release of Tecmo Bowl Throwback on iOS. The game is attached with a hefty price tag of $7.99 and features three mo...

First Touch Soccer iPhone Review
By Brian Sipple Ask any soccer coach or player and they’ll tell you that even if you can kick like Messi or “bend it like Beckham” it won’t matter without a good first touch – that initial contact a player makes with the ball to bring it under his control. It’s fitting, then, that First Touch Soccer’s opening impression is one that immediately captivates the player, and goes on to provide the fullest soccer experience on the App Store. (more…)...

Tiger Woods 12 iPhone Review
By Brian Sipple Tiger Woods is an enigma. As his continuing struggles on the golf course show his future is subject to anyone’s best guess and his swing seems to have run off with Elin and the kids. If there’s anyone alive who can truly comprehend what’s going on in Tiger’s head right now, he’s probably too busy making a fortune in the stock market or helping the U.S. government find Bin Laden. I mean, seriously, how do you fall from worldwide icon, become the butt of a million ba...
