Jon Jones was arrested this week after alleged involvement in a hit-and-run. He's since been stripped of the light heavyweight title and replaced in next month's UFC 187 by Daniel Cormier who will fight Anthony Johnson for the vacated belt. EA took a risk by plastering Jon Jones all over the new mobile game given that he tested positive for cocaine in January. That w...

MLB 15: The Show Diamond Dynasty Market Report for April
One of the things that allows MLB 15: The Show's Diamond Dynasty to stand out among the card collecting modes of other sports titles was the decision to use "living" cards.

Expect cards for Winston and Mariota to be introduced as early as Thursday evening once their names are called at the NFL Draft. The questi...
