For the most part those expectations have been precisely met. MLB 15 is a fantastic game that has improved on its strengths but done litt...

New Edition of Tap Sports Baseball Now Available on Mobile

Not only was it true to the sport on the field but it was designed in such a manner worthy of recognition when compared to the models utilized by many other mobile games. Check out my write-up on it here. Now a brand new edition of the game has released. The downside is that it requires starting over.

Details on Latest Patch for NBA 2K15 Finally Released Following Arrival on Xbox One
A third post-release patch for NBA 2K15 went out three weeks ago on PlayStation 4 and PC.

Thankfully it's now comparable to all the other sports franchises and when combined with the new Suspend/Resume fea...
