Extra Life Charity Drive This Weekend
By T.J. Lauerman
Saturday, October 25th, gamers across North America are joining forces once again to help sick kids. Extra Life is a marathon just like a walk or run, but you don't even need to get out of your chair. For 24 hours gamers will be doing what they do best, playing video games and raising money for their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. The 2014 Extra Life campaign has already raised over $2,000,000 and has over 43,000 registered participants.
Saturday will mark my...

NBA Live 15 Day One EA Access Live Stream
EA Sports has largely shielded consumers from NBA Live 15 and their motivations for doing so have been questioned. This is especially notable coming off four years of failure and promises to change that have been broken time and time again. When the company announced the EA Access subscription service back in July they backed themselves into a corner where they could no longer hide games they may not be all that confident in all the way through release. Now everyone who has an Xbox One...

Details on the First NBA 2K15 Patch
Expected out soon for the Xbox One and PS4, and already available for those on PC, the first patch for NBA 2K15 attempts to address some issues discovered since release of the game. After initially only mentioning that there would be a fix for people getting booted out of MyPark 2K Sports has now released a list of what else to expect from the update.
Given the timing it's no surprise that the patch is essentially just implementing some quick fixes for mostly minor bugs rather than making...
Six Hour NBA Live 15 Stream Tomorrow
EA Sports may have avoided showing gameplay for NBA Live 15 but their commitment to the EA Access program means they couldn't hide the game completely. Tomorrow I'll be holding a live stream of NBA Live 15 running through the entirety of the six hours and in the process will have hopefully shown off sufficient gameplay and most of the modes.
Last year hundreds of people joined me in experiencing NBA Live 14 in a live stream that went on for over six hours. What would have been torturous o...
