Brief Look at The Gauntlet in Madden NFL 15
EA Sports today released a quick video offering glimpses at "The Gauntlet" - a new feature made up of various extreme arcade-style mini-games that end in "boss battles".

The video is complete with an annoying voiceover that you'd expect out of an arcade game although the footage makes it look more like a typical tutorial-type skill building mode.

College Football 15, Having Lost The NCAA License, Would Have Released Today
Under normal circumstances today would have been all about the release of the latest edition of NCAA Football. Unfortunately the series was cancelled last September in the midst of player likeness lawsuits that scared the NCAA, several conferences, and even some schools into abandoning EA Sports.

The Golf Club Nearing Submission to Microsoft and Sony

Should all go smoothly, and it clear the testing process with both first parties, a release at the end of the month or early August is a fair expectation. Rejection for any re...
