NBA 2K13 Week Four Upcoming Roster Update Discussion
A week and a half has now passed since the last roster update for NBA 2K13. That one brought the number of missing players to under 20 and adjusted the ratings to 14 players. It also included the unlocks for the alternate and Christmas jerseys that had been leaked back in October. The biggest development in the last week in the NBA was the return of Kevin Love who has stormed back to average 24 points and 16 rebounds (he's currently not on the Timberwolves roster). Other players who have ...

Madden NFL 13 Week 12 Upcoming Roster Update Discussion
Typically a team in such a strong position wouldn't do so but the 49ers are shaking things up by going with Colin Kaepernick and that has paid off in the last two games and given their offense a much more dynamic look. Meanwhile the Steelers are struggling mightily without Ben Roethlisberger....injuries have even caused them to turn to Plaxico Burress for help. DeSean Jackson, Blaine Gabbert, Willis McGahee, Laurent Robinson, Jared Gaither, Kendall Hunter, and Kyle Williams will be hitting t...

NBA Selling 8-Bit Themed T-Shirts
Earlier today I stumbled upon some new t-shirts being sold by the NBA that leverage the retro nature of old school video games. Based on the wave of social media responses it's clear that there is great interest in these and I had to grab a couple myself! Additionally through the end of the day the NBA Store is offering 20% off orders by using code SLAMDUNK12. There are two different versions with one for teams and the other for individuals. The teams: 2012-13 Brooklyn Nets, 1999-00 Los A...

MLB 13: The Show To Have Vote for Cover Athlete; Feature New Playoff Mode
SCEA announced today that the cover of MLB 13: The Show will be decided through a fan voting campaign. That tactic has been used more frequently in recent years as companies have realized it is an easy way to create fan engagement and high levels of awareness in games far in advance of their respective releases. The cover voting will begin in January which seems to be cutting it really close however given the release set for March 5. The first features have also been announced for MLB 13....

Wrapping Up Initial Wii U Coverage
The outlook for the Nintendo Wii U has never seemed especially bright. There is a level of confusion about what the new system is - many don't even realize it is more than just a new controller - and it arrives a year before Sony and Microsoft roll out their new hardware that will instantly make it feel as though it is a generation behind. That the console is readily available at retailers even following Black Friday is a sign of either surprisingly low awareness and consumer interest or muc...

Various Cyber Monday Deals
Though no where near as extensive as the deals found in stores and around the web for Black Friday there are a number of options still available for those who may have missed out on earlier opportunities. These deals generally run just through the end of the day. Origin has the EA Sports slate at 50% off original retail price which approaches the lowest they have been available for (limited copies went for for $5 cheaper a few days ago through Amazon and Walmart). Amazon NHL 13 lightning d...
