Patch Released for UEFA EURO 2012
EA Sports has faced a great deal of criticism for their handling of the UEFA EURO 2012 add-on for FIFA 12. The concealment of the actual number of licensed teams included in the product justifies the resulting unrest and building distrust. Now the company has released a patch for EURO - and while it isn't going to change perception towards the product at all it will hopefully improve the experience to an extent for those who purchased it and continue to play it by addressing some reported is...

The trailer focuses on current WWE Champion CM Punk but has flashes of "Attitude" stars in their roles at the time with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Mankind, and The Undertaker.

Breaking Bad’s Final Season Starts July 15
When Breaking Bad was renewed for a fifth and final season it received a 16 episode order meaning its network (AMC) planned for either one extra long season or to break it into two separate runs. The answer has now come along with a premiere date. The new season of Breaking Bad will begin on Sunday July 15 marking the start of the first half of the season.

Videos Showcase Tebowing and Salsa Dancing Celebrations in Madden NFL 13
With a number of customized celebrations being added for Madden NFL 13 it was completely predictable that EA Sports would exploit them given the press they generate and the free publicity that could come from something as simple as a tweet from the player in question. The first two having been singled out are of course Tim Tebow's "Tebowing" and Victor Cruz's salsa dance. It's a wonder why EA feels these are somehow exceptional replications - in fact they're riddled with inaccuracies a...

GI Joe: Retaliation Delayed to 2013
It's incredibly rare for a movie so close to getting released delayed but that has just happened with GI Joe: Retaliation. Scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 29 it has now been pushed back to March 29, 2013. The reasoning given by Paramount is they are going to add 3D - and having that makes sense particularly given the fondness for it overseas. However what is baffling is why they didn't make that decision a long while back. It is not a new phenomenon that big budget films in intern...

Examining the State of MLB Gaming
Few are bemoaning the apparent loss of the MLB 2K franchise but the prospects of where that leaves MLB gaming are only slightly more optimistic than they had been under the third party license that is now expiring. With the end of the console generation near, and companies more risk averse than ever, there are a number of variables to consider when thinking of what company - if any - will choose to make a licensed baseball game in the next year or two. (more…)...
