MLB 12: The Show Loading Time Analysis
Lengthy loading times have always plagued The Show. This year however SCEA provides the opportunity to make the typical 5GB install (which is required) or go beyond and install 10GB. The choice of which may come down to hard drive size - making the bigger install is obviously the better option if that isn't a concern - but just how much difference does it make? Here's a look at the breakdown of loading times under each scenario. (more…)...

Review: John Carter
The writings of Edgar Rice Burroughs have greatly influenced sci-fi over the last 100 years. With John Carter the long road of taking the series of novels to the big screen has finally been realized. The result is a decidedly mixed bag and one that won't exactly hold direct appeal to any particular age or demographic. Based on the first novel "A Princess of Mars" the story centers on John Carter who finds himself transported to Barsoom (Mars) where he becomes involved in a war between fac...

MLB 2K12 Initial Impressions
Titles that end a series, or that never receive a warranted follow-up, are often looked back upon fondly. 2K Sports has several of those in their past catalog alone. MLB 2K12 will not be joining them in high-regard.

Madden NFL 13 Cover Candidates: NFC South
EA Sports continues their reveal of candidates for the upcoming 64 player tournament to capture the cover of Madden NFL 13. One division per day will be announced leading up to the start of voting in the round of dual team representatives on March 7th. The battle to move on out as the Saints rep is the interesting one in the NFC South though it'll be tough for Jimmy Graham to topple Drew Brees. Cam Newton could be one of the favorites in the tournament and the Bucs had little to offer com...

MLB 2K12 Gameplay Videos
Given that the demo was pretty much the only way to get a look at MLB 2K12 before release I thought it important to capture some gameplay videos for anyone with some interest in the product to check out and evaluate. This series of videos includes Pirates @ Marlins, Blue Jays @ Red Sox, Yankees @ Mariners, and Rays @ Tigers. I'll have initial impressions tomorrow but so far MLB 2K12 has been stunningly poor - I'm having trouble finding many positives to discuss with any apparent improveme...
