Complete Team Rankings and Top Rated Players in MLB 12: The Show
Though there there won't be a pre-release demo some info on MLB 12: The Show is coming out from its placement in Best Buy stores. That includes the gathering of full team rankings in the four categories of Overall, Hitting, Pitching, and Defense as well as a video posted by Operation Sports flipping through the top nine rated players on each team. Remember that SCEA uses "bars" to represent a player's ratings rather than displaying the numbers that drive them. Continue on to check them ou...
MLB 12: The Show Forgoes Pre-Release Demo
MLB 12: The Show will not be receiving a pre-release demo. That a major title such as The Show would pass on putting out a demo is surprising - and it appears that the company may have made a deal with Best Buy again, as was the case with MLB 10, as in-store units have been spotted in several locations. That leaves MLB 2K12 to have the demo space to itself. It's a brilliant opportunity for 2K Sports that may or may not be capitalized on depending on whether consumers find it to be worthy of ...
Robert Griffin III Will Share Cover of NCAA Football 13 With Past Heisman Winner
ESPN Central Texas is reporting, as first noted by The Gaming Tailgate,  that Robert Griffin III will be on the cover of NCAA Football 13. Given that some sort of focus with NCAA 13 seems to be Heisman winners of the past it then makes sense that the latest Heisman would play a role in the marketing of the upcoming title.
It's unclear though exactly where RG3 would fall as a potential cover athlete and given that the news seems based on involvement with a cover shoot that doesn't elimi...

Deal on UFC Undisputed 3 for 360
For those who may have held off on buying UFC Undisputed 3 but have some level of interest in the game a deal now at Amazon could be a tempting one. Not even two weeks after release and UFC 3 is going for $39.54 just for the Xbox 360 version - the PS3 one hasn't been discounted. This represents essentially $10 lower than the best opportunity at savings earlier when Amazon had offered a $10 promotional credit with pre-orders.
At this level the game could be bought and even paired with the ...
