Adrian Gonzalez Chosen as Cover Athlete for MLB 12: The Show
SCEA has selected Boston Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez to appear on the cover of MLB 12: The Show. Gonzalez comes off his first year with Boston having batted .338 with 27 home runs and 117 RBIs along with receiving the Gold Glove at 1B in the American League. The choice will be seen as somewhat questionable given the historic collapse of the Red Sox late in the season and the surrounding controversy that has since followed. His numbers however can back up the decision and a stron...

Madden NFL 13 Cover Candidates: NFC Mid-Season Report
Having now reached just about the mid-season point the picture of just who might be in the running for the cover of Madden NFL 13 has started to come into focus.

Eddie Murphy No Longer Hosting The Oscars
When it was announced two months ago many found the choice of Eddie Murphy to host The Oscars an inspired one. The show has struggled in recent years with bland, tired headliners or those that disappointed to cringe-worthy levels. Brett Ratner was slated to produce the show and picked the star of his film Tower Heist (which just released last week).

Madden NFL 12 Week Nine Upcoming Roster Update Discussion
The post-week nine roster update for Madden NFL 12 will hit late this week - and after Eli Manning got his "clutch" trait back the question may now come of whether Joe Flacco should join the club or if Philip Rivers will fall out of it. With mini-camps lost due to the lockout many expected ugly football to begin the season but surprisingly offenses were pretty sharp. Now, at the mid-season point, defenses seem to have caught up. Names to look for an increase from this week include Julio J...

One Day Deal on FIFA 12
As Black Friday approaches the deals of video games will be widespread and that'll be tracked on the site, but right now coming off the Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale of last week comes another opportunity to secure one of the top sports games of the year at a reduced cost.
