Consumer Complaints Lead to Offer of Refunds for Tiger Woods 12 PC/Mac
Last week EA Sports released Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters for PC and Mac. It wasn't long before consumers started expressing anger over the state of the game which launched with a $40 sticker price. It appears to have largely been a port - at least in terms of assets as the graphics are shockingly weak even on max settings - of the browser-based Tiger Woods Online with advertised features that as it turns out were non-existent. (more…)...

Point Break Remake in the Works
Generally I'm not someone who gets upset at movies being remade - they don't affect the experience that was had seeing the original and sometimes they turn out better than expected. In the case of 1991's Point Break though, which is beloved by many and was driven by the performances of Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze and break-out direction of Kathryn Bigelow, it feels different and social media has exploded with anger over the news. Over the years there had been talk of a proper seque...

NBA 2K12 Adds Training Camp Feature
2K Sports today unveiled a new mode for NBA 2K12 referred to as 'Training Camp'. The mode acts as a series of tutorials rather than being similar to the 'NBA Academy' introduced in the NBA Live series which was more intended as a multi-faceted practice and learning environment.

This will be a welcome addition to the series which has taken some flak for its co...
