Review – Transformers: Dark of the Moon
The original Transformers is one of my favorite movies and I feel no shame in admitting that. The nostalgia factor of seeing the adaptation of a show I loved growing up captured me completely and the visuals and action scenes were stunning to witness.

FIFA 12 Replaces Longtime Series Announcer
Back in January EA Sports was faced with a decision on whether they would make a change to the commentary team in the FIFA series after Andy Gray was fired from Sky Sports after having made sexist comments and related inappropriate actions. Today the company revealed that Alan Smith will join Martin Tyler in the booth for FIFA 12 while avoiding even a mention of the man being replaced.

NCAA Football 12 Demo Impressions
Judging from community reaction the demo for NCAA Football 12 has been received relatively well though it hasn't seemed to inspire much excitement. From from a gameplay and presentation standpoint NCAA Football is maybe becoming all too familiar but the franchise still carries one of the strongest feature sets amongst all the yearly sports offerings which would seem to be enough to keep it on high ground.
