MLB 11 League Restrictions Being Removed
The article yesterday regarding online league restrictions finally prompted action from SCEA as they will be removing league restrictions in MLB 11: The Show on Monday. That it took such exposure to get a response is distressing in itself. Consumers have rights and should not be ignored just because their voice doesn't reach tens of thousands of readers, and features need to be delivered completely as advertised. While the decision to remove the various restrictions will be appreciated it...

Brief Thoughts on WWE All-Stars Path of Champions Mode and Elimination Video
Without going into any spoilers "Path of Champions" is the story mode for WWE All-Stars that involves completing a series of 10 matches that culminates in a title shot. There really isn't much of a story involved, it is more akin to the champion cutting promos to build anticipation and doesn't feature any interaction such as run-ins, but it works just well enough to get the user invested in the process. The 10 matches are mixed up nicely to provide variety by utilizing the different match...

WWE All-Stars Tornado Tag Team Video
Today I thought I'd get up a match featuring multiple users instead of just one vs the CPU and did so with a 'Tornado Tag Team' match. I've found myself favoring the matches that have more than just the standard two participants. The action is pretty much non-stop and the long cinematics for certain moves are cut in favor of the seeing them play out in real-time. It is even more fun when multiple people are involved, though the CPU AI is really respectable all things considered. I just co...

FX Cancels Lights Out
FX has announced that the original series Lights Out will not be returning for a second season. The final two episodes of season one will air as scheduled however. The well received series simply didn't have the ratings to justify its renewal, with recent episodes pulling only a .3 in the critical 18-49 demo, so the news does not come as a surprise. Lights Out joins Terriers which again while critically well received never established a large enough audience on FX despite a passionate fan...

MLB 2011 Player Face Comparison Results
Over 38,000 votes were cast in the MLB 2K11 vs MLB 11: The Show player face comparison polls. It was The Show that came out on top 14-6, which considering the graphical differences between the two games isn't a surprise. The community proved though that the voting wouldn't just go down the line for the favored game and instead cast for the better player representation in each individual match-up. The general consensus though is that both games have quite a bit of room for improvement.Ã...
