NCAA Football 11 Demo Matchup
Through a release of new screenshots (check them out in the gallery) EA Sports has revealed that the NCAA Football 11 demo will feature Ohio State vs Miami. Notably though it has not been explicitly stated if those are the only two teams to choose from as usually the teams included in the demo are from the previous year's championship game. There doesn't seem to be a good reason to have gone from Alabama vs Texas to OSU and Miami. Also noted from the screens are the inclusion of the team's Nik...

The Line Drive 6/6
The Line Drive is a weekly collection of news, links, and updates that didn’t necessarily warrant their own postings. The Backbreaker demo for the PS3 will be arriving on June 15th. That hits on the same day that E3 opens and the NCAA Football 11 demo goes out for the PS3 (prior day for 360). The latest NCAA Football 11 blogs have been rather thin with one discussing prospects in dynasty mode and the other a discussion on the one-back formation. A German website...

ThunderCats Reboot Coming to Cartoon Network
Warner Brothers has announced they have begun production on a 21st century re-imagination of the 1980s classic ThunderCats for the Cartoon Network. They also released the first teaser image which definitely suggests there will be a darker tone. No word yet on when the show could make its debut. I grew up watching ThunderCats, and though it wasn't my favorite show at the time I'll definitely be interested to see what they do with it now. The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers...

EA Sports has unveiled the team ratings for Madden 11 via Gamespot. The top rated team in the game will be no surprise with the reigning Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints pulling in a 92 rating.

UFC 2010 Selling Below Expectations
Last year UFC 2009 broke onto the scene with huge sales numbers exceeding even the most optimistic of expectations. The game went on to be the highest selling sports title in the US behind only Madden 10. UFC 2009 seemed to catch gamers by surprise with its demo and then an impressive final product (particularly for a first attempt) which and in turn led to fantastic word-of-mouth carrying it beyond just hardcore UFC fans. UFC 2010 Undisputed arrived without the benefit of that surprise factor...

Two new comedies, a sci-fi horror entry, and a family film arrive this weekend in hopes of grabbing the top spot at the box office away from Shrek Forever After. All four may end up falling short though as none of them seem to have have break-out potential. (more…)...

The Latest Look at EA Sports MMA Footage
For a game this isn't scheduled to release for another five months or so we've been able to get a number of unprecedented opportunities to see early EA Sports MMA gameplay. With E3 only a week and a half away this is probably my most anticipated game to spend time with. I came across a new video that includes Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and features some gameplay and quick glances at things like fighter entrances and post-fight celebrations. Considering how much time there is left in developm...
