    Falling a heavy but not totally unanticipated 58% from last weekend Iron Man 2 topped the box office charts with $53 million. That takes its domestic total to $212 million after just 10 days. The sequel has not had quite the same word of mouth that drove the original. That one surprised many while the follow-up carried much heavier expectations. Iron Man 2 is ahead by about $20 million compared to the original after the 10 days but the possibility remains that it will not end up out-grossin...

    THQ has released a new video detailing the online Fight Camps feature being introduced in UFC 2010 Undisputed. Not much had been known about the online league-like system other than it would allow for teammates to train together, would track records and stats, and would tie into the new community website. Unfortunately the video doesn't go into specific details such as the max number of fighters per camp or whether created fighters, existing fighters, or both can be used in camps. It does h...

    EA Sports has released a new blog that focuses on QBs. Specifically how dual-threat QBs can be defended and adjustments made to QBs throwing while getting hit. You can check out the full blog posting here which includes a couple pre-play screens. Those can also be seen in the screenshot gallery. The dual threat QB's are often times the hardest to stop.  A defense must be able to account for the QB running the ball while also playing enough pass defense to not allow big plays through the ai...

This is expected to be the first of several trailers that will be released as the premiere nears. I won't go into some of the things I noted in the trailer at the risk of spoiling events that have taken place for those who haven't seen the first two seasons. However there are definitely some interesting developments hinted at within it and I'm hopeful that Eric will be a primary ...
