Over the last year or so I've really started to take more of an interest in soccer, and though I've found myself enjoying the FIFA franchise it has been to a somewhat limited extent.

The actual standard mode hasn't been all that compelling to me. In the past I've had a tendency to enjoy the off-year FIFA tit...

Madden 11 Pre-Release Reviews Limited to Single Event Viewing (Update)
(Update) According to a statement from EA, they are in fact going to send out review copies before the review embargo is lifted. They did not however deny that there will be a "review event" held or detail the timeline involved with that and when copies would go out. Not too long ago Activision took a lot of heat for a review tactic they used with Tony Hawk: Ride.

UFC 2010 Undisputed Fighter Ratings
The overall ratings for each fighter in UFC 2010 Undisputed has been revealed over at Gamezone. These apparently come from a preview build which means they may not be finalized. Interestingly no fighter comes in rated higher than a 79. How the scale works may simply be different than the normal up to 99 that is found in most sports games. Maybe of more concern is that there is not much separation between the premiere fighters and everyone else. Only 9-11 points separate the top rated from t...

Trailer for Secret JJ Abrams Project Debuting With Iron Man 2
When the trailer for Cloverfield arrived from out of nowhere while attached to Transformers it created a ton of buzz that ultimately carried all the way to a big opening for a movie which had no big name stars. That trailer didn't even include the eventual name for the movie, instead just throwing up the release date at the end. It was extremely effective as rarely can anything coming from Hollywood surprise audiences in the way that did these days. Cloverfield was created and produced by J...

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3D Sequel Coming
Though A Nightmare on Elm Street was universally panned it was able to pull in $32 million its first weekend. That made it the biggest opening for a horror film ever in the April-May months. That was enough to already prompt Warner Bros and New Line to give the go ahead on a sequel. It should be of little surprise by now that of course the sequel will be in 3D. The $32 million is certainly very good, but the film's internal mutliplier suggests that it is going to drop like a rock over the c...
