The Show and 2K10 Soundtracks
Both SCEA and 2K Sports have released their respective soundtrack listings for MLB 10: The Show and MLB 2K10. I've always found myself enjoying the songs included on baseball games more than any others. They seem to be able to fit the spring/summer mood and are usually more upbeat than those included in other games. Continue on check out the tracks and leave your thoughts in the comments!

Redbox Joins To Delay DVD Releases
I've written on multiple occasions about how the movie studios are making an effort to increase DVD sales with their latest idea being a sales only period before the movies are offered for rental. Warner Brothers was the first to strike a deal with Netflix for a 28 day delay period.
Redbox has been seen as a rebel given their disregard for what the studios wanted. This unfortunately has left them on the outside looking in, with Redbox employees having to purchase DVDs at retail stores for f...
The Future of College Basketball Gaming
Within a three year span no sport has taken a hit in the sports gaming world as severely as basketball. There used to be five total titles with three NBA games and two NCAA games. Now there are two NBA titles (with one possibly on its last legs) and none for college. Why has this happened specifically to the NCAA offerings and what is the current outlook on the eventual future of college basketball gaming?

3D Screens About To Be Stretched Thin
With all the discussion about how 3D is taking off and studios jumping on the bandwagon its easy to overlook that theaters still have not converted enough screens to handle demand for more than one new film at a time. The most recent count was approximately 3400 3D screens nationwide out of nearly 40,000 total screens.
The cost of converting, being upwards of $100K per screen, has caused hesitation in the past with uncertainty that it would be worth the investment. However leading up to the...
MLB 2K10 Team Ratings
While everyone waits for the first gameplay videos to arrive for MLB 2K10, Game Informer has been posting a running blog detailing the experience with the game in My Player and Franchise. Just added to the blog earlier today are the overall ratings for every team with the default rosters.
Keep in mind that these team ratings are likely reflections of rosters as of January 15th which is when the roster cut-off generally takes place for MLB games. Updated rosters could alter the team ratings ...
Captain America Casting Rumors Swirling
With director Joe Johnston now completely freed up with the release of The Wolfman the current focus for Captain America appears to be on the casting which should be completed in the coming weeks. The movie is expected to begin shooting in June so the decisions are going to be made very soon. Because of that media outlets are doing everything they can to try and get a scoop.
Johnston has previously described the desire to give the lead role to an unknown actor and one that should be in his ...
Kurt Warner Returning To Madden 10
Late last week I posted a poll regarding the removal of a few players in the final Madden 10 roster update who had retired following the end of their season but before the NFL season was officially over. Kurt Warner, Bertrand Berry, and Junior Seau were completely taken out of the game in the update. The poll and accompanying comments were heavily in favor of keeping players on the rosters given that they finished off the seasons with their respective teams. Lead producer from the Madden serie...
Suh Could Be On One NCAA 11 Cover
It has been rumored (to no one's surprise) that Tim Tebow will be on the cover of NCAA Football 11. What has remained uncertain is whether Tebow would be the universal cover athlete or if he would just be on a single version with different players appearing on the others. The last two years have had a different cover athlete represent the 360, PS3, PS2, and PSP. Tebow though has the collegiate stature that potentially could have been tempting enough for EA to consider using him as the sole cov...
