Trailer for NBA Jam: On Fire Edition
EA Sports has released a trailer for NBA Jam: On Fire Edition that runs through many of the new features and improvements that will accompany the digital download release. Coming in October the game will go for $15 through XBLA and PSN.

MLB Bobblehead Pros Videos
As I continue to put time in with MLB Bobblehead Pros (which released today on XBLA) to form full impressions here are a couple gameplay videos in the meantime.

Featured here are segments of Yankees at White Sox, Brewers at Reds, and a second Brewers at Reds but in the rain.
Quick thoughts on the game though - it's very fun and plays largely si...
