Has Someone Already Won the MLB 2K11 Perfect Game Contest?
By all accounts the $1 Million Perfect Game Contest for MLB 2K11 has proven to be more challenging than that of MLB 2K10 which ended on the very first day. Whether it be due to the difficulty being adjusted, the addition of errors and less reliable fielding, or any number of bugs or freezing issues there has been more frustration communicated about the contest this year. It now appears though that at least one person has achieved a perfect game within the special dedicated mode as a video...

Brief WWE All-Stars Online Impressions
As an arcade-style game WWE All-Stars has a lot riding on its head-to-head experience and in particular online play.

Brief Thoughts on WWE All-Stars Path of Champions Mode and Elimination Video
Without going into any spoilers "Path of Champions" is the story mode for WWE All-Stars that involves completing a series of 10 matches that culminates in a title shot. There really isn't much of a story involved, it is more akin to the champion cutting promos to build anticipation and doesn't feature any interaction such as run-ins, but it works just well enough to get the user invested in the process. The 10 matches are mixed up nicely to provide variety by utilizing the different match...
WWE All-Stars Tornado Tag Team Video
Today I thought I'd get up a match featuring multiple users instead of just one vs the CPU and did so with a 'Tornado Tag Team' match.

WWE All-Stars Triple Threat Video
With WWE All-Stars in hand I'm looking at producing some content for the game each day through its release next week. Up first is a video of a triple threat match involving The Rock, John Cena, and Hulk Hogan. Those three were the most requested on Twitter when I sent out the message for who should face off in the video earlier today.
This is a quick look at the mode which has a little bit of everything. When multiple participants are in the ring your wrestler can focus on one by using th...

EA Sports has released the first trailer for Madden NFL 12. The teaser trailer provides the initial glimpses at the upcoming game and also reveals some features set to be introduced. One that stood out was the "Custom Playbooks" which has been long requested and will be a very welcome addition. There is more to pour over and pick out of the trailer than just that including what appears to be player "tendencies", "dynamic ratings", mascots and cheerleaders, and the surprise onside kicks.
