First Look at Fight Night Champion Gameplay
A brand new preview of Fight Night Champion has gone up on Inside Xbox. Discussion centers on some of the improvements that have been made for the game with the new analog punching controls, flash KOs, "Champion" mode, being the first M rated title from EA Sports, and more.

NBA Jam Initial Impressions
NBA Jam does many things well but still faces quite a bit of scrutiny. Arguably the biggest question centers on value given that EA Sports eroded the brand by advertising it as being "free" with NBA Elite 11. Value is always a subjective thing but I don't see that being the problem with the game.

Fight Night 10/22 Recap
The first Friday Night Fights with EA Sports MMA turned out to be a big success. The Fight Cards feature is so much fun when a group of people get together as was the case last night. We ended up going for two and a half hours (I believe five total cards) and it was really enjoyable even in just watching the other fights.
It turned out that there was overflow and not everyone could be involved on each card. To my surprise the Fight Card rooms allow for 10 people to be in but limit the card ...
