NBA Live OTP night two recap
Both of the second night games were evenly matched and well played. I've definitely noticed improvement as everyone playing has gotten more comfortable with the mode, their assignments, and communication. One aspect I haven't really written much about is how great it is to have communication with only your teammates. Next year hopefully they'll have more ways to take advantage of that (setting picks, posting up, ect). Despite that it is tough getting back on defense to prevent easy hoops bec...
NBA Live OTP night one recap
Another two games of NBA Live 08 OTP will be played tonight and after the success of the first night I'm really looking forward to it. The games were a lot of fun and it was nice to have some teamwork and ball distribution to go along with no lag to speak of. The six minute quarters seemed to be the right length as well. Just a great experience all around. Both games had 3 users on each team with the other two players controlled by the CPU. Thanks to everyone who participated.
Tonight the...
MLB 2K8 IGN hands-on and videos
IGN has posted up the first hands-on preview and four short gameplay clips for MLB 2K8. The improvements to the gameplay and new mechanics are the main focus of the preview.
When people think of baseball they think of four key elements: batting, pitching, fielding, and throwing. 2K Sports has changed the way you'll be doing each of these for MLB 2K8.
Graphically the game doesn't seem to have the same edge it did last year and that could be due to the improved framerate and having to make c...
FIFA Street 3 demo impressions and video
Going in to playing the demo, which came out for the 360 and PS3 earlier today, I didn't really know what I would think of it. I've taken a liking to the games on the "arcade" side more over the past few years enjoying those such as NBA Street, The BIGS, and NFL Tour. However I'm not a soccer fan and don't relate to or recognize the majority of the players so would that make the game less enjoyable?
I really like the visual style of the game. From the players (which come off as caricature...
Even more videos from MLB 08: The Show
The blitz is on with media from MLB 08: The Show. Earlier IGN released a few short gameplay clips. Now both gametrailers and gamevideos have posted footage of their own.
GV has Yankees vs Red Sox, while GT has the same NY-BOS matchup in one and a second features Braves vs Mets. They run from a little over a minute up to 2 1/2 minutes long. Continue on to view the videos.

MLB 08: The Show gameplay videos and screenshots
IGN has posted up a new set of screenshots (some of which are menu screens) as well as three gameplay videos from MLB 08: The Show (PS3). The gameplay screenshots definitely don't have the same crisp look to them as the others that have been released and it may be that they weren't captured in HD. That is true with the videos which makes a big difference.
Continue on to watch the approximately minute long videos which feature the Cardinals vs Cubs at Wrigley.

NFL Tour Tournament Results
Thanks to everyone who took part in the tournament. It went relatively smoothly and turned out to be a lot of fun. It was nice having a large group in just enjoying the games. The lack of time commitment for each one was a real benefit to coordinating and completing the tournament successfully.
Here is the final bracket.
After starting with 15 teams it came down to the championship game which saw pigskin18 (Cowboys) taking on elmira express (Seahawks). By a score of 29-20 it was elmira...
NFL Tour highlight video
Here is a collection of highlights using replay video from NFL Tour. There have been some plays that I wish I had captured but unfortunately wasn't recording at the time, however this is a pretty good set and has a mix of different teams and players.
