EA Sports Sticking with Tiger Woods
While Madden may get the press and the coverage, EA Sport’s golfing franchise is a consistent performer. Unfortunately, that franchise also has disgraced golfer Tiger Woods on the cover, and in the title. With multiple corporate sponsors dropping Woods, Peter Moore announced on a blog post that EA isn’t dropping Tiger: By his own admission, he’s [...]

Sunday, December 13, 2009
Spike’s Video Game Awards may still be of dubious credibility, but at the very least, it’s like a mini-E3 with the amount of trailer reveals.

Sunday, August 23, 2009
Remember NHL 3-on-3 Arcade for the Xbox Live Arcade and PSN? It was a fun diversion, featuring the actual NHL 09 engine, big-headed players, a fine sense of speed, and smooth gameplay. All it really needed were some actual modes to enjoy that engine in, because exhibition play grew old quickly. Apparently, that must have been [...]

The first few minutes of G.I. Joe are promising. Yes, the distant camera pulls you out of the combat, but there is something familiar about the opening sequence. It is nearly a remake of the classic Konami G.I. Joe arcade game, in which the player controlled a member of the elite team, moving forward into [...]
