The Line Drive 3/21
The Line Drive is a weekly collection of news, links, and updates that didn’t necessarily warrant their own postings.

THQ has posted a short blog entry discussing the changes to striking for UFC 2010 Undisputed here. The latest mascot addition to NCAA Football 11 is the TCU 'SuperFrog'. You can see the render in the screensho...

MLB 10: The Show vs MLB 2K10 Player Face Comparison – Part One
It is always worthwhile to compare different elements of competing games and the visuals are initially the easiest to do so. I went ahead and grabbed screenshots of 20 popular MLB players in order to judge how well their faces were rendered in MLB 10: The Show and MLB 2K10. The screenshots were captured using the same method so as to eliminate any difference in quality produced by the screenshot features of the particular games. Continue on to check out 10 of the players up against each oth...

The Line Drive 3/14
The Line Drive is a weekly collection of news, links, and updates that didn’t necessarily warrant their own postings. Three new mascots have been announced for NCAA Football 11 so far.

The pre-order deal for Tiger Woods 11 at Gamestop will be a free download of the Riviera Golf Club. The PS3 version of Tiger Woods 11 will include support for the Pla...

After spending some time online with MLB 10: The Show and reading a large number of accounts from others it can be determined that overall the perf...

The Line Drive 3/7
The Line Drive is a weekly collection of news, links, and updates that didn’t necessarily warrant their own postings. Many are already claiming to have pitched qualifying perfect games for the MLB 2K10 contest, going as far as to post pictures of the code that appears after doing so. 2K Sports will not be revealing the winner until June. Given the number of rules involved there is no way to know whether the $1 million contest is, in essence, already over. Much has been made of E...
