I am scheduled to be on EA Sports Madden Draft Experience live show sometime between the 20th and 25th picks. ...

With the NFL Draft only a few days away the anticipation is at a fever pitch.

Don't forget to track the events today and submit some suggestions for questions by following me on Twitter. Here is my full attempt at a two round mock draft. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments. (more...)...

UFC 2009 Demo Impressions and Videos
As just recently reported the demo for UFC 2009 Undisputed will be available next Thursday for the 360 and PS3. There was no indication of anything more to it, however Gamestop is now giving out codes to unlock and download the 360 version of the demo early to those who have preordered the game. This is how I was able to get the demo yesterday and now I am very thankful that I did. Given that UFC is a new franchise I've remained hesitant to commit too much hope to it. In may be due in p...

Is Peyton Manning the Madden 10 Cover Athlete?
The place-holder cover for Madden 10 was recently posted by Gamestop. Usually this leads to some speculation as to whether the silhouette image is the actual cover or if it's something generic that will be replaced after the official announcement. In the past there have been times it has turned out to be the cover image but more often it wasn't. The ones for NCAA Football 10 are actually the covers from 09 just switched around. So I took a look at the one for Madden 10. For whatever reaso...

EA Sports Season Opener Overview
Coming out of the EA Sports Season Opener event I wanted to drop a few thoughts on some of the games that were on display. I won't have full extensive write-ups on them but from my interaction with them will now have additional insight leading up to their releases. I also had the opportunity to interview Peter Moore which I'll be discussing in the near future. Check out the screenshot gallery for the latest images from these games. Tiger Woods 10 Outside of Fight Night I'd say this was t...

The Wrap-Up: MLB 2K9
Heading into the release of MLB 2K9 there was a certain sense of optimism. Outside of one clearly identified problem everything pointed towards an improved offering, one that while maybe not great would be enough to satisfy baseball gaming fans on the 360. Unfortunately it didn't take long to realize that not only did that not turn out to be the case, but it is far worse than anyone would've anticipated. (more...)...

The Wrap-Up: MLB 09 The Show
At times I've had some difficulty writing about The Show over the last couple months which is actually due to what a quality product 08 was. Usually you can assess the previous iteration and have an idea of what you're looking for out of the next. With 08 the only real glaring weakness was with online play. It is tougher to identify and discuss the improvements to a game when it was already so good to begin with. So that's where I start when evaluating MLB 09 The Show. I already knew it w...
