NBA Live 10 Initial Impressions
The NBA Live series comes into this year with increased expectations after primarily concentrating efforts on improving the gameplay experience rather than adding in new modes. While EA has built out a good feature set the last few years, the primary focus of gameplay was necessary and appears to have paid off if gamer response and early reviews are to be believed. Continue on for my observations from playing NBA Live 10 over the last few days. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comm...

NBA 2K10 My Player Impressions
I have a love-hate relationship with career modes in sports titles. I appreciate the ability to control a single player which in turn simplifies the games and presents clear objectives and measurements of success. At the same time I've always come across certain aspects that have soured the overall experience. Those conflicting feelings continue with NBA 2K10's My Player mode. My first thought after spending time with My Player is that it's obviously vastly superior to what was offered wi...

NBA 2K10 Initial Impressions
Having spent a significant amount of time with NBA 2K10 over the last few days it felt like a good time to post some of my general impressions of the game thus far. Of course make sure to watch the videos I've posted to make your own judgments on some of the strengths and weaknesses. The demo will be out tomorrow for the 360 exclusively with the Magic @ Lakers in a single four minute quarter. From the way things have been explained it sounds like the PS3 won't see it until next Thursday. At ...

The BIGS 2 Initial Impressions
With all that has been going on lately I haven't had much chance to delve into The BIGS 2. This being the sequel to one of my favorite sports games of this generation I had high hopes. At the same time I somewhat expected it to not achieve those hopes because the original was such a surprise and it would only be building off of that. From the demo it was clear the game would remain similar enough but with several enhancements to the experience though a questionable change to the camera. Woul...

Quick Madden 10 Demo Thoughts
Reaction to the demo for Madden NFL 10 thus far has fallen on the positive side. Well, at least that is the case for those who can actually get a feel for the game by having access to the extended demo. While I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate playing the demo I wanted to drop some initial notes I took from running through it a few times and from thinking back to how it compares with the E3 build. Continue on to check out the impressions, screenshots, and video. (more...)...

NCAA Football 10 Impressions
While I haven't been able to spend extensive time with NCAA Football 10 I did want to post up my initial impressions. After reading through some reviews it's clear that the game is getting credit for things it probably shouldn't, but also getting knocked in areas unfairly. I stated in my E3 impressions that people who enjoyed NCAA 09 would likely enjoy NCAA 10 a great deal, and that those who strongly disliked 09 would not feel differently this year. It appears that has come to fruition with...
