NCAA Football 12 Online Play Impressions
With an online integrated feature as deep as Online Dynasty in NCAA Football, the series' suite online play options automatically starts at a floor higher than any other sports title to date. With the typical ranked games, unranked with numerous options, Teambuilder, and more there is no shortage of features. With NCAA Football 12 the Online Dynasty has gotten even better and general online play so far has been stable which is encouraging for the days ahead. (more...)...

MLB Bobblehead Pros: Hits and Misses
MLB Bobblehead Pros arrived on the Xbox Live Marketplace last week (PSN release upcoming) for $10. Made by Konami, the game basically takes the well regarded Power Pros series and re-skins the player models as 'bobbleheads' for the HD consoles. The series has always been a sim at heart despite the cartooney look and that tradition lives on with MLB Bobblehead Pros. Considering the price point there is a lot of content being offered with the promise of more support coming down the line throug...

NCAA Football 12 Road to Glory Impressions
Yesterday I posted my overall impressions of NCAA Football 12 and included some brief thoughts on Road to Glory mode. Largely neglected since debuting as 'Race for the Heisman' in NCAA Football 06 and also going by the 'Campus Legend' name for a few iterations the career mode now adds in motivating factors establishing more of an investment in progression for users however some underlying issues remain.

NCAA Football 12 Impressions
NCAA Football 12 has experienced its share of ups and downs in the lead-up to its Tuesday release. The series continues to present one of the strongest feature sets amongst sports games and comes off a well-regarded iteration. It has stumbled in the last month or so however as EA Sports committed several missteps that hampered anticipation levels and followed that with notable indications of desperation on their part to build back some excitement. After spending an extensive amount of time a...

NCAA Football 12 Demo Impressions
Judging from community reaction the demo for NCAA Football 12 has been received relatively well though it hasn't seemed to inspire much excitement. From from a gameplay and presentation standpoint NCAA Football is maybe becoming all too familiar but the franchise still carries one of the strongest feature sets amongst all the yearly sports offerings which would seem to be enough to keep it on high ground.

9 Innings Baseball 2011 Impressions
Finally a legitimate sports game has come to Android while it has been available on iOS as well for some time now. During all the traveling involved with the E3 trip I downloaded 9 Innings Baseball 2011 and was impressed with the total package especially given that the game is free for Android and only .99 on iOS devices.

Madden NFL 12 at E3: Impressions
It's always difficult to express detailed impressions of games coming out of E3. The environment and time pressure makes it difficult to dig into the games, the noise drowns out the audio, and everything is new so the tendency is to over-value the emotion felt when playing. Instead I've generally tried to get across the vibe towards a game following the event - not just of my own but of the others in attendance - and compare that to expectations and the experience of having seen how from ...

UFC Undisputed 3 at E3: Impressions
Heading into E3 THQ had already announced a range of features for the upcoming UFC Undisputed 3 that is scheduled to release in January. Considering the timing it would have been asking a bit much to expect hands-on gameplay and even what was presented was more than would have been anticipated a few weeks ago. A nearly ten minute video was shown which went over many of the features and improvements being introduced in UFC 3 along with actual gameplay footage. We came away from the present...

Because Jean-Claude Van Damme you're sexy!” If you didn’t know any better you might fooled into thinking Icebreaker was a cheesy pickup line app, chock full of gems like this one guaranteed to keep your dwindling batting average above the Mendoza Line (That or Muay Thai kicked in the face if there is a relation).
