NHL 2K11 Early Impressions

With a few days under the belt to give NHL 2K11 a run-through, I feel I’ve had enough time to draw up a few conclusions on the game (and the state of the franchise), thought – to be fair – I’ve yet to dive headfirst into the deeper modes (like franchise). My impressions are strictly [ READ MORE ]

NHL 2K11 Gameplay Video

2K Sports’ hockey series has had an interesting life. It debuted on the Dreamcast as NHL 2K, a game that broke ground graphically and turned a few heads away from EA’s by-the-book NHL series. In later years, the 2K series actually set the standard for hockey gameplay, with the series early PS2 and Xbox installments [ READ MORE ]

Glitchfest: Chicago Bears’ hidden alternates in Madden

So last night I was playing my week seven game in Madden NFL 11 as the Redskins at the Bears. Early in the first quarter I noticed the Chicago Bears players on the sideline all had on some special alternate uniform. Check it out… The glitch existed throughout the entire game, only slightly hampering the overall [ READ MORE ]

LeBron gets Bieber’d…and it’s epic

By now I’m sure you’ve seen all the fuss with Justin Bieber and the 800% slowdown “mix” of his single “U Smile, I Smile”. Yes, the song gets stretched out too an epic 30+ minutes long and sounds something close to being out in the middle of the ocean at night, swimming with a pack [ READ MORE ]

Back…with a vengeance??

Yeah…so I’m still here… Why did I leave for awhile? Oh let’s count the ways. Actually let’s make that 1, 2, THREE jobs in the summer. I’m finishing up school as well. Hanging out with friends and family when I can. Needless to say, TSG went on the backburner. That, and as much as I love [ READ MORE ]

Will you pay to play?

As someone who almost always purchases the latest sports title the day it hits stores, this news doesn’t affect me as much personally. But for you used game connoisseurs, and there are many, EA wants to make sure your sending some of your $ there way when you purchase a used title. EA will begin charging [ READ MORE ]

The most realistic team footy ever?

After a couple weeks of hands-on gameplay with the current-gen version of 2010 FIFA World Cup, I can now convey some of my final impressions of the game. As a casual FIFA vet, having 40 games under my belt gives me a pretty good feeling about what the game offers opposed to past titles in [ READ MORE ]

The world stage, bite-sized

I found it really hard to believe that the PSP has passed its fifth birthday, it feels more like it should be three or four. Throughout all the criticism of the unit, the UMD format and the PSPGo revision (which, in my opinion, was a major misstep), Sony has been able to keep the mighty [ READ MORE ]

The conundrum that is Deep Silver’s Fritz Chess (or, the Wii’s first “rare” game Pt. 2)

(Editor’s note: If you haven’t read my little piece on Fritz Chess , please click here, or just scroll down a few posts…it’s not that difficult.) OK, so in between my April 25th post on Fritz Chess, a witty back-and-forth banter with collectors on digitpress.com (if your a member, just head to the forums, go to [ READ MORE ]
