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 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.)

The hunt for Fritz Chess – the Wii’s first “rare” game…

It was late June of 2009, the sunny, summer weather now hitting all parts of the great United States.

Operation Sports has a very cool interview with Tecmo Bowl Throwback Producer, Mike Fahrny. You can read it here. Definitely looking forward to this one, especially the multiplayer and [ READ MORE ]

March release calendar

Welcome to March, where its in like a lion and out like a lamb. That old adage couldn’t be more true in regards to our release calendar, which comes out firing with MLB 10: The Show and MLB 2K10 (not to mention Battlefield 2 on the same day, shall we call tomorrow ‘Super Tuesday’?) and [ READ MORE ]

Most expensive sports game in history?

Look no further than Stadium Events for the NES, a sealed copy sold for $41,300 earlier today. What?!? Considering that’s almost double what I take in per year, I can barely fathom $100 when it comes to video games (to date, NBA 2K10 Limited Edition is the only game I ponied up that much dough for) and [ READ MORE ]
