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 ]

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 ]

2K goes full speed with NBA 2K11

(Editor’s note: Yes, I’m back from vacation! Missed you guys!) It’s never too early to get amped up for the next round of hoops games, and in 2K’s case, they are hitting the ground running with release dates for NBA 2K11 already in tow (and we just started the first round of the playoffs…) According to Gamestop.com, [ READ MORE ]

2K10 irons out more connectivity issues

At some point I think 2K is just going to need to blow up and start anew in regards to their online multiplayer. The NBA 2K series has had gamebreaking problems for two years running while MLB 2K has gotten decidely more inept online the last three seasons. Kotaku notes that the patch for the Xbox 360 [ READ MORE ]

Ryan Kesler covers NHL 2K11

2K Sports was very quick to pull the trigger on its NHL 2K11 cover announcement – soon after confirming plans to go ahead with a Wii exclusive release. Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler will be gracing the game when it hits shelves likely in September. While 2K didn’t go with my original prediction of Ryan Miller, they [ READ MORE ]

MLB Showdown: Small Ball

Today we take a look at the pocket size versions of MLB 10: The Show and MLB 2K10, both which made their way onto Sony’s PSP this season. First – and not really catching me by suprise – is that both titles have seemingly dropped infrastructure support for the long haul. This is a concerning [ READ MORE ]

MLB Showdown: Yes, they still make PS2 games…

Before I get back into the current-gen versions of MLB 10: The Show and MLB 2K10, let’s not forget the other platforms both games have been released on. One of them is the almighty PS2, which simply refuses to die (though the prospects look poor for it living much further outside of August’s Madden NFL [ READ MORE ]

NHL 2K series not dead after all

Somewhat surprising news out of the 2K camp is that the NHL 2K series will not be put on hiatus – it will only be put on Wii. That’s right, NHL 2K11 will be a Wii exclusive, something that crossed my mind as a possibility for the franchise, if only because of the unpredicted success of [ READ MORE ]

MLB Showdown: Screenshot comparison (part one)

I decided to take a few snapshots of MLB 2K10 and MLB 10: The Show and compare them side-by-side. As you can see in the following screens that while SCEA generally got the facial features down (2K does their former cover boy justice when it comes to his hair), 2K10 is no slouch when it [ READ MORE ]
