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 ]

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.

With 2010 FIFA World Cup comes a slew of new online features ready for the soccernista to dig their teeth into. Of course, you can always play a straight up online ranked game, but the Online World Cup mode is where EA is hoping you spend most of your time. First of all, before I get [ READ MORE ]

Worldwide Wii

It wouldn’t be right if the world’s greatest sporting spectacle didn’t have its home on the Wii. EA’s 2010 FIFA World Cup for PS3 and Xbox 360 may have more of the gaming world’s attention now, but don’t overlook Nintendo’s console, which brings a fast-paced, arcade version of the World Cup to your home. If you’ve [ READ MORE ]

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.
