Despite the small changes, NCAA '12 continues its longstanding legacy of great college football simulation.
NCAA '12 brings improved presentation, similar gameplay, and a few new features to the table this year. While NCAA '12 is a great football game, it doesn't completely outdo last year's NCAA '11.
EA Sports announces Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters available for both PC and Mac September 6.
Lace up your gloves, the latest round of Fight Night throws a solid hook.
I have been an avid fan of the Fight Night series since it was released back on the Xbox seven years ago. Fight Night Champion is the latest in the long running series and it without question lived up to my expectations, acting as a successful follow up to Fight Night Round 4.
Boom-Shaka-Laka! This arcade classic gets a second shot.
EA Sports has just announced that it is working on a sequel to their very popular reboot of NBA Jam. This time the only difference is that it’s only available through download. NBA Jam: On Fire Edition brings back the high flying dunks this October for both Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
Jesus Bynum rises to play basketball after all.
Well what do you know? EA Sports is still working hard on bringing their NBA sim franchise back to life. It was only last November that we found out their reboot “NBA Elite 11” was being cancelled. The game’s plan was to completely rework the image of EA’s NBA franchise and give it a fresh start. The plan backfired when players got their hands on the demo and birthed the infamous “Jesus Bynum” revealing the much needed work the game still needed to go through.
There’s no Franchise mode or multiplayer, but you can draw out your own plays from the line of scrimmage with the touch screen – oh yeah, and that whole stereoscopic 3D thing.
Showing up at the party early, Madden NFL Football is jumping its typical release schedule to be available for the 3DS launch. Unlike most titles in the series, the game doesn’t bear the year in the title, making it somewhat of a special release. As such, the game isn’t quite as complete as the typical yearly Madden release. Based on the 2011 roster, the game does offer a variety of gameplay modes, but lacks both multiplayer and the series’ trademark Franchise mode.
A kick in the wrong direction.
As sports games become more complex, the harder they become to make on the Wii. Last year's FIFA had a number of problems in terms of both control and gameplay. It was a very generic game that didn't really have any unique or compelling controls like many Wii games possess.
Improved controls and an online mode give the HD versions of NBA Jam a leg up on the Wii title.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has many fond memories spent playing countless hours of the original NBA Jam titles. The over-the-top antics were undoubtedly the attraction; breaking the backboard, playable mascots, the Clintons, "Boom-shaka-laka", "He's on Fire!", rampant fouling, and fast-paced down-to-the-second gameplay. All of it is back in this latest edition of the series now under the control of EA Sports after the closing of originator, Midway.
It's that time again, kids!
Time for PB & Jason! This issue is devoted to just a few things, most notably Keiji Inafune's Capcom departure, NBA Jam, and Rock Band 3.
Did EA drop the ball?
