EA Relegates Another Important Decision to Fans

The boys at EA got the fans involved in February by having an open vote on who should grace the cover of this year’s release. The choices were Reggie Wayne, Drew Brees, and Jared Allen, and if you know what’s good for you you would have voted for Allen. Just saying. Now EA has taken [...]

Looking At Personal Bias And NBA Referees

Admittedly, I’m a Toronto Raptors fan. I know… it’s not exactly something to brag about. But back before Vince Carter was the most hated man in town, there were some happy times. VC and Tracy McGrady rocked the rim for one season, while guys like Antonio Davis, Charles Oakley and JYD got plenty of love [...]

Sam Bradford’s final season at Oklahoma ended early, as the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner suffered a shoulder injury in the first game of his junior season.

Madden 11 To Feature Improved Receiving

It’s no secret to Madden gamers that receivers have plenty of trouble making catches. Sure, they usually hold onto the ball, but it’s plenty frustrating to watch your guy run back towards the quarterback or fail to get both feet in-bounds.

Console Crisis: PS3 and Wii Shortages!

So there’s good news and bad news in the video game world. Both the PS3 and the Wii are sold out, both online and in the B&M stores (that’s brick and mortar, guys, don’t start going to “toilet humor.”) And nobody can pinpoint the exact reason for these consoles flying off the shelves. At this [...]

3-D or not 3-D, that is the Question

With 3-D mania taking over the multiplex – Avatar 3-D! Alice in Wonderland 3-D! Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3-D! (okay, scratch that last one) – it was only a matter of time before the home video game market made their move. And made it they have, with Nintendo’s announcement of their portable 3-D gaming [...]

Tar Heels Can Make History At NIT

Most years, making the Final Four is a cause for celebration. But this March, things are a little different for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Instead of needing two wins for the NCAA championship, the perennial powerhouse will be looking to capture the less prestigious National Invitation Tournament title. With a 60-55 win over No. [...]
