REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

EA Announces NFL Blitz

Posted on Tuesday, October 18 @ 15:14:52 Eastern by


Confirming rumors throughout the internet, Electronic Arts has announced their remake of Midway's classic NFL Blitz series that serves a mean counterpoint to EA's Madden series. Of course, since EA has the NFL license this time around, we're just going to see Electronic Arts competing against, well, itself. And the license itself doesn't hurt.

Electronic Arts is comfortable with remakes, considering their experience with NBA Jam, and putting this revival in the hands of EA Tiburon is smart. I'm sure they're tired of minor Madden updates by now.

Some hands-on details with EGM reveals that the remake stays true with the original: 30-yard first downs, 2-minute quarters, ridiculous tackles, exaggerated muscles, classic cheats, and a lack of proper refereeing. To bring it into modern times, the graphics engine has been completely revamped, a ton of modes have been added including online, and well, let's just say that you should expect a DLC and pre-order program that we've come to expect from EA now...

    Dear Nick,

    If it takes you that long to make a first down, you're playing the game wrong.

    Sincerely,
    Masterwabbit.

    Just tried out NBA Jam a few days ago after being very skeptical, great game....but **** the AI.

    Will pick this up as NFL Blitz was my favorite sports game when I was a kid.

    "...when I was a kid." I thought you were still a kid, but then again anyone under thirty is a kid.

    I played the crap out of this in high school. I remember getting out of 5th period and going to my friend's house and playing this for an hour before swim practice daily.

    Just make the right game the first time and price it reasonably (compared to NBA Jam). That's all I ask.
