Amidst all the furore surrounding EA's re-release of NBA Jam last year, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the game actually released on PlayStation 3 last year
We saw it in a shop once. Originally intended as a pre-order bonus, then a PSN release, before ending up as a boxed retail title, most people had forgotten they wanted NBA Jam by the time...
So, we're not totally hot on realistic golf games
We prefer our video game golf to involve three button presses, cute characters and annoying accents. Still, the refined PlayStation Move support touted in the upcoming Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: Masters Edition certainly has our attention piqued. And if Game Hunters are to be believed, we might get to...

News EA Promising a Less Kinky Tiger Woods Experience This Year

News Feign Excitement: Call Of Duty: Black Ops Is The UK's Best Selling Game Of 2010
Surprise!
We nearly called it and then we were like, nah, too crazy. Who'd have thought Call Of Duty: Black Ops would become the UK's best selling game of 2010? Our money was on the Nintendo Wii's Just Dance. We were close. That came in second. But blimey. Black Ops — crazy that. Gran Turismo 5 fared pretty well, coming third on the PlayStation...
UK Charts There Were No New Releases Last Week So This Post Isn't Very Interesting
FIFA 11 and Just Dance 2 are still the UK's favourite games
Probably because no games have released since before Christmas. All that changes this week though: new video games actually release. It's going to be interesting to see where DC Universe Online ends up charting — we feel like the game's beta has pumped some real positive feedback around...

News Oh Right, Fight Night Champion Does Look Proper Gritty
We don't think EA could have made a better trailer to capture the essence of what they're trying to achieve with Fight Night Champion
When the game was announced there was a lot of PR hyperbole about how EA intended to capture the "dark and gritty" backdrop surrounding the sport of boxing. We didn't read much into it. But if the full game...

While The Fight: Lights Out is far from perfect, our hands-on time with the game made us realise that there's something in this "motion controlled beat 'em up" thing

E3 2010 EA Sports MMA Says "Eat My Fists" In October
Sorry, we switched off during Peter Moore's presentation of EA Sports MMA during EA's press conference last night

FIFA games are really, really good
Seriously, ever since FIFA 08 (roughly), EA Sports have been on a roll with the franchise. The thing is, FIFA screenshots are really, really boring. This first screen from FIFA 11 is no exception. It's Chelsea vs. Arsenal. It's John Terry. Wooohooo.

We're sorry. When someone says football we think of the sport where you, y'know, play with your feet. Not that other game people call football that's absolutely not football. Take the cover for Madden 11, which features Drew Brees (apparently). It shows the man holding a ball in his hand. Football. Mmmhm. We wanted to tell you...
