Videogame Releases: PS4 Launch Edition

Brian Hoss — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:00:18 +0000

With apologies to the Wii U, the next generation of videogame consoles begins with the PS4, and the launch of a new console means launch games to go with it! All in all, the launch lineup is a mixed bag. It’s heavy with games that are available on other platforms, and it’s missing both ‘Watch...

A promising cult classic and the first enjoyable bits of pro football lead this week’s dynamic set of videogame releases.

For the second straight week, Megatron stalks the videogame world. The difference in that that this week’s Megatron is a Detroit Lion who may or may not be cursed for the season.

Notes From Ubisoft’s E3 Briefing with a Few Splices from EA

Brian Hoss — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:00:38 +0000

Ubisoft may have stolen the show at E3 the year with the announcement of ‘Watch Dogs’ and demonstrations of the Wii U. Meanwhile, played it safe until making one show-stopping gaffe. Start the Party While Ubisoft’s presentation began shakily with another ‘Dance Party’ and some awkward co-hosting antics, the company had already struck big with...

Videogame Releases: Week of August 28th, 2011

Dick Ward — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 15:00:52 +0000

It’s another slow week for videogames without too much new coming out except for a First Person Shooter by Codemasters, which is pretty, you know, blah. But if you’re into football – and based on sales, much of the videogame playing world is – there’s a little franchise called ‘Madden’ that may pique your interest....

I had a class once with an Australian guy. This is slightly relevant. We were asked to stand up, introduce ourselves and talk about our interests. Aussie man stood proudly and said, “My name’s Pete and I love gridiron!” Well, if Pete plays videogames, he’s a happy man today. Because it’s ‘Madden’ day, that’s why....

Hey Sports Games, How About a Tutorial For the Uninitiated?

Dick Ward — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 19:00:36 +0000

Yeah, I’ll come right out and say it – I don’t watch sports. Okay, I dabbled in basketball for a while, but that’s it. I’ve never cared for football, I find baseball excruciating and I just plain don’t get the appeal of watching hockey. Even the World Cup tournament didn’t get me excited. Watching other...
