Re: OT: New Music?

Very cool to see Eddie Vedder selling more than a few copies of Ukulele Songs. Took a few listens to grow on me, but what a great album.

Re: Madden NFL 12

Tons of guys who always say the sky is falling are obviously calling out many of the E3 videos for the drop backs. While people who cover this stuff all say the game is a nice improvement and are saying the drop back thing is being ove blown. Considering no one knows who is playing, what level they...

Re: Madden NFL 12

I like some of what I'm seeing -- the post play camera cuts on touchdowns are particularly nice. But the drop back 30 yards and chuck it stuff is still depressing to see:

Lots of gameplay videos are coming out...nice to get a feel for what to expect from E3 this year.

Re: E3 2011

I was disappointed with the videos I saw of games from E3 but I have to agree with you guys, I love the games I've played on the PS3 in the last year...guess I just expected to be blown away more with videos these last 2 days. I really do like what I've seen for Vita so far -- I just watched the IGN...

Re: E3 2011

With the 360 and PS3 going on 6 and 5 years respectively, that's not surprising. While some very nice new features have been added to those machines, they are using the same graphics hardware from a half decade ago. If my memory serves, the PS3 was launched just a little more than 4 years ago, in M...

Re: E3 2011

Having watched all the big press conferences (Microsoft, Sony, EA, Nintendo), the only thing that even remotely impressed me from a graphics standpoint was Battlefront, and most of that seems to have been frickin' pc footage.

What a lame E3.

Re: Icebreaker hockey?

No one knows if they lost their ass. They sold around 100k worldwide and while that's poor I wonder what they thought they could sell. Actually, according to vgchartz, they are now closing in on 210,000 units sold across the PS3 and 360, which I don't think is bad at all, considering that The Show ...

EA is streaming M12 gameplay right now here:

Looks just like M11, M10, etc. to me. Oh well, at least they incorporated a new broadcast tv angle for kicking field goals this year.

Re: NHL 12 first look video

The series has been getting stale for me and each game feels the same. Same here. I'm positive that some new camera angles would take the stale feeling away for me, and I was hoping to see some mention of those in the reveal. Unfortunately, I'm afraid the "improved presentation" just means we'll se...

IGN gives it an 8.5, but the review sounds great to me. Look forward to seeing the video review hopefully later today.
