i loved the movie. the message was sort of anti religion. basically the world is controlled completely by chance. w/o any sort of caring about basic fellow man, the world degenerates into a selfish, hellish place. yes, the movie was slow, but for a reason....the tension is so thick in parts b/c of t...

despite incredible sales for the wii, the console is not a sports gaming or hardcore type console. I don't ever see sports being a big seller on the wii (unless its a mario sport). I think APF will be very fun but i don't think that is will be as good as say nba2k7 in year one. This seems to be a te...

how is online for NHL07. I only play online with a friend of mine and I am intriqued by all the positive comments for EAs hockey game. But EA has the worst servers in the world usually and their games are a lagged filled mess. Only EAs football games have been smooth online for me. Does this game pl...

its EA....what do you expect. The whole company's premise is marketing first, minimize development costs, port to as many consoles as possible, sequalize and movie tie everything, and program for the lowest common denominator.

Dont ever buy EA games.

The gameplay was fantastic, but I have 2 criticisms.

1) where are the indicators below the players showing what the strengths are (3 pointer, steals, blocks, dunks, etc)

2) Toyota replay stuff could not be skipped.

T One thing that is bothersome with the 360 EA Sports titles is that the controls feel sluggish. I don't know if that's because of the controller or the game. Madden had a horrible feel. I felt disconnected with the controls. NCAA has a similar feel. that's probably b/c of the poor frame rates and ...

Played the demo. EA continues to be the scourage. While the game is pretty fun and doesn't seem obviously broken w/ bombs and scrambling, the graphix and the frame rate are piss poor. I can't almost bear to play sports games at 30 fps (if its that). Clearly not as fluid as any 2k sports games. The s...

What I expect or would like to see are animations more in live w/ the Winning eleven series. Natural fluid movements. Or like that IGN video b...

sounds good in theory. But EA's stagnation and focus on flash instead of substance has always been a recipe to win the non hardcore market and make mega sales. I don't see this changing. Basically all media (movies and games) are all watered down to appeal to the masses. Marketing first, shallow but...

The worldwide launch turned out to be a bad idea. If you have devoted customers still searching for consoles at this point while Japan can't sell them, then it is a tactical error.

As they say, don't blame the player, blame the game. If the hoops game is broken to the point that you can't stop any dunks, then it's broken. It would be like a football game where if you run a sweep you never get stopped and score every time, breaking all tackle attempts (wasn't that one called N...

every time i play online, my opponent will constantly go to the hoop w/ a good dunker and more or less shoot about 75%. I have tried 2-3 zone and doubling at times and while it helps some, it is still damn near impossible to stop these cheesers. The game is so good otherwise, this is really hurting ...
