    2K is back to defend its b-ball crown, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker gives Wii U owners a reason to get excited and one of the most unique looking games ever comes to PSN. Also, the 3DS keeps its library growing with Etrian Odyssey and Rune Factory.

  • NBA Live 14 Tries To Prove It Is Real With This New Video

    EA Sports has released a new “gameplay” video for NBA Live 14. I put gameplay in quotations because while it says it is using gameplay footage, it still looks like it is a made-up trailer for looks. I want to see actual in-game gameplay to see how this game runs. We are two months from release and I have yet to see one video that features anything that resembles actual gameplay and that worries me. I have this reserved and was really hoping EA could get NBA Live out as promised.

    We will see.

  • New Game Releases. Week Of September 30, 2012.

    Skeleton Bunnies, Zombies and LeBron. Oh My.

    Resident Evil 6 (360, PS3) $59.99

    Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games of all time then Resident Evil 5 came along and completely turned me off of the series. Now the sixth installment is here and I can tell you from playing the demo that a lot of things have been fixed. Three separating storylines taking place across the globe is quite ambitious for the franchise but it just may pay off.

    NBA 2K13 (360, PS3, PC, Wii, PSP) $29.99-59.99

    It has been a long wait for a basketball game for this fan. The 2K series has never been my cup of beer even with glittering reviews every year. Now EA has cancelled NBA Live…..again and I may be left without a b-ball game again this year. But this year’s 2K has changed the control scheme to give a more arcade feel with the use of the right dribble stick so here’s hoping I will finally get to play this year.

    Hell Yeah: Wrath of the Dead Rabbit (PC, PSN, XBLA) $14.99

    Reviews for this game have been all over the place from ” a wonderful side-scroller” to “stay the hell away”. Both sides seem to agree that is has a great look and art style so it is really a toss up if you want to give this game about a skeletal bunny’s revenge a try.

     

    Next week is a big one with the releases of Dishonored, the return of XCOM and the Kinect only Fable: The Journey.

  • NBA Live 13 Lives!!!

    Game Is Delayed, Not Dead

    For the three basketball fans on the planet that don’t enjoy the 2K series of games (that would be me and two guys from Ann Arbor, Michigan) it has been a long road of basketball-less video game days. EA has not released a new game since NBA Live 10 and hasn’t made a good one since….well it’s been a while.

    After the NBA franchise was handed over to Tiburon to get EA’s b-ball flagship back on the rails it went the complete opposite direction. The series was renamed to NBA Elite and famously cancelled only one week before it’s release date. EA then decided to take time away from the game and was going to come back strong this year with NBA Live 13. The game was shown off to a group of “meh’s” from people and when August hit and I had not seen anything new from the game I feared the worst.

    But now EA has released a new trailer today and assured everyone that NBA Live 13 is alive and well. And even though it will not go head to head with NBA 2K13 on October 2 it will be released soon.

    Take a look at the new trailer below and leave your hate comments also since I blasphemed the name of NBA 2K.

    I’m sorry I have tried to like it. It just does not click with me.
