I believe that while 2009 was nowhere near as bad as feared, it was simply because of government stimulus propping the economy up. In the ... Read More

Let's take a look:
- Either MLB '09: The Show, NBA 2K10 or NHL 10 will be huge disappointments this next year. The solid trio we could count on will be no more after this year.
Depending on who you ask, there were some serious detractors to NBA 2K10. While the game, in

2K Sports is dying, and not in a grandiose we'll fight you to the last man 300 style death, but in a curled up in a dark, cold corner all alone kind of death. With the recent spread of rumors (or reports depending on your standard for that sort of thing) that Take Two is at least considering dumping NHL 2K from it's lineup, you ... Read More

All of the talk about Major League Baseball 2K's future this year has been two parts disappointment, one part anger, and one part something else. This is all adding up to something big: this is a make or break year for Major League Baseball 2K.
Major League Baseball 2K10 will be fighting several ... Read More

I also got word from my own contact within THQ which said the linked news above describes what he has heard internally. Given the dubious nature of anonymous sources on the internet for readers, ... Read More

Speculation is rampant about EA Sports' new title to be announced in January. Some are speculating the game is another arcade game while others think it's a FIFA World Cup game. However, the most intriguing of the rumors is an EA/WWE gaming partnership. But does it make sense?
First, we know THQ's license with the WWE expires in 2010 and there has been no real public talk of renewal between either party. It's not like THQ

As with most every other sector in the economy, consumer spending is a lot tighter than most predicted. Video game sales were down a total of 8% (including software and hardware) while software sales dipped 3%.
The software sales were given a big boost by Modern Warfare 2's launch. The data without Modern Warfare 2, while not available, probably can't look too good. Video game stocks were largely down today, ... Read More

Even more interesting is the Take Two stock chart. You can clearly see where the EA buyout rumors hit in 2008 and now you can see the stock is worth just 25% of what it was before the market tanked last year.
Basically, ... Read More
Apparently a game which had been received tepidly by the market and a game which was approaching the offseason of it's sport was the cause of a bad quarter. I'm wondering aloud if maybe MLB 2K9 is acting as a scapegoat for what pretty much amounts to just a bad quarter overall by Take Two?
Let's just look at the available evidence. First, we know MLB 2K9 wasn't exactly ... Read More

The results (before we get a bunch of people trying to prove this blog wrong by loading up on one option or another) are amazingly even. I honestly cannot remember a poll with such even results.
It certainly looks that while a lot of OSers think Backbreaker might be a 2010 Game of the Year type of game right now, many more expect the game to completely bomb. If nothing else, Backbreaker will be one of the most talked about games out there for awhile. ... Read More
That seems to be EA's mantra with the Tiger Wood's series since they have decided to stand by Tiger. I'm not surprised, shocked, or even remotely puzzled by this move because it was simply the right move to make.
Tiger Woods is still the greatest golfer on the planet: past, present, and at least near future. You want your Golf themed video game branded around something like that.
And while I don't typically ... Read More
