Super Slam Dunk Touchdown is a game looking to tap in to the greatness of 8-bit video games in 2015. It's a mash-up of rules and sports where simplicity and chaos lead to some endearing moments and frenetic action.
Check out the video to learn more about Super Slam Dunk Touchdown, a title which is hopefully coming to Steam and some home consoles at some point in 2015.

The skateboarding genre is not what it once was in the video game space, but the original OlliOlli was a reminder of what makes arcade games and skateboarding games such a great fit. Simple enough controls, style -- the colors maaaaaaan the colors -- and difficult, but fair, gameplay made it a game worth checking out on the Vita or PS3/4.
The new OlliOlli 2 trailer is a reminder of a lot of what made people appreciate the original game. The folks at Roll7 appear to be embracing that trance-like gameplay state once more while also providing plenty more content and new ways to experience grinding, flipping, tricking and all that junk.
Even if you maybe aren't in to this type of thing, it's probably still worth watching the trailer because it's a fact that dope music is dope.
OlliOlli2 is coming to PS Vita and and PS4 later this year.

We're just now beginning to understand what we can expect in MLB 15: The Show -- today we got the MLB 15 Fact Sheet -- so it seems the right time to start talking about the little touches we're hoping to see in MLB 15. Today's video is inspired by the Little Things thread on the forums, and it includes some of the small touches Chase Becotte would like to see touched up in Sony's next baseball title.

If I'm judging sports games based on this generation of consoles, then NBA 2K stands above the rest. But if I think back to the beginning of this generation, it's hard to imagine saying such a thing. It's easy to forget now, but Live and NBA 2K went their separate ways back in 2005 when the Xbox 360 launched.
NBA 2K was coming off a couple "misfires" as the PS2/Xbox era was winding down with NBA 2K5 and NBA 2K6, which really just means these titles were good rather than amazing, and Live had peaked with Live 04 and Live 05. That being said, both engines were under fire for being a bit outdated as we entered the "next-gen" era. So what ended up happening with the launch of the Xbox 360 in 2005 was that gamers got two basketball games that were on divergent paths. The 360 version of NBA 2K6 was a high-res version of the PS2/Xbox game in many respects, and NBA Live 06 was a stripped down game with a new engine and a lack of modes. Again, it's hard to remember, but at the time I do remember many people saying, "Live might not be as good as NBA 2K this year, but it has the much more promising future."
And then the NBA 2K7 demo happened, and trailers like this one happened, and then it was over. NBA Live 07 was actually worse than Live 06 while NBA 2K7 served as the beginning of a gaming dynasty. Yes, the engine still got criticized a bit for feeling outdated, but a mix of signature style, graphical presentation and a renewed focus on refining and updating the game engine really began again with NBA 2K7.

Steve Bartlett is checking in today with the first of two NBA 2K12 previews we will be running on the site this week. Steve's preview is more focused on the NBA 2K12 Greatest mode, some presentation touches and a couple random insights.
(Later in the week, I will be writing a more in-depth preview focusing more on gameplay and the current NBA -- I had a bit more time with the game than Steve.)

All right so it might not be Charles Barkley, Iverson or Reggie Miller, but it's still yet another player being added to the NBA 2K12 NBA's Greatest mode.
Ronnie 2K, one of the marketing maestros over at 2K Sports, told everybody via Twitter that LaPhonso Ellis is now going to be a part of the '93-'94 Nuggets squad that infamously took out the Seattle SuperSonics in the one versus eight matchup in the first round of the NBA playoffs back in 1994. (Who doesn't remember Dikembe sprawled out on the court at the end of that series?)
It's rather unique to see players still being added to a game at this stage, but it might just be the nature of the beast when it comes to negotiating with individual athletes.
