Are you ready for some football? What's that? It's only July, you say?
Well, we gamers get the football season started a bit early. NCAA Football 11 is available, which
marks the unofficial start of the football season for anyone who loves the game
and owns a controller. There have been a few changes this year, but overall
it's definitely a better game than last year. Look for a full review soon, but
if you plan on renting or buying the game, you may want to check out one of the
first articles we've posted for the game at the Playbox.
Of course not everyone is a football fan, so we're just about ready to
post our review of Tiger Woods 11 for
the Nintendo Wii. However, just because I like you all so much, here's the
short version: better motion controls still make the Wii version THE version to
own, and a few other tweaks make the experience a bit more like the real thing,
but overall it's not all that different from last year. Like I said, the full
review will be up soon, so be sure to watch for it, sports fans.
For all you nonsports-fans, here are a few of the other projects we're
working on. We have our copy of Lego
Harry Potter Years 1-4 for the Xbox 360 and we'll have that review up soon.
It's pretty much what you'd expect. We'll also have some thoughts on Crackdown 2 posted soon. What's the
hold-up, you ask? Well, we're trying to think of something to say that we
didn't say when we reviewed the first game. If that doesn't give you an
indication of what to expect from it, I don't know what will.
And finally for anyone who's fallen a bit behind the times, we have
posts on the new DLC for Mass Effect 2,
a review from Michael M. on Trauma Team
and Just Cause 2, thoughts on both of
the recently released Transformers games, and a look at the recent Onslaught
pack for Bad Company 2.
July is a bit slow
for the gaming world, but with NCAA football to enjoy, it's not so bad. So
enjoy the start of the football season and check back with the Playbox often
for a spiritual point of view on all that's happening in the gaming industry.
