Has dunking the ball in a video game lost its luster? We’ve all probably done it millions of times by now. Just another move. But when I dunk the ball as Michael Jordan in “NBA 2K11″, tongue out as he throws down a tomahawk jam over Patrick Ewing, knocking the Knicks star to the ground as I watch MJ swing on the rim, I can& [...]

Video Games — Breaking down ...
In its first year, can “NBA Elite” really contend with the juggernaut that is “NBA 2K11″? If EA Sports hopes to make a dent, they need multiple gameplay modes to really breakthrough and become hits, both online and offline.
Luckily for EA, the producer of “Elite” think they have those hits (and the gamepla [...]
Gerald McCoy dominates ‘Madden&...
Anyone who has played “Madden NFL 11″ as the Bucs knows how much of a beast rookie Gerald McCoy is on defense. When he’s not stuffing the run, he’s sacking the quarterback or causing some sort of chaos in the backfield.

Head to any video game store and you’ll see the Wii wall, or as I like to call it, the wall of shame. I’m not talking about Nintendo’s system here, but the countless peripherals that clutter valuable shelf space. From Nerf guns to fishing rods to boxing gloves, if you can jam the Wii-remote into anything related to your pro [...]

When Michael Jordan was first announced as the “NBA 2K11″ cover athlete, gamers celebrated the return of the greatest player to ever lace up a pair of kicks. Sneaker heads, on the other hand, only wanted to know what pairs of kicks virtual MJ would actually be wearing.
That’s because in past “NBA 2K” games, Nik [...]

Think of Paul Wight, AKA WWE’s Big Show, as wrestling’s version of John Madden.
Fans might not realize, but when WWE is on tour, any show within 300 miles of the last appearance and it’s up to the performers to drive themselves. What that usually means is four wrestlers squeezing into a rental, eating a late-night snack at [...]

What if the Portland Trail Blazers drafted Michael Jordan instead of Sam Bowie? It’s the question that has kept Blazer fans up at night for decades, but “NBA 2K11″ is finally going to let you see what life is like with His Airness in the City of Roses.

Heading to Vegas any time soon? Take notes, as EA Sports has been on a roll of late with sports simulations. Before the Stanley Cup playoffs, “NHL 10″ predicted a Blackhawks victory. Before the World Cup, “2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa” simulated a win for Spain. So how does “Madden NFL 11″ see the upco [...]

Ben Bishop has to be one of the busiest men in all of sports gaming. Jumping from his work on “MLB 2K10″ into his main gig on the “NHL 2K” series, Bishop is also working heavily on “NBA 2K11 ” for the Wii.
Talk about dedication to his craft.
I recently had the chance to sit down with Bishop after an extrem [...]

John Madden once told me that people now recognize him more for his video game than anything he ever did in coaching.
Funny thing is, the whole “Madden” phenomenon of sports gaming almost never took place.
In fact, John Madden passed on EA’s initial concept of the game.
So how did the franchise turn into a $3 billion dollar [...]
