Backbreaker Multiplayer Hands-on and Videos (IGN)
10:13 PM - March 12, 2010. Posted by lofeazy.
IGN has posted their hands-on impressions of Backbreaker, going over the multiplayer details. They've also included a few videos.

Quote:
"I'm still not a huge fan of how Backbreaker handles running the ball outside and switching players on defense. Both are problems because of the camera angle that's used. When running the camera is still too close to be able to see defenders curling around the offensive line. On defense, the camera angle makes it jarring to switch from a blitzing linebacker to a safety in man-to-man coverage. There's no frame of reference for what the player you're switching to might be doing and it can be frustrating when the opposing team's offense breaks big plays because you can't effectively switch.

I found most of my success passing the ball because of my issue with the running. I did toss a few interceptions, but that was more due to the fact that I threw into double coverage too often. The defensive backs do a good job of picking off passes if the ball hits them in the hands, an issue that Madden players have always had."

UFC Undisputed 2010 Q&A #2
08:39 PM - March 12, 2010. Posted by Steve_OS.
The official UFC Undisputed 2010 community website has posted their second Q&A with the team. Lots of good info here.

Quote:
Kurowski God: "Are there different "rocked" stages, like you hit with a head kick, maybe he gets more rocked then a good right hook."

Team: "In this year's game, we shared that you can be rocked from any position and by almost every move. While these moves, and by extension the rocked states that they'll be causing, will look different depending upon what you do (head kick, uppercut), being rocked will not have varying degrees of 'rockiness' or grogginess. What's important is how the player who rocked the other executes his next few moves. If you have your combos down and have excellent timing, you'll be able to quickly level some devastating moves on your groggy opponent -- you might even knock him out. These 'follow up' combos are going to be tough to execute, as any other button inputs after the rocked animation will derail the combo. But the skilled player who uses caution and foresight when he knows his opponent is struggling will get an awesome payoff."

Original Tony Hawk Pro Skater Coming to iPhone?!
07:52 PM - March 12, 2010. Posted by Steve_OS. Written by Steve Noah
Gamesradar has the scoop.

Quote:
"The game looks to be Tony Hawk 2, but it's hard to argue that any of the early THPS games would be a perfect fit for Apple's platform. Below you can see a shot unobscured by the hands of a millionare and it looks like the the classic button configuration is good to go... although the lack of shoulder buttons would presumably make Reverts and other moves in the later THPSs difficult or impossible."

Rory McIlroy Talks Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 (ESPN Videogames)
06:10 PM - March 12, 2010. Posted by Steve_OS.
ESPN's Jon Robinson has posted an interview with Rory McIlroy, who is sharing the cover of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 with Tiger himself.

Quote:
Jon: "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11" also features the Ryder Cup course, Celtic Manor. Any advice on how to play the course in the game from what you've experienced in real life?"

Rory: "I've played it once before and it's quite a demanding golf course off the tee. You need to drive the ball pretty well, but there are a few holes you can take advantage of. There's a drivable Par-4 on the back 9, I think it's 15, so you have to try and make birdie or eagle there. Then there's a few lines off the tees where you can cut the corners to make them a little shorter. I'm sure once people play the course a few times, they'll know their way around pretty good."

"Some of you may already be familiar with Marcus Stephenson. He has been around for quite some time driving community initiatives or just being accessible within the community. After running a Madden fan site for years he took a position as a Community Manager at the EA Canada studio before moving between a few different projects, most notably as a Producer on NBA Live 10. He has now left the EA Sports studio and holds the position of Game Designer for WWE Smackdown vs Raw at THQ. I had the opportunity to ask Marcus a few questions about his time at EA and his new role at THQ."
