After a one-year absence, Tiger Woods has returned as the cover athlete for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13. Woods shares the cover of the upcoming title with Rickie Fowler (North American version) and Rory McIlroy (European version).

“The dream of winning a Green Jacket has inspired golfers for many years, so we are very proud to provide our fans the only game that allows you to compete in the Masters and attempt to win golf’s ultimate prize,” EA SPORTS Marketing Director Craig Evans said. “In addition, Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy are two of the most exciting young golfers in the game today and we’re thrilled to put them alongside Tiger Woods on the cover ofTiger Woods PGA TOUR 13.”

EA Sports actually allowed fans to vote on who would join Tiger on the cover of the game similar to what they did with Madden NFL 12 and NCAA Football 12. Are you cool with Tiger sharing the cover of a game that bears his name?

WWE ‘12 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, 3DS)
Developer: Yukes
Publisher: THQ
Release: November 22, 2011
Price: $59.99 (Xbox 360, PS3) $49.99 (Wii)
Rating 7 out of 10

Since WWE and THQ announced that they were deading the Smackdown vs. Raw franchise and recreating it as WWE’ 12, the companies have been hyping the title more than ever. Considering that the RVS series has been hit or miss, we had high hopes that the name change would bring much needed stability.

Read on to see if WWE ’12 is raw or deserves to be smacked down.

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3″ Review

November 21st, 2011

COD: MW3

Activision/Infinity Ward

PS3/Xbox 360/Wii

3.0 out of 5.0

Black Ops was my first long-term exposure to the COD franchise. I quickly got up to speed that the lackluster single-player campaign mode was offset by the amazing online multiplayer modes. Learning that the next COD, Modern Warfare 3, would not be made by the same developer, Treyarch, had me a little skeptical as my favorite feature, zombies would not be in this year’s game. But Infinity Ward has an excellent reputation, handling Activision’s cash cow game.

“NBA 2K12″ Brian Wilson vs. Blazers Fan Celebrity Debate

November 14th, 2011

San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson and his Bigen beard are back to defend the 1986 Celtics as the best team ever. This time he’s arguing with a Trailblazer fan repping Clyde the Glide’s 1991 squad. Though the fan doesn’t have a leg to stand on, his stance is entertaining nonetheless. Shoutout to 2K Sports for keeping the NBA in the mix, since Stern, the owners and players don’t seem to care.

nba-xenon-0876

2K Sports announced the “Legends Showcase” DLC a couple weeks ago (21 and H-O-R-S-E, 2-on-2 Teammate Challenge and 3-on-3 Era Challenge). Today they unveiled the names of 45 new legends (in addition to the 115 already in the retail version of the game) that will be available when the DLC is launched.

There are a lot of great (Bernard King, Rick Barry) and not-so-great (Gheorge Muresan) players on the list. Our only question is when  are we going to be able to play with Charles Barkley? Make that happen 2K.

So if you’ve ever wondered what the outcome of a Yao Ming and Shawn Bradley post battle would be then this is your lucky day.

The speculation can cease,  GTA V is set in Los Angeles, CA. Judging from the first trailer from the highly anticipated game, the open world will cover a lot of SoCal.  At first glance we see replicas of Hollywood, The Valley, South Central and Downtown. The storyline is a familiar one–a gangster trying to get out of the game.

Check the trailer out below:
