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.

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.

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.
