Summer Athletics 2009

24/07/2009

Ten minutes in, we had to eject the disc to confirm this was Summer Athletics 2009 and not last year’s inaugural iteration. Same controls, lack of online play, charmless monkey gyrating around on the loading screen, and – barring two skeet shooting events – the same disciplines.

Ashes Cricket 2009

NBA 2K10

9/10/2009

This is the serious baller’s basketball game. It doesn’t look as nice as EA’s offering, but it has it where it counts.
