New EA Sports MMA trailer starts a fight
(via Xbox 360 Fanboy) - "Now it's a fight," this new trailer for EA Sports MMA proudly proclaims. And it's true -- EA Sports has a huge fight ahead of it.

(via Xbox 360 Fanboy) - Based on all the movies and old shows we've seen, we feel like we know exactly how it was in the old west: people sat around all day, drank whiskey from unmarked bottles, hit up the brothel when they had some spare cash and did their best not to get in Clint Eastwood's way.

Impressions: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
(via Xbox 360 Fanboy) - Giant spiders. Why'd it have to be giant spiders? Mind you, seeing Lara Croft gun down squealing, eight-legged monstrosities doesn't bring with it the tinge of regret that I've come to associate with her tendency to permanently cross off creatures from the endangered species list.
