  • Practicing the 'Music of the Race Track'

    This is the third in a series of developer chats with Diego Sartori, creative director of Simbin, about the art and craft of racing in a videogame. Simbin's RacePro, the studio's racing debut on the Xbox 360, will be released on February 17.

    Call it the music of the race track. It's the sound your car makes as you take lap after lap, going up and down through the gears. The whine of the engine as it powers up on long straights and revs downward when braking. The squeal and scrub of the tires in the corners. It's the melody of a lap in a race car and, if you can manage to drive consistently, it's a melody that doesn't vary much from lap to lap. Pay attention to that tune, learn that melody by heart, and it's one more tool you can use to make yourself quicker on the race track.

  • MLB 2K9: Send Your Questions

    Yesterday, 2K Sports sent us a preview build of MLB 2K9 and I've been playing it pretty much ever since. If you've got questions about the game, put them in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer them. I can't promise I'll get to each and every question but I'll do my very best. Also note that this is not final code and there still might be some changes down the road.

    That said: Whaddya wanna know?

  • Super Bowl Sim, Plus First Madden 2010 Details

    Quite the Super Bowl, huh? I honestly had given up on that game about midway through the third quarter, only to be pleasantly surprised with a Cardinals comeback and a great Steelers win. It wasn't the best Super Bowl of recent years but it was entertaining and turned into tightly contested game. My prediction from Friday wasn't that far off the mark, as it turned out.

    And speaking of predictions, while I normally avoid "Madden sim" stories like the plague, as you'll see below, this year's EA Sports-run Super Bowl simulation with Madden NFL 09 turned out to be pretty darn accurate.

    Check out the game stats and the first details on Madden NFL 10 after the jump...
