Game Review structure

Each week, I shall review two games* for PS3 in a head-to-head match-up. These games will be scored upon:
Presentation, gameplay, playability (sports games), and story (non-sports games).

There will be ten points possible in each category, 30 overall as each will be in the same genre. The winning game will be put in the bracket for Game of the Month awards, where they will be reviewed again to determine the Game of the Month. Here is a sample:


Basketball

NBA Live 10(demo) vs NBA 2k11(Full game)


Gameplay

This one is pretty obvious. Unlike in Live 10, I feel
NBA Live 10 is good in the like I can do something
begging, but after that, you new every time.Passing
feel like you are making the has gotten slicker, and
same moves over and over I feel as if I can be a
again. Altogether, boring. NBA superstar.

Score: 5 Score: 9.75

Presentation

Though Live 10 has improved I like 2k11's graphics.
it is obvious they have a long They to jump out at
way to go. The news stories you and grab your
before games are intresting attention. The focus
but the game does not look on Jordan makes the
very real. game satisfying.

Score: 7 Score: 8.75

Playability

Live 10 feels smooth, the As much as Live 10
only real place that shines stands out in this
out. I could use with more category, I think that
emphasis on other issues, it could use some work.
however, but it is good as it NBA 2k11 is amazing
is. here and could not get better.

Score: 9.5 Score: 10


Final Thoughts

Live 10 is getting better, and some more years in production could make it a lot better. However, with the canceling of NBA Elite 11, EA Sports is in a deep hole. We shall see if they can dig themselves out. Meanwhile, like a star player at the peak of his career, NBA 2k11 shines and probably will come next year.

NBA Live 10 NBA 2k11

Final score: 21.5 out of 30 Final score: 28.5 out of 30

Winner: NBA 2k11
