Sea Lion Vehicle Makes All Your James Bond Fantasies Come True
Imagine tearing down the highway at 180 mph, then careening off a pier, having your ride transform into a watercraft and burning through the wet stuff at 60 mph.

Hybrid Ferrari Is Revving Out Of Concept Stage And Into Our Car Dreams
Leave it to Ferrari to make the hybrid car phenomenon seem more panties-dropper than tree-hugger. The Enzo, which is totally into pulling a three-way with gas and electric power, always seemed like one of those concept cars that was more of an oddball pet project of some self-indulgent engineer than something that would ever pull up next to us on the road.

Calvin Johnson is ‘Madden NFL 13′ Cover Boy — Pray For Him
Calvin Johnson did the impossible last season, racking up 1,681 yards, 16 touchdowns and the first playoff appearance for the Detroit Lions since leather helmets went out of style.

EA Tells Gus To Get Off The ‘Madden’ Bus, ’13′s Announcers Will Be Wonder-Phil
We like to knock EA Sports for releasing the same games year after year, so it’s only fair to give up some props when the developer recognizes a major problem and makes a wholesale change.

‘Jetpack Joyride’ Gives You Reason to Go For Another Ride
We’re hard-pressed to come up with a mobile game that’s as flat-out fun as Jetpack Joyride. Developer Halfbrick, not content with its ludicrously high — and well-desrved — 90 Metacritic rating, is releasing a free update that makes the game even deeper.

‘MLB 12: The Show’ Game Review
Like a grizzled veteran who rocks a shelf full of MVP trophies and is unthreatened by any up-and-comers on the farm system, ‘MLB 12: The Show‘ no longer has the eye of the tiger. Instead, it just coasts, does the awesome things you expect it to do and calls it a day.

WWE ’12′ — Game Review
