The tag team above is set to release a mythical football game on the [...]

Two years before I moved to Boston in 1999, a quaint little studio called Irrational Games was formed by three former members of Looking Glass. Irrational plugged away winning awards while their NFL counterpart, the New England Patriots, racked up Lombardi trophies. All was well in Bean Town until a  2K Games acquisition rebranded the prospering studio “2K [...]

Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers’ Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Super Bowl XL MVP Hines Ward, and several of the teams running backs and offensive line members participated in a Guitar Hero 5 “Pro vs. GI Joe” competition with a group of soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 336th Military Police Company stationed in Iraq.
