DigitalLife is a trade show that is put on by Ziff Davis Media at the New York Jacob Javitz Center, which typically included technology and video games, but seems to be cancelled for this year because of a bad economy. Vice President Paul O’Reilly said the following during an interview:
The poor economic conditions have created a very different and difficult dynamic for us this year, and we weren’t confident that we could present a show experience that was consistent with the successes of prior years.
I can say that as a previous attendee last year this show was dying, he goes on to say:
Hopefully, a bigger and stronger DigitalLife will return in 2009. We will make additional announcements about the future of the show when details are available.
I would love for his last statement to be true since this show is very accessible to everyone on the East coast and it would be great to have something that could rival E3 or CES on the East coast as well, but it seems like a big stretch especially after the news of this years cancellation.
EA and Maxis put up a sneak peak of their new Sims 3 game scheduled to release in 2009. For anyone who has ever played or heard of a Sims game this is nothing earth shattering, but it does look pretty crisp and the familiar ‘Simlish’ is back. This one looks to be a bit more open world and focuses not only on the player and their home, but the entire town. More Sims action to come to your PC next year.

There will be a bonus feature in the Special Edition for Madden 2009. Its something you have always wanted. Head Coach is included. Sweet. I can call plays and see what happens. I might not buy the Special Edition just so I don’t have Head Coach in my house. Either way, watch the documentary.
In MMA you need to have a diverse array of attacks. Each match can end in a flash and the more ways that you can make your opponent tap, pass out, or fail to protect himself beneficial. This video gives you first hand look at the Man Brawl cam. Two grown men rolling around on the canvas never looked so good. Umm…
Its hard to believe that its almost football season, but both college and pros are reporting to camps and starting up again as we speak. NCAA 2009 promises to improve itself on many aspects and distinguish itself as its own franchise instead of the game you play until Madden comes out. The demo is live right now. Check it out.
Its almost summer and that means its time for the latest NCAA Football installment. Here is the opening cinematic of the 2009 version. These are always a good warm-up before Madden comes out, but this franchise needs to either improve itself fast or it will forever be just Madden’s little brother.
It’s not too early to think about football and we get a glimpse at the latest release in the NCAA Football library. The games have been good as of late, but it seems as if they have peaked. Graphics are good, gameplay is solid, but it just seems like a roster update and maybe a new mode here or there.
