Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced today that Real Madrid midfielder Kaka has been chosen for the cover of EA SPORTSTMFIFA Soccer 11. The 28-year-old Brazilian soccer hero will be the center-piece of global advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns for the most popular* sports videogame in the world. Kaka is part of an iconic group of 17 stars who will adorn FIFA Soccer 11 worldwide. Kaka will be accompanied by stars from other teams in other countries in territory specific packaging when FIFA Soccer 11 is available in stores September 28 in North America and October 1 in Europe and Asia.
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, or better known as Kaka, is one of the finest soccer players of this generation, having won the Golden Ball and FIFA World Player of the Year awards in 2007. During the 2009-2010 season, Kaka scored 8 goals in 22 appearances for Real Madrid.
“I’ve always been a fan of EA SPORTS and especially the FIFA series,” said Kaka. “Being on the FIFA Soccer 11cover is a great honor for me since very few players have this opportunity, and there have been some great players featured on the cover of this truly amazing videogame.”
Kaka started his professional career at the age 15 for Sao Paulo FC. In 2003 he joined A.C. Milan before signing with Real Madrid in 2009. With 133 career goals in 372 appearances and a member of the Brazilian 2002 FIFA World CupTM winning squad, Kaka has secured his place as one of the best and most skillful midfielders to ever play the game.

With Kaka’s visionary style of soccer he’s always one step ahead of the opposition, moving into space with an often subtle change of pace and delivering crisp, creative one-touch passes and catching the goalkeepers off guard with strikes often from distance on either foot. His play is unlike any other player in our game and you will feel individual differences like this in each player, in every match.”
Building on FIFA Soccer 10 gameplay that won 50 sports game of the year awards,FIFA Soccer 11 reinvents playerauthenticity – on and off the ball – for every position on the pitch with Personality+, and introduces new Pro Passing where pass accuracy is determined by a gamer’s ability on the control pad, and player skill, situation and urgency on the pitch. Plus, experience true freedom in man-to-man interactions with 360° Fight for Possession that transforms physical play from just lateral jostling to full 360° collisions.

Ok, you may be asking yourself, “Why review a game that came out four years ago on a last-gen system?” Well, there are two reasons. First of all, like the summer movie season, the summer game season has been pretty lackluster. Second, and more importantly, Metal Gear Solid 3:Subsistence (“MGS3:S”) is the first chapter in one of the most compelling video game series ever made. If you are looking for a game that combines superior gameplay with a story and experience that surpasses most movies, then itʼs time to dust off your PS2. MGS3:S is the third game in the MGS series, but itʼs actually the first chapter in the Metal Gear timeline. MGS3:S is essentially the “ultimate edition” of 2004ʻs Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
The game, set during the Cold War in the 1960s, opens with the protagonist, Snake, parachuting into the wilderness of the Soviet Union. Snake, a U.S. soldier, is tasked with rescuing a scientist from the Soviets before he can finish a nuclear weapon that could turn the tide in the Sovietsʼ favor. Iʼm purposefully being vague in the details because the less said, the better. You really need to experience the story for yourself. If youʼre dying for spoilers, check out some of the plot summaries available at www.gamefaqs.com. If you want background info, read a book on the Cuban Missile Crisis, which forms the political backdrop of the game.
After the opening briefing and cutscene, gameplay begins and you are introduced to the the basics of survival in the jungle. Survival is the theme of the game. Snake must hunt for food in order to maintain his stamina. There is a variety of flora and fauna that can be captured and consumed, from mushrooms to pythons. Snake must also keep an eye out for enemy soldiers. As in all Metal Gear games, Snake is encouraged to use stealth to eliminate and/or sneak past enemies. If Snake is spotted, enemy soldiers willattack and radio for backup and Snake will either have to take out the enemies or take cover until the alert passes. Fortunately, Snake has a variety of camouflage patterns handy and acquires more as he progresses into enemy territory. Some will help him avoid detection by mimicking various environments and some are just goofy (i.e.,American Flag face paint, Stinky Fly camo).
Snakeʼs not helpless, though. Though Snake starts with little more than a tranquilizer gun and a combat knife, he will acquire a number of weapons and gadgets as he progresses (also a staple of the Metal Gear series). After a relatively brief introductory sequence to get you acclimated to the gameplay, Snake becomes injured and you are introduced to the second aspect of the survival mechanic – first aid. Snake will frequently have to treat injuries like gunshot wounds and cuts and treat illnesses like poisoning.
The gameplay is very good, with a few minor issues. As I said before, stealth is a staple of the Metal Gear series. MGS3:S is no exception. You are not limited to stealth, however. You can simply run and gun, although this becomes much more difficult to do on the higher difficulty levels. If the stealth/sneaking aspect turns you off, then you probably arenʼt going to fully enjoy the Metal Gear games anyway. MGS3:S, more so than other Metal Gear games, tends to get a bit clunky when you try to run and gun. Itʼs difficult to see precisely where youʼre aiming, despite the manual camera that was sorely missed in “Snake Eater.” Itʼs simple enough to enter the first-person mode and fire away, but itʼs not particularly helpful when youʼre fighting waves of enemies. It works well enough on the easy modes, but on the higher difficulty levels, you wonʼt survive very long trying to simply mow down your opposition. Even if you have a quick trigger finger, running and gunning tends to make the gameplay feel all-too-brief given the lengthy cutscenes. Rush through the game, and you will feel as if you are watching a movie that you periodically interact with. Sneaking and stalking your enemies is essential for getting maximum enjoyment from the game. Obviously, the longer you play the game, the more Snake needs to eat and the more you have to utilize the hunting and first aid mechanics, both of which are implemented very well. Just donʼt keep dead food for too long; otherwise, it will spoil and Snake will get food poisoning. Stealth isnʼt perfect, however. It can be hard to see exactly where your enemies are. In the 1960s, they didnʼt have all the fancy technology that shows the location of your enemies and what direction they are facing, like in the other Metal Gear games. It definitely presents more of a challenge, which can be a good thing. I found the personnel sensor, which causes the controller to vibrate the closer you get to enemies, to be the most efficient means of locating enemies. If you pay attention to your environment, pan the camera around a little bit and donʼt rush through each stage, youʼll do fine.
While I wonʼt spoil the story for you, itʼs better than most anything youʼve seen at the movies lately. I will admit that it can be rather melodramatic and downright cheesy at times, but thatʼs the Metal Gear Solid series. It takes quite a while for the story to unfold and you really wonʼt understand everything until the final scene. It helps that the voice acting and music are both excellent, as they lend a bit of Hollywood credibility to the game. The theme song is reminiscent of the Connery-era Bond movies and just as cheesy (think “Goldfinger”), but thatʼs deliberate; MGS3:S owes much to the Connery Bond films with the espionage and political intrigue.
The graphics are as good as a last-gen game can be. They wonʼt blow you away because we have become conditioned to the high definition era of gaming, but they have held up well in the years since the gameʼs release.
If the stealth aspect appeals to you, then you need to go to your local Game Stop (or online at any number of used game retailers) and purchase Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. Given its age, I would be surprised if it costs more than $20. Even if the over-emphasis on stealth turns you off a little bit, the story, colorful characters and epic boss battles will suck you in. MGS3:S, like all other Metal Gear games, has several unique and memorable boss battles. Throw in the fact that the next two chapters in the Metal Gear saga (Metal Gear, which originally appeared on the Nintendo and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, never before available in the U.S.) are added as bonus features on the second disc, and youʼve got a great way to kill 20-plus hours in the air conditioning during the dog days of summer. — Pedro Moreno

2K Sports today revealed the official cover art for NBA® 2K11 featuring Michael Jordan as the face of this year’s iteration of the top rated and top selling basketball simulation franchise*. The art style, featuring a highly-stylized, three-panel, iconic image of Jordan, represents a departure from previous NBA 2K titles to reflect the significance of having the greatest player of all time grace the cover.
“We knew as soon as we signed Jordan that we needed to do something special for the cover,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “This could possibly be the most highly anticipated cover art in the history of sports games and we think the image we came up with delivers on every front. I think fans will be pleasantly surprised at how Jordan is actually used in game, as NBA 2K11 will pay homage to ‘His Airness’ in many ways, but the cover art represented our first chance to stop and honor him along the way.”
“It’s exciting to see it all come together,” said Michael Jordan, a recent Hall of Fame inductee. “I am looking forward to seeing the final product, but my kids might have to give me some lessons.”

The Science Fiction Museum at Seattle’s Experience Music Project has announced a very special exhibit coming this October:
Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum (EMP|SFM) is proud to announce its latest exhibition, Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition. Organized by EMP|SFM and in partnership with Universal Cable Productions and Syfy, Battlestar Galactica features three stunning, full-size prop spaceships, iconic costumes, new exhibition films, music and other props from the original and reimagined series. Battlestar Galactica opens to the public Oct. 23, 2010 and runs through March 4, 2012 at EMP|SFM in Seattle.
“The museum is honored to be organizing the first exhibition devoted to both series,” said Brooks Peck, Curator of Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition. “Battlestar Galactica is one of those rare science fiction shows that appeals to a wide range of people because it combines high adventure with very personal drama. It explores what it means to be human, and has a lot of fun doing so.”
Opening weekend (Oct. 22-24, 2010) will include museum member and public events with some of Battlestar Galactica’s most popular personalities.
“Over its four season run on Syfy, Battlestar Galactica became an iconic series that not only entertained, but fulfilled the promise of all great science fiction. It provoked us into examining our world and ourselves through its politically-charged, socially-relevant, religious and technological themes,” said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President, Original Programming, Syfy, and Co-head, Original Content, Universal Cable Productions. “It is an honor for us to partner with EMP|SFM in this one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience BSG in an up-close and personal way.”
The exhibition will be presented in the Milestones Gallery on EMP’s third level. Battlestar Galactica will become a traveling exhibition in 2012 after its premiere at EMP|SFM.
About Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition:
Battlestar Galactica is an epic drama of interstellar proportions. The last vestiges of humanity flee a cybernetic Cylon horde, traversing the stars in search of the fabled promised land of Earth. The setting of Battlestar Galactica may be rife with spaceships and inhuman adversaries, but ultimately the show is a complex narrative about how we attempt to retain our humanity under desperate circumstances. The series acts as a science-fictional lens through which to examine difficult questions that we may encounter in our own lives.
Exhibition sections:
Creation of Battlestar Galactica Explores the genesis of the two versions of the show (1978 and 2003) and introduces the story and central conflicts.
The Search Focuses on one of the central elements of the shows, the human quest to find the lost colony of Earth. The Search is also a spiritual one, as the humans seek meaning in a dangerous galaxy and grapple with issues of religion, fate and freedom.
The Ships Three life-size spacecraft from the later series—two human and one Cylon— are the exhibition show stoppers. Concept art, storyboards, props and films complement the ships.
Humans and Cylons This section presents the major characters from the shows including: Commander Adama, Starbuck, Boomer, Number Six and the Imperious Leader. Costumes are featured, along with props and concept art.
