  • Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10: King of the Hill Champions, New Global Challenge, and Live Chat

    The Games Village has defended their crown for the 5th straight time to be officially called the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2010 King of the Hill Champions! They won the very first week of the Club challenge and then outlasted the Caddysharks, FTWG, K2 Spotted (twice), and now the BDGA League in King of the Hill matches.

    The Games Village defeated BDGA by an average score of -23.28 to -21, only a 2.2 stroke difference. Final results posted below. Congratulations to the Games Village for becoming the overall Club vs. Club Champions.

    Thank you to all the teams that have participated during the last 6 weeks! It's now time to try something new within the Community Appreciation Channel. I'm pleased to announce the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2010 Global Challenge! It will be a battle between North America and The World! There will be two teams matched up against each other for the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Global Cup Trophy.

    All Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Xbox 360 and PS3 players are eligible! Represent your country and bring home the Tiger Woods Global Trophy! A TW North America Team and TW World Team have been created on facebook. Join whichever team that you fit into. For example, if you are from the United States then you join the North America Team and if you are from Europe then you join the World Team. Please post your Gamertag/PS3 ID on the team page to be added to the team. I'm still looking for a few Team Captains to help recruit players and run the team pages, if you're interested then send a message to Ea Brandt on facebook or through the forums.

    Team Links:

  • NCAA Football 10 Community Playdate: Raczilla vs Dave Sleepy

    My second game tonight was against Dave Sleepy.  His name might not indicate it, but our game was anything but boring.  It took two overtime periods to determine a winner and probably could have gone even longer.  He used Pitt and I played with my home state Maryland Terps.

    I picked off a pass in the first quarter that set up my first scoring drive and Dave quickly replied with a touchdown drive of his own.  Fom that point it was back and forth all game.

    Dave wasn't satisfied with playing catch up and took the lead in the fourth, forcing me to kick a game tying field goal to go into over time.  In the overtime period Dave got the ball first and scored on his very first play.  I scored on my own second play in overtime to keep the score tied.

    I just barely converted a 4th down and managed a short touchdown pass to my tight end to go up 34-27.  It was up to Dave to tie it back up.  After a 3 incomplete passes he had one more chance to stay in the game.  The Maryland pass rush was just too much and a quarterback sack ended the game in my favor 34-27.  It was a great game by Dave.  Let's get a rematch soon.

    Check back tomorrow for more updates and gameplay videos from the event!
