EA’s NCAA Football cover stars operated on a different principle for a while compared to the spotlight athletes in other sports games. NCAA rules forbade college athletes from appearing on the cover, so you nearly always saw an NFL rookie sporting their jersey from a few years previously – usually with at least one trophy or high recognition under their belt as well. EA wasn’t afraid to get a bit silly with the NCAA franchise either. At one point, the publisher honored the community’s voice and made a mascot the star of an NCAA game.
The franchise came to a messy end in 2014, as licensing issues and debates over the appropriate use of player likenesses brought EA’s college football days to a halt. It may be coming back soon, but for now, here’s a walk through 20 years of NCAA Football cover stars.
Let’s look at every MLB: The Show cover athlete from the past two and a half decades.
For more than two decades, MLB The Show has been a strong contender for the “best sports game” crown. No doubt because Sony has heavily invested in its success for all these years.
We’ve decided to look back on the entire series and see which athletes graced the cover. By that, we mean every installment – from the original nine MLB series developed by 989 Sports, to when Sony’s San Diego Studio took over in 2006 with the “The Show” subtitle.
As a heads-up, we’re listing editions released in the United States – so no image variants from other regions. However, we’ll mention those athletes in the notes! There’s a lot of history to cover here, so let’s jump into it!
Here’s every cover star of every WWE video game since the turn of the millennium.
The WWE video games have gone through a few distinct eras since the turn of the millennium. At first, they were producing standalone games like the WrestleMania and Smackdown! games, but eventually those all got consolidated into a single annual release known as the Smackdown vs Raw series which ran until 2011. Then series developers, THQ, closed its doors and the licence was handed to 2K Games, who have been slowly growing the scope of the games year on year, with varying degrees of success.
Being a star in wrestling is often less about how good you are in the ring, and more about how marketable you are as a personality, so the covers of WWE video games are a great way to see who was enjoying the biggest success in the company for that year. It’s an indication of the person/people that WWE trusts to sell such a huge product with their faces alone.
We’ve rolled back the clock to 2000 to see every WWE cover star over the past twenty years.
The best VR games of 2023 don’t just coast along with immersion and motion controls as their big selling points, though some of them do innovative things in those areas. The medium is finally moving on from using VR as a video game gimmick, and 2023’s top picks use it to create unique experiences – in Resident Evil Village, for example – or even to augment storytelling in some respects, as Vampire Justice does. The competition was fierce this year, but we’ve narrowed it down to our 10 favorite VR games of 2023 and rattled them off below.
Top two teams in each region for fall 2023 “Hearthstone”
The 2023 Fall Season has come to an end for high school esports teams, with the championship matchups wrapping up competition on the PlayVS platform.
State titles for the growing sport have been officially recognized by the NFHS Network and state associations, creating even more awareness for the teams across North America.
With that in mind, here is the “Hearthstone” champion and runner-up in each region.
