A few quick questions before the weekend.

Why no NBA LIVE 07 (for 360) review?
Why is it taking so long for IGN to provide a review on NBA Live 07? Unlike other web sites your reviews more fit my tastes, so I often wait until I see what you guys score a title before I go purchase. We have the NBA2K7 review, why not Live? Is it that bad that you sold out to EA and promised not to give a bad review until some suckers purchased the game? Please advise and thank you. - Vernon

Are you protecting EA sports? Why can't you guys get the review out? - Daniel

How is it this game has been out for 4 days now, and you guys have yet to out a review? I can picture how this scenario goes down...

EA Exec: Here's 10 grand.. dont out a review letting the people know how horrible our game is.. wait a week. let all the unsuspecting people pick this game up, and then put out the review..

IGN: Anything for you.. ALMIGHTY EA - Rodney

The review is coming. EA did not, despite repeated requests on our part, send us the game until after they shipped it to stores. That means we didn't get it into the office until it was already on store shelves. This is usually done when a company knows a game doesn't match up to the competition. Word was from people who played preview builds that the game didn't hold a candle to NBA 2K7.

Jon Miller, the guy who does our sports reviews on the 360 channel, is in Barcelona right now for X06 along with Doug. You don't want me reviewing the game, trust me. I'm not exactly a basketball game fanatic. The Playstation guys have offered to help out with this review and it is currently being worked on.

In short, the review will be up on Monday. It already would have been out if EA had sent the game over in advance before the X06 craziness began. Oh, and it wouldn't be in anybody's best interest to accept or offer money to withhold reviews, especially ours.

What happen to Team Ninja!!!
Is Team Ninja going to be working for Sony now. Ever since I saw the trailer for the new Ninja Gaiden game it gave me the creeps that Team Ninja is going to be working for Sony. But I am not sure that they are. Please answer my letter!

Team Ninja and Tecmo are independent and don't "work" for Sony or Microsoft. That said, Team Ninja still has big plans for making Xbox 360 games. Ninja Gaiden Sigma for PS3 will be cool, no doubt, but it isn't a sign that Team Ninja won't be making any more games for Xbox 360.

Guitar hero 360
Any news on a release date for this bad boy?

I'm sure it isn't coming out day and date with it's PS2 sidekick, but I wasn't for sure if a solid date had been announced.

Also any chance of exclusive songs, wireless guitar, or maybe the chance to download songs from the original from marketplace for a set fee?

Thanks!
-Noble

No word yet on a release date. The guitar is going to "initially" be wired is what we were told. And you can be sure you'll see downloadable songs on the marketplace, but we don't know whether they'll only be new ones or include those from the original.
