The first trailer for NHL 13 came out earlier today from the EA Sports YouTube channel.  Although it doesn’t show too much and can only really be considered a teaser, it does hint at what they are referring to as a “gameplay revolution.”  There is an official announcement about what this new feature will include coming this Friday.

While we wait, check out the NHL 13 teaser trailer below and leave your thoughts in the comments section.

NCAA Football 13 Raw Gameplay

Many of you dedicated VG Strategy readers know that I have a strong dislike for USC football but when news comes out about NCAA Football 13, even my dislike for the Trojans won’t stop me from spreading the news.  Earlier today, EA Sports released a video on their Youtube page showing off a smart portion of a game between Oregon and USC.

Although they noticeably called the place where USC plays the “USC Stadium” instead of the LA Coliseum (presumably due to licensing issues), there were some fantastic features showed off.  In the video below, you can see USC’s pre-game ritual, the studio pre-game show, and the new live look-in feature.

In the beginning of the video, there is a title called, “Quick Clips Thursday” which leads us to believe that every Thursday there will be more gameplay videos coming out from around the country.


IMPORTANT: If you haven’t already heard there is a huge deal going on right now for NCAA Football 13. Only $44.99 with 99 cent release date shipping, no tax, and the Exclusive Nike Pro Combat Uniforms.  I don’t know how long the deal will last so get  your pre-order in today on the XBOX 360 or PlayStation 3!

Huge NCAA Football 13 Pre-Order Sale!

Amazon.com and Toys R’ Us have both marked down NCAA Football 13 to $44.99.  A few days ago this deal was only on the XBOX 360 version of the game but it has since been expanded to include PlayStation 3 as well.  This may be one of the best pre-order deals of all time.  If you order through Amazon, you get release date shipping for a maximum of 99 cents, you have no tax, you receive the exclusive Nike Pro Combat Uniforms, and a $15 price cut!  There is no telling how long this deal will last so you should move quickly if you plan on buying NCAA 13.

We should be clear that this is not a post-release price slash which indicates that the game may be underselling or underperforming.  This is a retailer based cut which has nothing to do with the quality of the game.  Order your copy today!
