EA Sports MMA signs Strikeforce league, additional fighters {Joystiq}
Nov 7th 2009 6:39AM It's not a league, it's a promotion.
We'll see how long they can survive the curse of Fedor. Werdum still has some fight left in him. The heavyweight division has been the weak one for years, so it's hardly a useful comparison. Sobral was a worthy LHW champion, so I've got to at least respect Mousasi. Beyond that, there isn't much to talk about.
Strikeforce used to have a history of putting together "exciting cards" (full of one-sided contests that ended with knockouts or subs instead of decisions). You can't really play that game with titles, which probably explains why they ended up with so few title defenses in general. They aren't even starting to call the shots anymore though. CBS/Showtime is running it in the US, and M-1 is running everything else. When it's over, they'll sue Scott Coker for his bones (witness EliteXC and Affliction).

Survey says Americans play more games than Europeans {Joystiq}
Oct 27th 2009 6:32AM Stands to reason. Less people play games when they're on vacation, and those Europeans..are ALWAYS on vacation.
Between that and the 35 hour workweek, it makes you want to learn German.
