As avid readers of ESPN’s Page 2, and former college students who lost more hours (and brain cells) to NBA Jam and NFL Blitz than we’d care to admit ourselves, it came as a bit of a surprise to find the shoe on the other foot recently. Courtesy of columnist Kelley Carter, we got the chance as a prelude to annual industry gala the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) to preview the hottest new sports video games coming in 2010 and 2011. To supplement the story, simply titled What’s New in Sports Video Games? (think motion controls, free-to-play, massively multiplayer online and other watchwords), we’ve compiled the above gallery. From titles for your PC, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360, DSi and PSP on up to those for social networks like Facebook or digital downloads via distribution services such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade or WiiWare, rest assured. There’s something here for everyone, fairweather fans and facepaint/foam finger types alike.
