Tiger who ??

ok PGA 13 is one of the corner stones of EAs sports gaming empire. it is also one of the odes to tiger woods talent and fame. however as we all know the last two years have not been nice to Mr woods with scandals and injury's clearly impacting his slumping game. so the game creators made a smart way to take the view off his current playing and divert it else where. thats right to his past. in a new mode called Tigers legacy challenge mode. you play as tiger from a toddler through his teens and his amateur titles. in all there is 10 eras. but it makes sense you cant make a game around a current player who hasnt one a major since 2008 and is now 135th on the money list. tiger woods is no longer the best in the game any more it makes one wonder who will be the center fold for PGA14

D.I.C.E

 D.I.C.E.

One of those to be honored is  Tim Sweeney of Epic Games the creator of the unreal engine. He is most known however for his trilogy gears of war. The other award The Pioneer award was given to Ed Logg who was a key developer back in ataris coin operated arcade game phases. he also was a co creator on centipede .
