Where are the reviews of Tiger Woods 2008 for Wii?

I have been looking for reviews of EA Sports’ Tiger Woods 2008 for the Wii which was meant to have been released yesterday.

I rented Tiger 07 over the weekend, and was very disappointed. I have always loved the Tiger Games – even if they release incremental updates year after year. The Wii, I had thought, would have been a perfect platform for a golf game. Unfortunately, the 2007 version was utterly annoying to play. It was painfully obvious that it was the PS2 port with (seemingly) a few shell scripts thrown underneath to capture the movement of the wiimote.

I was hoping a lot of my gripes would be fixed in the 2008 version, and if so I would buy it (I am desperate for a golf game). However, I have been unsuccessful in locating any reviews for this latest release.

Comcast, Where is Setanta Sports?

The new Premier League (known in the US as the EPL) kicks of this coming weekend, and I am still bummed out that Comcast is still not offering Setanta Sports as an option package.

I wrote previously about my disappointment with Fox Soccer Channels EPL lineup last season. They basically sold half their rights to Setanta in order to secure the rights to MLS games. I was hoping that Comcast would announce that they were going to partner with Setanta and offer this channel before the season began. But it seems it is not to be. Comcast are really forgetting about their soccer watching audience. Dish Network and DirectTV both offer Setanta Sports already.

One of the cool things about setanta is that they also show the 6 nations rugby championship, as well as the rugby world cup. I have missed my rugby immensely since moving here, and would love to introduce my lovely wife to the gentlemen’s game. Come on Comcast, you gotta get going on this… Or maybe its time to switch to satellite?

When did Environmentalist become a bad word?

In this letter to the Editor: Merced thinks small, the writer is for the building of the Wal-Mart distribution center near my house.

The issue has caused a split in opinion across our community. However, the interesting thing was the guy uses the word “environmentalist” in a negative way.
