Jimmy Fallon vs. Tiger Woods Thursday Night
It seems that late night talk show host, Jimmy Fallon, has challenged Tiger Woods to a friendly game of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for the Wii. Of course, the athelete accepted and the match will go down this Thursday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Sure, it will be fun to see Jimmy Fallon play Tiger Woods at his own game but it will be even more fun to just watch Tiger Woods actually playing his own game. I wonder if he’s good.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online coming to a browser near you
EA has recently gone ahead and announced a new play-in-your-browser game entitled Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online. No, this won’t be an MMO based around golf but instead a regular run of the mill golf game that you play in a web browser.
There isn’t news much in terms of gameplay but EA let us know that courses like St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, and TPC Sawgrass will be featured.
Tiger Wood PGA Tour Online is apparantly scheduled to launch sometime in the fall with subscription based pricing. However, if you want to get in on the action early you can sign up for the beta here.
Wii MotionPlus Debuting With EA Games
It seems like just the other day I was scratching my head in confusion with the announcement that the Wii MotionPlus would be released a full month ahead of Wii Sports Resort, one of the only titles I’d heard of so far that was boasting MotionPlus support. Letting an exciting peripheral sit on the shelves with nothing to play it with seemed like a ridiculously bad decision.
Now it makes sense however as EA must have cut an amazing deal with Nintendo for instead of putting forth a first-party option on the market with the initial launch of the Wii MotionPlus, they’re going to let EA bundle some games along with the peripheral. If you were looking for this announcement to take you in a new and exciting direction you’re not going to be too happy. There are two different bundles being planned, one for North America and one for Europe. Once again the USA’s love of video games is shooting us in the foot as the North American bundle only comes with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 while the European bundle also includes Grand Slam Tennis. The bundles will only be available for a limited time but the games will be available on their own afterwards as well as three others games EA is working on for the Wii MotionPlus.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 gets officially announced
While we’ve unofficially known about this game ever since it was announced to support Wii’s MotionPlus technology, EA went ahead and took the invisible cover off the game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is said to include the US Open, and a USGA championship along with real-time weather. And when we say real-time we really mean real time, the game has the ability to monitor current real-life weather conditions and depict them in the game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 will be out for pretty much every console you can think of sometime this year.

Grand Slam Tennis, Tiger Woods Suport Wii MotionPlus
EA today announced that EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 will hit Wii on June 16. They also confirmed that these two will be the first Wii games published by EA that support the upcoming MotionPlus controller add-on.
The controller add-on, revealed last summer, promises to improve the accuracy of the Wii Remote’s motion-sensing capabilities to an almost 1:1 scale. It is to be bundled with Wii Sports Resort this spring.
The publisher notes that gamers will get a “near perfect 1:1 swing” in Tiger Woods with the accessory and that Grand Slam Tennis will offer the “deepest tennis experience” when coupled with the add-on.
