It’s frustrating to think that the NBA could be headed to a lockout after what’s been one of the most entertaining seasons in recent memory. Thankfully, at least EA Sports will still be releasing a new basketball game this year, lockout or not. There’s no word yet on if 2K Sports will be able to do the same, which could play into EA’s hands. Even if both games are released as scheduled, a lockout will have a significant effect on them.

We’ve listed two new auctions on eBay today to raise money for the Japan earthquake relief efforts — a signed copy of Soul Calibur IV and a signed Sam & Max poster and statue. So go start bidding and support a great cause!

  • Virtual poker chip thief to spend two years in jail.
  • Wizardry making a return in the United States.
