   Having just unclenched my playful fists from my Wiimote a few minutes ago, arms still twitching in pain after another furious round of Wii Tennis, I can't help but smirck at such futile battles, as the one heating up between Sega's Virtua Tennis 3, and EA's NBA Street Homecourt. What are they fighting for anyway? Not much: to release the first Xbox 360 game that supports 1080p resolution. Whereas, until now, Microsoft's console has only received games with support for 1080i resolution. How revolutionary is that!

   Nevermind what their games will actually play like: the only thing that these people care about is to have the best looking game out as soon as possible. Ney, bar that! Not even the best looking game, just the one sporting the highest resolution.

   Until yesterday, Sega was claiming that it would receive this shallow distinction in March, with the release of Virtua Tennis 3 on Xbox 360 (as well as on PlayStation 3, PC and PSP). However, Electronic Arts was quick to respond to Sega's challenge, as they now claim that their NBA Street Homecourt game also supports 1080p resolution on the Xbox 360. And, most important of all, they plan to release NBA Street Homecourt on February 20, a full month ahead of Virtua Tennis 3.

   So now that that's cvasi-settled, you can take a look past the cheap glitz and read about the two games' features, either in our local gamespaces (see the related links below), or on Gamasutra's stories linked above. Now if you'll pardon me, my arms have just stopped twitching, and that means it's time for a wiimatch!
