Shaquille “Swinging Giant” O’Neal joins Tiger “Crimson Cat” Woods in this spot for the new PGA Tour 13 video game, which pays homage to old kung fu movies.

The commercial shows the two champions swinging using the Kinect version of the game, which also happens to look like kung fu.

The organization’s partnership with a digital theatrical distribution company will allow the 3D broadcasts to be aired in more than 120 theaters across the country.

The first event scheduled to be aired in 3D is its annual Super Bowl weekend card on Feb. 4, 2012. A total of four 3D events have been scheduled.

Darrelle Revis of the New York Jets attended a launch party hosted by rapper 50 Cent and actress Zoe Saldana. The party celebrated the release of two new Motorola products: the Droid RAZR phone and the Motoactv, which Revis is sporting in the above photo.

The Motoactv  is an excercise device worn on the wrist that can track running, walking and cycling statistics, with an integrated GPS unit to track routes. It also records and monitors calories burned as well as heart rate and holds up to 4,000 songs that can be played on the go.

Also in attendance at the event: New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, former New York Jets wide receiver Wayne Chrebet, rapper Tony Yayo, and actress Kelly Rutherford.

Anderson “The Spider” Silva was chosen by fans to be featured on the cover of the new “UFC Undisputed 3″ video game. Fans selected Silva from a list of five other nominated UFC fighters: Cain Velasquez, Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, and Frankie Edgar.

Dana White made the announcement at the Fan Expo in Houston, Texas ahead of UFC 136.

Brock Lesnar covered the 2010 version of the game, and a number of fighters covered the game’s first installment in 2009, based on region.

“I’m very happy,” said Silva. ”Thank you to my fans and my family. For me this is a great, great, great dream.”

The game will be released in January of 2012.

The cover art for the NBA 2K12 video game was just released, and they chose to go back in time to find the stars that will be featured. Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Larry Bird appear on the covers, but Michael Jordan is the primary cover choice. The Magic Johnson and Larry Bird covers will be released in limited quantities.

Kobe Bryant was the last current NBA player to be featured on the game’s cover, for NBA 2K10. The fact that they opted out of featuring someone like MVP Derrick Rose or Dirk Nowitzki is like a sad reminder to NBA fans that the action in the game may be the only basketball they get to see this year.

Shaquille O’Neal has teamed up with the  Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to release a new app for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch devices. The app promotes internet safety and also provides instant, real time information about registered sex offenders in Ohio.

The app provides children and parents tips and tools on how to be safe on the Internet, including commonly used Internet lingo and a pledge children can take to stay safe. A message from Shaq himself reminds predators “We’re keeping watch.” The app is free and is available to download from the App Store or at OhioICAC.org.

The people who market the MLB are trying to attract the attention of younger fans, by implementing some new media outlets online. MLB marketer Tim Brosnan told the New York Times, “We want to be part of the discussion at the digital water cooler, day in and day out, with a younger demo than we’ve targeted in advertising before.”

Firstly, they launched MLBAlwaysEpic.com which is a mircosite that allows fans to watch videos like a journey inside Brian Wilson‘s beard. They also introduced the MLB Fan Cave. After searching through thousands of applications for the MLB Dream Job, two winners were picked to watch every game of the 2011 MLB season in the Fan Cave. The winners will blog, tweet, Facebook, and star in a web series about their experiences. The Fan Cave is located in an exclusive location in Greenwich Village in New York City, and will play host to fan activities from live music and parties to visits by MLB players. The Fan Cave is not much of a cave however, bur rather a fish tank with large glass windows that allow passersby to view all the actions of the cave’s dwellers. The winners of the contest, Mike O’Hara and Ryan Wagner, will be able to watch the game on any of the 15 TV sets in the cave which was designed and created with the help of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’s Paul DiMeo.

Stay tuned all season long for the latest MLB insights from these two.

For only $9.99 you can improve your swing and golf just like Tiger Woods!

Well, some people may not want that right now. If we’re talking the Tiger Woods’ swing of now, it may not seem like such a good investment. Tiger Woods’ swing pre-divorce and drama? Might be more worth it. The technology behind the Tiger Woods: My Swing application that was released today, which is available for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad2, allows users to record their swing and compare it to Tiger’s.

If you’re unsure about trying it out, this might convince you: Woods is donating proceeds from the sales of the app to his Tiger Woods Foundation which promotes youth education.

The tennis video game Top Spin 4 came out last week, and this week a racy commercial that was shot and not used by the company was leaked. The video, starring Serena Williams, was leaked by the other star of the video. Actress Rileah Vanderbilt posted a link to the video on her Twitter, resulting in the video game company releasing the following statement, “As part of the process for creating marketing campaigns to support our titles, we pursue a variety of creative avenues. This video is not part of the title’s final marketing campaign and its distribution was unauthorized.”

Even if they did not authorize its release, the rejected commercial probably caught the attention of many a gamer on the internet.
