    Madden Wins Spike TV award


    Proving once again that men (or at least men who watch Spike TV) like their violence packaged in spandex pants, Madden NFL '07 has grabbed the award for the "Game with the Most Game" category in the Guy's Choice awards. The show doesn't premiere until the 13th of June, but is this really a spoiler for those who wanted to watch the awards? The only other contender was World of Warcraft (which, don't get me wrong, is a popular game, but most of the award categories were geared towards the FHM genre, so I'm not sure it had a fighting chance). Spike TV probably already had the award engraved and didn't want to bother changing it. But it did get me thinking - what is considered a "manly" game these days? You know, without opening up that whole "boy vs. girls" can of worms.
