Everyone's favorite cursed money maker finds itself on three consoles: Madden for the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Wii. With the 360 version only using traditional button pushing, we're more keen on how the game with use those new fangled motion controllers. Electronic Arts' Katherine Coulthart explains:

• SIXAXIS

• By doing a few small, quick movements with the controller, you're able to execute certain moves before the snap and after the snap. If you're on offense, you can do a hard count as the QB and try to get defenders to jump offsides, or use the controller movement to execute Lead Blocker Control, one of our new running game features this year. If you're on defensive, you can use the movement to jump the snap on a blitz to get to the QB quickly, or use it to lay a big hit on a ball carrier.

• Wii-mote

• Madden NFL 07 for Wii uses FreeMotion Controls based on a simple premise: see the move, then do the move. So nearly all of the in-game movements are based on real-life movement's you'd actually do. To pass the ball in Madden Wii, you imitate a passing motion. To kick the ball, you imitate a kicking motion. We wanted to create easy controller movements that let anyone play the game, from the experience Madden gamer to players who might have been intimidated by the complexity of playing a football video game in the past. Now anyone who can do these basic moves can play Madden for Wii.

Well, whaddaya think? Me, I'm going with the Wii-mote—sounds straightforward and fun. Brian Ashcraft
