The accelerated clock was the best thing they ever put in Madden, this is the first year its been added to the next gen versions. This is the first year i will be purchasing Madden since 07 on PS2. And if the passing and tackling engines have been revamped like i've read they have then i might come down with the Madden fever all over again.
@Handsome Al: IGN said the song unlocking career mode is gone, every song in the game is playable from the start. Instead there are song specific challenges which earn you outfits, guitars, etc.
while there are some very cool tracks on the setlist, the number of bands ive never heard of and odd song choices for bands i know and like (QOTSA, White Stripes, Band of Horses, Bob Dylan, Beck) ruins the setlist for me. Ill be skipping guitar hero again this year for The Beatles, and whatever amazing dlc Harmonix offers up this fall. When they announced Band of Horses in the game i got really hyped to play "Is There A Ghost" full band. : /
wow. some of the comments here are very passionate and thoughtful inputs. reading them has made my day.
Coheed and TV on the Radio!!! Next week Iron Maiden!!! And i just remembered that i still haven't gotten Texas Flood...

At this point i think HMX should actually consider yearly dlc subscriptions. Just give them all my money in January.

Thank you Bethesda.

I nearly bought an XBox 360 for the Fallout 3 dlc. But i had faith, and held out. You guys would only make more money putting the dlc on PS3 too! Thank you for saving me $300!

I love Fallout 3 very much so this is huge.

@Ladi: you can still get the game pretty much anywhere, for cheap too. Its a greatest hit- $20.
this is beyond fucked up.

from people who made the scorpion king and chun-li?

I thought the Metal Gear movie was blasphemous, never thought they would touch Ico or Shadow. Makes me very sad.

"C'mon C'mon" by the Von Bondies is a bad ass song. That is one of the songs ive always wanted specifically for the drums.
@TheZohar: No shit! I totally made a UK account in London, England on 123 Fake St. too!

The meeting of great minds.

No Randy 'The Ram'? Oh thats right, not a real wrestler! :)

The Wrestler is a great movie.

I always thought it was funny that they did those stupid commercials with song that isn't even in the game.
so i guess you just go as far as you can until you get ambushed then game over? Thats taking the survival out of survival horror.
thats not fair. looks incredible. i didnt like battlefront 2 as much as 1. :(
Ok when is the PS3 DLC going to catch up with the 360's? Being a week behind two weeks in a row is a pain in the ass.
Happy New Year Kotaku! Thank you for being the most reliable and most fun place for gaming news!
I would love to play mega man legends and resident evil 2 again. I got to play them as kid but they weren't mine! They're faint memories now.
I dont know if ive mentioned it before, but the theater that i work at has a guitar hero arcade game. I wonder if we'll upgrade to this one...
McWhertor looks like a hipster. lol. nice beard man!
Wow really great comments this week. Kotaku has some learned readers!
