Earlier this week, the official Madden NFL 12 simulation of Super Bowl XLVI took both the underdog and the under for the first time in the past nine years, calling the New York Giants as 27-24 winners over the New England Patriots. A simulation run on dearly departed Madden nemesis NFL 2K5 returned the opposite result. More »

You might remember the clever Grand Theft Auto inspired Coke commercial that made the rounds in movie theaters and even appeared in a high profile spot during American Idol TV last year. It features a GTA style character rampaging through town, only to be turned to the light side by enjoying a Coke and a smile. The clip will be one of three different Coke commercials appearing in today's Superbowl. According to a Coca-Cola rep, the plan from the beginning was to air commercials on both American Idol and the Superbowl thus reaching a larger audience since, according to her, everyone doesn't watch American Idol.

The Steves at The Dartmouth are like us: They use video games to make important life decisions, like where to bet $100. To figure out who would win the NFL championship games this weekend (and, hence, the Super Bowl finalists), they played the favored Denver Broncos versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Madden 06. It was Pittsburgh 21-17. Next was Seattle Seahawks versus the Carolina Panthers. It was a blowout: Carolina, 28-10. More »
