    Madden Wins Kids' Choice Award

    The 2008 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards have come and gone. and it was yet another glorious year for children young and old everywhere. Highlights include a celebrity sliming performed on Orlando "Immensely Overrated" Bloom, Hannah Montana desperately trying to get her own name back, and the Naked Brothers' Band once again receiving condemnations from NAMBLA for false advertising. From a gaming standpoint, my nephew narrowly avoided getting a sympathetic smack upside the head as EA's Madden 2008 inched out High School Musical: Sing It! for the coveted Favorite Video Game award. It's nice to see that children faced with a crappy selection of titles went for one of the lesser evils. More »

    Madden Curse Strikes Again

    It's beginning to get kind of spooky now. Madden 2008 cover boy Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans had to retire as quarterback for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a quadriceps strain, and it's too early to tell if he will be fit enough to play in next week's game against Houston. Not being a doctor, I looked up quadricep strain on InteliHeath.com, where I found this:
    Most Grade I or Grade II strains begin to feel better within a few days. In most cases, symptoms are either totally gone, or very much improved, within 8 to 10 weeks. Symptoms of a Grade III strain may last until the torn muscle is repaired surgically.
    A little more research suggested 10 days as a minimum for recovery, so at the very least Young will miss one game. Perhaps next year players will finally wise up and the Madden cover will just have a picture of a football on it, causing footballs everywhere to explode. More »

    Frankenreview - Madden 2008 (Xbox 360)

    My hand is already played; I'm admittedly not a sports fan. But I am a fan of using sports games as a litmus test for how comfortable developers have gotten with specific hardware. More »
