This is Madden Week, the 21st in the franchise's lifespan, although it's been a phenomenon for only about a decade. Friday, instead of a Tuesday, football fans will call in sick to pick up their copy and talk smack to friends.
Other highlights: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 finds its way to the PS3 on Thursday. Death to Spies: Moment of Truth is out on PC tomorrow. Other than that, not much, because this is Madden's time to shine.
This week's count: Nine for PC, six for Wii, four for DS, two for 360 and PS3, one for PS2 and PSP.
