The two Madden buyers, serving as named plaintiffs in the class-action suit, alleged that by eliminating competition for NFL-licensed games EA had acted in a monopolistic fashion and unjustly enriched itself at the expense of consumers. On Friday Judge Walker issued a ruling denying EA's motion. The Judge did, however, rule that only claims in California and Washington, D.C. would go forward since that is where the two named plaintiffs in the case reside.<br/>GC news10/06/2009'Voice of God' heir battles NFL Films over Madden program (Madden NFL 06)http://www.n4g.com/gc/News-155225.aspx<img src="http://m2.n4g.com/8/News/155000/155225_1_hs.jpg" border="0"></img><br />If you're a football fan, you've surely heard the voice of the late John Facenda. Facenda, a beloved Philadelphia newscaster from 1948-1973, gained national recognition for his voice-over work with NFL Films in the latter part of his career. <br> <br> However, a lawsuit filed by Facenda's son alleges that the NFL allowed Electronic Arts to use the announcer's voice to promote Madden 2006 in violation of a contract Facenda signed before his death.<br/>GC news9/06/2008Games shipping this week (Major League Baseball 2K6)http://www.n4g.com/gc/News-1642.aspx<img src="http://m2.n4g.com/8/News/1000/1642_hs.jpg" border="0"></img><br />Here are the games shipping for the week of June 12, 2006.

We're celebrating the prospect of Mario Party 7 with a plateful of sugar-covered screens, and maybe some jelly sandwiches. We'll put some candles in them later, if the internet lets us.

There's something almost violently alchemical about the way the two media usually react to each other. It's like getting hit by a yellow, piss-soaked snowball. Either element can be unpleasant enough on its own, but put them both together and something far more horrible happens. Games of movies, movies of games, they're both usually about as much fun as the death of a clown at a ten year-old's birthday party.

It's one of the most critically acclaimed franchises in gaming.

The kind of game that kept Granny away from gaming until Wii came along. It's about depth - of learning and understanding a game before truly mastering it.
