This year's NASCAR game from EA Sports finds the series in a year of rebuilding, but that's just fine for the game since it's a good time to introduce some changes -- the sport it follows is also seeing a big shift in the 2008 season, and the platform slate for NASCAR 08 has also broadened since this will be the first next-gen entry for the series.
Formula One's most famous export of recent years, Juan Pablo Montoya, has managed to secure a position on the cover of Electronic Art's NASCAR 08, this despite coming close but still not landing in victory circle in his new outing. Also on the cover is NASCAR's new "Car of Tomorrow," painted in Montoya's Havoline livery. The game is due out sometime later this year, Colombian flag not included.

Hit music from artists such as P.O.D., AFI, and The Black Keys, just to name a few, will set the heart-pounding mood as gamers prepare to hit the pedal and race their way to victory..."

Sony announced today the North American release of NBA 09 The Inside available on the PS2 and PS3 computer entertainment systems, along with the PSP.
PS Blog: Steve Bolender: Another great new feature the design team has added to NBA 09 The Inside is the Jukebox. What's the Jukebox you ask? It's a music player that allows you to assign songs you have on your PlayStation 3 for use in NBA 09 The Inside. Talk about cool! Now you can have your favorite tunes playing while cruising through the menus and during on-court action!
The next time EA decides to put an athlete who's an actual gamer on their NBA Live cover, it might help to have vetted him first. As Jon Robinson of IGN points out in a piece about who will replace Shaq as NBA 2K's cover athlete, Gilbert Arenas would have made sense. In a Q&A session on NBA.com last November when Arenas was asked if he plays NBA Live he answered, "No. I play NBA 2K. It's real, the NBA 2K. The other one, now ... it's too fake."
