Madden NFL 08 - Hit me with your best shot

PS3 Preview | Madden NFL 08

Ray Lewis shifts right and stacks the line, right in the direction your halfback sweep is supposed to go. It doesn't take a MENSA-level IQ to know you need to audible to something - anything - else. You just don't run at Ray Lewis, one of the NFL's most dangerous defensive weapons, period - especially this year. In Madden NFL 08, EA introduces its new player weapon feature, meant to represent the dominant players of the league. In past years, "dominant" was defined by a speed rating. In 08, EA ...

Madden NFL 08 - hands-on

PS3 Preview | Madden NFL 08

Fellers, the game here is obliteration, fully American. Your team is a horde of juggernauts, growling and grunting and advancing downfield, shape-shifting into strategic formations to confuse your enemy, trampling any mound of flesh and bone that isn't a cheerleader…. Football will eternally be entertainment based on blood-thirst, and the game-architects at EA embrace the violence with the standout new addition to this year's Madden - the weapon system. It labels players according ...

Is Madden 09 too noob-friendly?

PS3 Preview | Madden NFL 09

Just as the leaves fall in autumn and the birds migrate south, each August will see the release of a new Madden game. Millions of dutiful fans line up to buy it every year, while the rest of the gaming world looks on and wonders what all the fuss is about. Every year, EA is forced to up the stakes to keep the fanbase happy, but the more complex the game becomes, the fewer new recruits are drafted into the ranks of happy Madden players. Even ...

Madden 09: Why even Europeans will love it

PS3 Preview | Madden NFL 09

For non-US gamers, American football is a daunting sport. EA's Madden-sponsored yearly videogame strips away none of the intricacy or depth, and so it's not surprising that it leaves most non-believers in a state of almost paralytic befuddlement. But with Madden 09 we finally get an American football game that doesn't alienate casual observers with its impenetrable action ...

Mafia II - first look

PS3 Preview | Mafia 2

2008 is shaping up to be the year of the free-roaming sequel. In the coming months, fans of open-world games can look forward to Grand Theft Auto IV, Saints Row 2, Mercenaries 2 and Just Cause 2, for starters. And assuming its still-unannounced release date happens later this year, one of the biggest will be Mafia II.

Forget what you might remember about the first Mafia's crappy showing on the PS2 and Xbox. When it arrived on ...

Mafia II

PS3 Preview | Mafia 2

Jan 4, 2008 GTAs success means gangster chic will never fade, yet there are few games that place you in the trilby hat and spats of yer actual mobster, rather than an Uzi-toting modern wannabe. Fewer still that offer anything more than pun-heavy ...

Major League Baseball 2K7

PS3 Preview | Major League Baseball 2K7

One of the benefits of having an exclusive deal in this crazy business-of-game should be not having to try that hard. Apparently no one told 2K Sports, because the way they've been cramming their MLB games with fistfuls of features could find the casual slugger pressed to experience them all. So, did you think 2K7 would have less going for it? All of the bells and whistles from 2K6 are present and accounted for. And everything that wasn't in full working order last season has been overhauled ...

Major League Baseball 2K8 - hands-on

PS3 Preview | Major League Baseball 2K8

Now that football season has ended, it’s about damn time America’s got it’s priorities straight and focused on hot dogs, apple pies and shagging foul balls. 2K Sports hasn’t forgotten what the ol’ red, white and blue is about and has worked tirelessly on adjusting the finer points of new baseball sim, Major League Baseball 2K8 (aka MLB 2K8). Set for release on March 4 - just in time for spring training - 2K has ...

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

PS3 Preview | Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Tuesday 17 October 2006 X-Men Legends had a good run as an Action RPG but what about those of us who like our superheroes with a little less social outcast to them? Publisher Activision is embracing the entire Marvel universe with Ultimate Alliance, and allowed us to embrace every next-gen version at a recent hands-on event. The cast is a veritable who's-who of the heroic elite (in the Marvel universe, anyway). We were able to formulate our team from the following icons: Captain America, ...

X-Men Legends had a good run as an Action RPG, but what about those of us who like our superheroes with a little less social outcast to them? Activision is embracing the entire Marvel universe with Ultimate Alliance, and allowed us to embrace every next-gen version at a recent hands-on event in Santa Monica, CA. The cast is a veritable who's-who of the heroic elite (in the Marvel universe, anyhow). We were able to formulate our team from the following icons: Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron ...
