Madden has yet to wow anyone with its next-gen offerings. That’s going to change this year. EA is throwing everything and the kitchen sink into Madden 08.

Along with big hits, gang tackles, and an improved hit stick, Madden 08 sees the return of owner mode. Once again you can decide the financial fate of a franchise.

I’m really looking forward to Blue Dragon. The demo was very cool.
Yay for Blu Dragon!!
I have never even heard of that first game, Enemy Territory Quake Wars… hmmm
Can’t wait for Bioshock, MoH, and Quake but I’ll probably be picking up all of them for PC.
I believe Too Human was delayed until 2008. At least, according to the MS E3 press conference (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/803/803108p1.html). I have nothing but high hopes for the game though. Although the in-game cinematic shown at E3 (and now available on XBL) was somewhat underwhelming, I’m still confident in Silicon Knights’ ability to make this a truly outstanding game.
It’s a shame about that cinematic though, I hope they have better. non-cliched, action choreography throughout the rest of the game.
Er, hello? surely Half-Life 2 Orange Box is a mouth-watering must buy?
Half life is must buy!! But that comes out in October my friend:)
Stranglehooooooooooollldd!! I didn’t know that there was a demo for Blue Dragon. I must check that out. Also, I can’t wait to get into the story of BioShock. The graphics are stunning. This month has a quite a bit of hits.
Bioshock equals Surpremo!
