[Editor's note: Who says changing your favorite game has to be in the realm of practicality? I would totally play BigPopaGamer's version of Madden. Read on for his take on improving the Madden series as part of the Monthly Musings. -- CTZ] 

So for those of you that know me, you know I am a bit of an armchair quarterback. I love my football (college and pro) games. I don't play them that much, only when the newest upgrade comes along. So of course that means I love the Madden and NCAA series of football games, but I'm only going to talk about the Madden series in this article.

Madden. Ah, the voice, the man, the legend. We all know and love him for what he has done for the game of football. But what he has done for the gaming world is unbelievable. Nowhere will you find a series of games with clearer battle lines drawn in the sand. And for all it's glory, there are still a few fundamental flaws that I would change about it. More after the jump.

So you're excited to be picking up the latest first person shooter. You have saved the money and made the trip to the local GameStop, wasting the precious resources of Mother Earth and polluting her atmosphere, just so you can play the latest insert generic shooter title here.

Now you have started the first mission and are flying through the levels when all of a sudden you hit a bottleneck on one of the maps. No problem right, I mean you do have a .50 machine gun station you can just use to clear them out, right? Wrong.

You watch as you finish off your 100th baddie and see 20 more piling through the gates. At some point you start to think the baddies would know running through that gate is a sure way to meet Allah. In fact over 100 of their buddies have done just that. Now those baddies should be reconsidering their choice of profession. But then again, baddies aren't very smart.

Welcome to a Good Idea, Bad Idea focusing on unlimited spawns. I will be looking at the little known annoyance to FPS gamers, the unlimited spawn points, or USP for short. I will be comparing the worst example, Call of Duty 4, to several other FPS's that use it such as BioShock and GoldenEye.
