Madden 2008 (for every damn platform) finally hits this week and kicks off the onslaught of great games that will be coming out in the weeks to come. This little video here for Madden demonstrates the difference between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 version of the game. You won't really notice the difference until the game play is slowed down to 25% speed. If you didn't already know, Madden 360 is running at 60 frames per second whereas the PS3 version is only running at 30 frames per second.
Other than that, a handful of RPGs are out this week for the DS. What's looking sw33t to you?

Madden 2008 - Unless you're American, you won't know what the fuck is going on, but we'll sell it to you anyway! They don't call it American Football for nothing!
this looks like the same lame game over and over. nothing new. same bs over and over. why do people play this crap when you can get the same experience from the nflk2 dreamcast game? madden is a rip off.
i was just thinking the same exact thing about nfl 2k. i remember being really impressed by the graphics and gameplay when i first played that. seeing madden 2k8 it looks like the same freaking game as last year and the year before. that game should just die off but i can see why it wont since it sells a heck load of copies by just adding a year to it.
MADDEN HURRAY! nothing like a game that i havent played since 98 woot woot... hmmm i guess its been ten years should i give it a chance... should i give a fuck?
I'm very interested in Persona 3, sadly between school and work i'll probably buy something i can actually play for my recently acquired DS Lite ( I updated from phat last weekend)
as put by madden player my lil bro he is buying it "for the updated rosters and mini games" which I pointed out to him were the only differances from 07
