New releases for the week of 08/13/07

     PS3

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? 

XBLA: Hexic 2, Ecco the Dolphin
WVC: Metroid, Shining in the Darkness, Cratermaze
X360: Madden 2008
PS3: Madden 2008
PSP: Madden 2008, Dungeons & Dragons Tactics
WII: Madden 2008, Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing
PS2: Madden 2008, Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1, MetropolisMania 2, Persona 3 
PC: Madden 2008, 1914 Shells of Fury
GC: Madden 2008
X: Madden 2008
DS: Madden 2008, Heroes of Mana, Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, Luminous Arc
MAC: Madden 2008

I noticed none of you saw fit to include a PSOne version of Madden 2008.

This is an outrage and I demand a recount.

I consider myself a visual perfectionist, but am I the only one who couldn't see anything until some barely noticeable choppier frames at 25%?

It was clearly visible in the slowed-down segments. Not as much, during the normal-speed parts.

@Rogue Trooper: Xbox, one assumes. Apparently EA still loves the old black monolith, even if Microsoft doesn't.

Also:

CARDBOARD BOX: Madden 2008
MICROWAVE OVEN: Madden 2008
TOYOTA CAMRY: Madden 2008

It wouldn't have come out on the Dreamcast. EA refused to support the Dreamcast. Your post is all lies.

They're still making new Xbox games? WTF? When the fuck are they going to drop that nonsense?

So what will these games be called once Madden kicks the bucket? He looks like he's one bag of chips away from that by the way.

Shouldn't the Wii version of Madden be like Madden 2005?

Amirite?

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!

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.
