NCAA Football Demo out today for the ps3/360
Just a quick note to my football loving friends. EA Sports has released the demo for NCAA 09 today for both the 360 and the PS3. The NCAA series, in recent years, has been a much better game than Madden, so for hardcore sports video game fans today is a pretty exciting day. Sign on and go download that sucker. I’ll be back with impressions later tonight or tomorrow.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a single squidoo page about NCAA Football, which is a crime against humanity, so I suggest that someone go make one, stat!
There are a bunch of pages dedicated to Madden though, and the early word on Madden is that it is shaping up nicely and that they are actually listening to the community for once. There has been an active poster over at Operation Sports that is part of the Madden team and he is taking feedback from the hardcore fans straight to the team. I’d be lying if I didn’t say this has me pretty hyped for the game, but the reality is that Madden hasn’t been good in years. Hopefully this year will be different.
I’m just happy to be talking about football again though, fall can’t come soon enough.
I am a perfect 10
As I was wandering around Squidoo tonight I ran into a really interesting HeyMonkeyBrain debate on the concept of games getting a perfectt 10/10 score. I found it interesting because not too long ago I wrote my own review of Grand Theft Auto 4 wondering how much of the overrating of the game was hype or if it was even more sinister.
The debate talks specifically about MGS4 and GTA4. Both have been given perfect scores from Gamespot.com in the last few months. Two perfect games? Really? I can’t even comment on MGS4 because my PS3 broke last week. The drive just stopped responding and Sony wants to charge me $150 to fix it, which I just don’t have right now. But still, I find it hard to believe that the game deserves a 10/10. Video game journalism has become so sensationalistic that it’s impossible to take any of it seriously anymore.
So check out the debate and let those suckers know what you think.
Also, if you are a fan of browser based MMOs (like Runescape) I found a lens on one called Fallen Sword. It looks pretty neat, I may just have to try it out sometime. But check out the lens, get a feel for it and then go play the game for free. Hooray free.
And, if you are one of the hundreds of thousands that picked up NinJa Gaiden 2, check out this lens for those tough as nails levels and boss fights. It is a great resource for your Ninjaing needs.
