      Sports Illustrated Subscription Gets You A Copy Of Madden 10

      August 15, 2009 /

      Madden 10 for Xbox 360.If you’re a Madden fan looking to get the latest release, you may want to consider signing up for a year of Sports Illustrated instead. The sports mag is actually giving away a copy of Madden 10 with your yearly subscription for free, and for the console of your choice.

      From a financial standpoint it’s a great pick. You get 28 issues of the magazine for $49 (and get yourself enrolled for automatic renewal), plus a bonus Madden documentary and, of course, a free copy of Madden 10 (which retails for $60 for PS3 and Xbox 360). I’m willing to call it $125 worth of merchandise for just under $50.

      Remember, the deal’s only good if you live in the US or Canada.

      “Madden” is still king of the console

      August 11, 2009 /

      Just like clockwork, the annual installment of Electronic Arts’ hugely popular “Madden” football series was released today for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii with a slew of new features. At the top of the list is an online franchise mode that lets you play a ten-season NFL schedule with up to 31 other friends, and, for the first time in the history of the franchise, online co-op. EA has also jumped on the mobile bandwagon with a custom iPhone app that can be used to update rosters on the go.

      The game’s biggest strengths this year, however, are the incredible attention to detail, from the addition of a more realistic injury system (play hurt and you could risk a longer recovery) to the lifelike reactions of the players on the field and the coaches and refs on the sideline. As usual, the game isn’t perfect, but much like last year’s 20th anniversary edition, it comes pretty darn close. Check out Bullz-Eye’s full review of the game and, after you’ve had a chance to play it yourself, come back to let us know what you think.

      Dragon Age: Origins Gets Pushed Back

      August 11, 2009 /

      Dragon Age: Origins is bringing sexy back.The latest in this year’s string of blockbuster pushbacks comes courtesy of BioWare. Their new RPG, Dragon Age: Origins, has been bumped from the original October 20th release date to November 3rd.

      The delay began as a rumor based on altered release dates at several major retailers. BioWare quickly denied the rumor, claiming they were sticking to the October 20th release. Just a day later they officially confirmed the delay and announced the new release date.

      What does this mean for you? Well for one, you’ll be waiting to get that freak on with the animal of your choice. For another, not a whole lot. The release was still far enough away that it shouldn’t affect anyone too terribly. What they would be changing this late in the process is beyond me, but I’m not really the developing type. The Playstation 3 version of the game has been delayed with the PC and Xbox 360 versions, though without a set launch date.

      PS3 Is 70% Cheaper To Make Than At Launch

      July 31, 2009 /

      The Playstation 3.During a conference call, Sony corporate CEO Nobuyuki Oneda said the PS3 is now some 70% cheaper to make than it was at launch. Most estimates suggest the PS3 was around $800 to build in the beginning, which puts the console at just $240 now.

      The obvious question – does this mean we’ll see price cuts some time soon? I’m inclined to say no, since Sony seems to be losing money everywhere, but that might be a great way to get a leg up on the Xbox 360. Sure, no one likes to be losing money on hardware this far into the product cycle, but imagine getting a PS3 for $250! I’d probably go buy one tomorrow out of pure disbelief, especially if it came with a decent hard drive. Microsoft’s cheapest console is so pared down I couldn’t really justify buying one.

      Sony could keep prices where they are to try to recoup some of their recent losses, but why let the world know the price has gone down so far? So we know how much is headed straight to Nobuyuki Oneda’s bonus check?

      DJ Hero Gets Hardshell Case, Makes DJ-ing Less Cool

      July 29, 2009 /

      The DJ Hero Renegade Edition.In my little Cleveland ‘burb I’m constantly exposed to hipster wannabes. They sit on street corners by the bars most of them aren’t old enough to get into, strumming air guitars or playing air bass or even air drums. They play Girl Talk loudly through their iPod earbuds and shout to their friends, “This is my new mashup! I just have to make sure the levels are right!” I trust you can imagine the fingers moving furiously up and away and then back toward the mp3 player.

      When I first saw DJ Hero I immediately thought of these kids. Now they’ll have another “instrument” to poorly imitate to their friends. And it comes in a case no less! That’s not just a hardshell guitar case photoshopped with a DJ Hero logo, that’s the game’s Renegade Edition, complete with a turntable case that doubles as a stand.

      There’s still no word on pricing, but we do know that the Renegade also comes with an exclusive 2-CD set with unreleased tracks from the likes of Jay-Z and Eminem. With games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero on the decline I’ll be interested to see what sort of response Activision receives for DJ Hero. As I mentioned, I’ve got a few people in mind who will almost certainly buy a copy.
