Well it's been quite awhile since I made a blog post here, mainly because I just come on to check out user reviews, ratings and most of all... videos. I love gamespot's ease of use and up to date information, which is mainly why I use them over the millions of other videogame sites out there. In an effort to spruce up and perhaps "get with the times" on my page, I have added a new header and a new title image. I think they're both very well done, at least for me. I'm not very huge into photoshop, but I do have some basic skills needed for my web design hobby. Speaking of which, I have a blog and a fantasy football site going so far. My brother is actually learning the ropes too as we try to get ready to begin our very own entertainment site. It will more than likely cover games and movies... but we haven't worked out the exact details yet. If your interested in helping out, please contact me at apinzone@ramapo.edu. We could use all the help we can get, all you need to do is have some patience and a good knowledge of the games you're playing. Hope you like the new look, and I look forward to hearing from some of you!!! Here's the other two sites: http://www.pzproductions.com http://www.pzfantasyfootball.com

Yes, it's true. The new Madden is coming soon.... maybe not soon to some, but only like 3 months away, is very soon to all highly addicted Madden fans.

This year, I'm looking for the following updates:

A more interesting Superstar Mode.
The superstar mode last year was boring. They didn't apply a lot of things to it. Each year you had the same emails, the same unlockables, etc. This year I'd like to see a wide variety of emails, certain things unlocked only if you reach certain goals, etc. Developing this idea more will definitely bring back some fans they lost last year.

New Franchise Features
I know they released a game, just for coaching, which was dumb. They should have just enhanced the coaching abilities in the franchise mode of Madden. Aside from  that, more statistical popups would be good. Not the same old ones either. Unique ones, like in a real game. The option too choose how often statistics pop up would be good too, some people love lots of stats, others get annoyed by them.

Little Tweaks to the Gameplay
Of course, the gameplay can't be perfect, but some tweaks here and there to get rid of some glitchiness would be nice. A better ability to control your passes too. How often did you press up on the control stick to lob it over your receivers shoulder, only to find the ball landing well short and the receiver having to stop their route. I find this happening often, and it can get frustrating when you press something, and what you intended to happen, doesn't.

New Mini Games
Have been the same mini games since they released them, give us some more!

I'm sure theres a lot more that can be added too, what are your ideas??

well, I'm a huge Miami Dolphins fan, and I was so excited to see them manhandle the Broncos (34-10) on Sunday.

Us Dolfans were showed a lot, an explosive offense, a stingy defense and an altogether fantastic performance from the Phins. I'm even more excited about this season now, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

GO PHINS!

Although this game didn't get the greatest ratings in the world, it is a decently fun game. The only major problems I've found is that the story line lacks the edge of your seat interest, and the online play is, well, there basically is none. Only about 8 people are ever online, and when you try to join a game, the server just kicks you off within 30 seconds of joining. This is very frustrating as I think this would make a very very good multiplayer shooter.

Overall this game is worth a Rent, but I'd pass on purchasing it. It'll be a nice enjoyable experience though, especially if you're a fan of first person shooters. If you do really like this game, and would like to purchase it, be sure to stop by your local Wal*Mart and pick up a copy for the low low price of $14.99.
