I'm not a big fan of sports games but I am a huge football fan. I pick up the new Madden about every other year. I got it last year and haven't really played it much so I won't be getting it this year. To me, there just aren't enough updates to justify getting it and they could just update rosters with a patch.

I never really insist on playing a demo first. Most of the new games I buy are high profile can't miss titles. If I see a game used/cheap I will throw the dice and pick it up, knowing nothing about it.

It was over a year ago when I last tried to get a match and was unsuccessful, so I doubt the situation has improved any.

My favorite is still Chaos Theory, but Conviction is probably #2. Double Agent is clearly the worst entry in the franchise.

I'll go with the easy cliche and vote for the old Rambo films. First Blood was the best.

If you are a fan of the movies then you should definitely play the game. I picked it up new for $20 a couple of months ago and it was well worth it.I don't know what the reviewers gave it but I would give it an 8/10.
