Most of the folks who know me and my gaming tastes would think that I'm super hardcore and really varied - I play everything under the sun.

Is that true?  Not quite.

There has been at least one genre that doesn't entirely captivate my interest.  I've dabbled in it here and there but in 10 years or more I haven't really become too attached to any games within that genre. 

The genre I'm referring to?  The sports genre.

Until now.

Nintendo talks about reaching new audiences... now I'm already a gamer, to be sure, but they HAVE suceeded in making me buy a game that I would't typically buy - Madden.

I played Madden on Wii for the first time last week and I have to say that it finally made the game fun for me.  While I'll never be on a really competitive level in that game, I know that I fully enjoy "kicking" the ball, "passing" the ball, and most definitely "tackling" players.  :)

Bravo again Nintendo - you've succeeded in reaching a new audience.  I've never liked Madden much before, but you've got me ready to buy one now.

Wii Madden FTW ^_^
