    MADDEN TIME!

    <img src="http://videogames.techfresh.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/madden.jpg">

    I think I will be going tonight to pick it up at midnight, like I do every year. Can not wait to play it since there is a lot of hype behind it yet again. Who else is getting it at midnight?

    And after you get your time in, whats your impressions thus far?
    Add whatever else about the game you feel fits.

    BTW, dont forget to post your gamertags (and to what system).
    I dont want this turning into the usual gamertag thread though...

    Yea, I'll be getting it again this year but I'm not a loser who goes at midnight. :p

    I'bve been reading a lot of impressions on OperationSports and it sounds great so far.

    Seems to have still a few quirks but most people I've read are loving it and some have said this very well could be the best Madden in years, or ever.

    I'm looking forward to it.

    I've "acquired" it. It's not worth it on the PS2. Basically the same game as before.

    Here's a review by Gametrailers for the 360/PS3 version:
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="480" height="409"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=23439"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=23439" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="409"></embed> </object>
    Most of the other sites have already reviewed the game as well.

    I'll get it for PC when I get off my 48hr shift. I'll have few hours to play before another 48hr shift on the 17-19. :(

    Here's my upcoming list:

    Assassins Creed
    Bio Shock
    NCAA or Madden. Not sure which.
    New AOE3 expansion pack.

    Not sure if I'll get it, gotta save up for all of those A+ games coming out for the 360 (Bioshock, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Splinter Cell, etc)

    OK, I'm a loser. :D

    Was wide awake and decided to just go ahead a go and get it. Just got home. I'll try to post some impressions at some point.

    Just picked mine up.

    Reviews are stating it's the first really 'good' Madden of the next gen. I'm hoping so; I've been without football for the last few seasons because of the piss poor games that have come out.

    Played around on the PS3 version and I am really disappointed with the graphics. Everything is really jagged. I hope the 360 version looks better.

    WOW.

    When you're online, the audio is a run through of the nights sports news and scores. It's like you are listening to espn news. I heard about the Astos win over the dodgers

    Did they ever explain why the fps is lower on the PS3. So freaking stupid.

    I did not think that would affect the graphics, just the fluidity of the motion.
