Random Video Game Rant & Madden 09
When I think of video games for my PS3, I usually think of them based upon a timeframe for which certain games come out.
For example, being a huge sports fan, in the spring time, I look forward to MLB The Show, a baseball game coming out, which results in my summer baseball fix. Playing this game throughout the summer prooves to be a fun chore, as getting through a 162 game season is always an interesting task (one I am currently trying to do with the Minnesota Twins).
When the summer is over, fall hits and then the gaming shifts to football season, as both NCAA/Madden football games get released. Being the sucker I usually am, I purchase both games made by EA Sports and play football games during the brisk fall months. Finally when winter draws near, I get my hands on the new NHL/NBA video games that have come out for the year.
Sure, I also occaisionally buy games that come out once every couple years such as GTA IV, Burnout and Hot Shots Golf, but for the most part, I purchase sports games in a yearly cycle, as each year I buy 3-5 sports games in a year cycle. I always seem to buy the game after it comes out, and when that sports season is over, that game either gets sold, or it begins to collect dust in my DVD rack.
Seems like each year gets divided up into four different parts, as throughout the whole year, I at some point am sucked into a vortex of gaming pleasure. If it be baseball season, then yes, I will be playing a baseball video game, or once the snow falls, I tend to switch over to hockey.
Anyways, with that random rant aside, Madden season is coming, as in just a couple of months, Madden 09 gets released with you know who...Brett Favre on the cover. Anyways, the staff over at IGN.com has been posting some preview information and this year's game is looking to be very good. On this great Friday, take some liberty out of your day to check out the below link which previews Madden 09:
