The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

Thursday Thoughts

• Sorry for not posting. I know you all keep hitting refresh to see if I posted. LOL
• Let's see, of course since Madden came out and I bought the Wii and 360 versions of Madden, I've been playing Pub Games and Bionic Commando for the 360. Shocked, I know.
• Okay, I actually did play Madden for the Wii and the "Test" for the 360. There's no test for the Wii version (yay!) and the mascot gamen isn't the first option on the screen (YAY!). They also have downloadable rosters on the Wii (Triple YAY!) While the game is fun, I will tell you that in the first 30 seconds of the game it was tied 7-7. Not really a defensive struggle....but did I mention it was fun? The game actually levelled off after that, and as had been mentioned, the call your shot is an AWESOME feature.
• Remember how I mentioned how much I enjoyed ABC Monday Night Football on the PC -- one of the things about that game how you could click on an WR and change a pattern. It was great. Well Madden Wii takes it one step further with call your shot: you press a button, point the Wii mote on a WR and hit another button. Then you move the Wii mote and create a route for him. Zig Zag, post, slant, deep, some bizzare combination of both -- you can do it. It is way more fun than you think it should be.
• I haven't tried Head Coach yet -- I'm very curious but it's not my genre
• Little League baseball for Wii is still a favorite game
• I just caught up with Sunday's Mad Men episode. I love this show, although recently it seems to have gone Sopranos...but that's not a bad thing.
