We have three words for you: Lead Blocking Control! LBC changed
the face of Madden, and we admit that it makes the game far
too much fun. We really don't know how to stop playing it.
Some people called Madden over-rated but when we asked to
play their football video games, they shyly slunked away with
an embarrassed look on their faces. Ha! Jaded Know-it-all
posers! When you grab that ball and start creating holes for
your receivers, you'll agree that it's an all new way to
play!

Fight Night Round 2 ripped my thumb apart so badly due to
the C stick on the Cube controller, that I'm honestly glad
EA chose not to port it to that system this year. With my
patented Gel-Tabz in place on my X360 controller, I was ready
to punch a few more faces this year without suffering "boxer's
thumb", cuz, man that ouches. EA delivered the most realistic
looking and playing boxing game to date with FNR3.

We swing with the best of 'em and therefore we love's our
Tiger Woods around here. Every year EA tweaks, yanks, squeezes
and wrings some more excellence out of its stable of programmers
to create an even better golfing experience and 07 was no
exception. The only thing that will make this game the best
game ever created in the history of the universe is if EA
can somehow program a real life drink chick to drive up into
our office every once in awhile and offer us beer while we
hit the links. Free beer, why of course.

We remember Visual Concept's NBA 2K for the Dreamcast wayback
when and we're glad that this excellent B-ball game is still
bouncing around - unlike VC's equally impressive NFL 2K series.
We'd have to recommend the next gen version of NBA 2K7 over
the others simply for its smooth luscious visuals, which makes
ballhandling a piece of cake.

Like most everyone else, we thought that Rockstar was pranking
us with the announcement of their ping pong game. We were
waiting for the violent punchline like "It's Table Tennis...but
with serial killers, murder and blood!" Once we played
it though, we still thought "It could use more serial
killers, murder and blood", but once we played it some
more, we realized they weren't kidding and we actually liked
it. Okay truth be told, we're still waiting for Rockstar to
release a code that enables "serial killers, murder and
blood" and we plan on waiting in the pumpkin patch with
Linus until it happens. Don't tell mom!
