Given the less-is-more state of the global economy, it's entirely appropriate that Madden NFL 10 appears on these pages at least partially for what EA Sports isn't doing with the now-legendary series. Example: EA Sports is halting the practice of adding in crazy gimmicky features (QB Vision anyone?) that directly conflict with the authenticity of the game. Another example: the Wii Madden team is foregoing wild over-the-top Wii gestures in favor of a more refined control scheme.

PlayStation Beat: This week marks the 25th Anniversary of the Madden NFL franchise with the release of Madden NFL 25. This made me think about what made Madden NFL 10 playable for longer than two weeks. Madden IQ, did you make it better

What do a coffee cup and borrowed video games have to do with the real meaning of Christmas? Lots, apparently.

Careful where you put your coffee!

When it comes to sports curses, aside from the Chicago Cubs, there’s no more active superstition than the Madden curse. Since 1999, almost every year something bad has happened to the cover athlete of Electronic Arts’ bestselling Madden NFL franchise. Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis is the latest victim of this curse.
