Madden 2007 for Wii

Wow, have you ever played a football game before? Gosh, Lord knows I have! I’ve been playing football games for almost 15 years now. I have never seen one as well put together as this one. Puts all other football games to shame, and with this past Super Bowl it’s even starting to put the NFL itself to shame (thanks a lot for that horrible Super Bowl coverage CBS).

So for the high points, I have to start off by telling you how I play these types of games. I’m not the kind of person who plays shooters and sports games only with other people… particularly my brother Richard. Over Christmas this past year, my brother an I spent more than 30 hours over the course of 2 weeks playing that game. What a blast. That game was so fun it should be illegal (and probably is in California).

Some features worth mentioning are…

  • Real-feel passing
  • A training mode that it is second to none
  • A sound-track that’s simply blowing my mind
  • Excellent graphics
  • Real-time weather
  • Really intuitive camera control
  • You can use the light-gun to point to select players on the field
  • No more horrible button combos to perform audibles

It is insane how cool this game is, and Wii pulls it off so well. It’s always fun to have such a blast with my brother, and this game really enables it. Cooperative multi-player is something you just gotta have with a football game.

Welcome a New Review Author!

Everybody, say hello to my little friend… I mean the new author: jarhead. I think you’ll all like him.

Jarhead likes long walks on the beach, stargazing with his best gal, and relieving alien scum of all appendages above the shoulder.

I think you all will find his reviews refreshing and new, if for no other reason than for his love of the shooter. Jarhead is quite the console shooter connoisseur. He will be reviewing games primarily for the Xbox and Playstation 2. He’ll also put up some stuff about the Nintendo DS.

If you’d like to become an author on AnyConsole.com, please email editor@anyconsole.com with a sample review of anything (not necessarily a game, just anything) for consideration.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 — First Play

Okay, so my wife just picked up this game as a birthday gift, and I’ve just started playing it. OH MY GOODNESS the graphics are neat. The sound is well-done thus-far as well.

I’ll keep you updated, but man, this seems like one neat game. 1up.com gave it some good reviews as well.
