Larry Fitzgerald & Troy Polamalu Grace the Madden ‘10 Cover

Deadly Cyclone — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:31:08 +0000

For the first time in series history two athletes will grace the cover of Madden 2010. Larry Fitzgerald and Troy Polamalu were chosen this morning by EA Sports to be dual cover athletes for this year’s edition of Madden. Not only did the two meet in the Super Bowl last season, but they both fit the new tagline for Madden this year, “Fight for Every Yard.”

“Larry Fitzgerald will be the second athlete to have been featured on both the Madden NFL cover (Madden NFL 10) and NCAA Football cover (NCAA Football 2005) the first being Shaun Alexander. The three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2009 Pro Bowl MVP reached career highs in reception yards (1,431) and touchdowns (12) in 2008, and set NFL post season records for yards (546), receptions (30), and TDs (7), as he led the Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII. Fitzgerald’s athleticism and unyielding focus often result in acrobatic catches that change the course of a game.

Troy Polamalu is a 2-time Super Bowl Champion and one of the most recognizable players in the NFL today. Anchoring the Steelers’ vaunted defense, Polamalu frustrates opposing offenses with his All-Pro speed, agility and high-impact tackles. Known for his quick reactions on the field and unrivaled preparation off the field, Polamalu is one of the few defensive players in the NFL who can rush the quarterback, shutdown a receiver in man-to-man, or drop back into zone coverage; making it necessary for the offense to account for him on every single play. Sharing the NFL record for most sacks (3) in a single game by a safety, Polamalu also recorded seven interceptions and 73 total tackles during the Steelers Super Bowl XLIII championship season.”

Madden ‘10 is set to release on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PSP later this year. Check out the PS3 and 360 box art below, as well as two shots of Fitzgerald and Polamalu in action.

Lego Rock Band Announced by MTV Games/Harmonix

Deadly Cyclone — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:34:20 +0000

MTV Games, Harmonix, and a slew of other publishers have announced Lego Rock Band coming to Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS in 2009. The games are being developed by TT Games in partnership with Harmonix and will “allow families, tweens and teens to experience a wild journey to rock stardom where they can ‘Build a Band and Rock the Universe.’”

“LEGO Rock Band combines the multiplayer music experience of Rock Band® with the fun, customization and humour of the LEGO videogame franchise packed with brilliant chart-topping songs and classic favourites suitable for younger audiences, including:

Blur: “Song 2”

Carl Douglas: “Kung Fu Fighting”

Europe: “The Final Countdown”

Good Charlotte: “Boys and Girls”

Pink: “So What”

Looks like a great game for family gatherings, but we do feel the need to ask where we draw the line in the music genre. Is there really a need for so many music games in one year? This genre seems to even be putting EA sports to shame.
