From more realistic offense to better weather effects, the latest Madden showcases the biggest improvement in gridiron gameplay in years.

Graphics overhaul showcases richer detail than ever in player models and stadiums. Improved weather effects. Better tackling system finally allows offensive runners to break tackles. Improved fumble recovery.

Nitpicks aside, Madden NFL 09 has gone through both a visual and gameplay makeover that will have you spending countless hours (both online and offline) on the virtual gridiron.

Requires T-Mobile cell-phone service. The required router is outdated. High international rates. No solution for faxes or home security systems.

I've played other Fire Emblem games before, so I had high expectations for this one. Happily, my expectations were met. Generally, I like almost any game where you do things to gain experience and then level up. It provides a nice feeling of satisfaction....

Bleach: Shattered Blade is awesome. The game format is hack and slash, and it makes very good use of the Wiimote with nunchuk. The nunchuk is used to build up special energies, while the Wiimote is used for pretty much all of the hacking and slashing. As...

GameCube control options are available as well. My only gripe with the game is that there is no 16:9 aspect support, a bummer for any Wii title. However, this doesn't overshadow the game's solid fighting mechanics. Overall, Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revoluti...
