Sports Games Released This Week: All-Madden Edition

Well it is finally here! Madden 09 is being released this week for every console and hand-held available (yes, even Xbox). Now that Brett Favre is officially a New York Jet, some of you may be wondering what will happen with the cover. According to EA, Favre will remain a Packer on the cover, but you will be able to download a version with him in a Jets jersey (as seen above). I would like to point out my previous post discussing the possiblilty of this coming about as a result of the supposed Madden curse. Let's hope for Brett's sake that is all the curse does to him.

• Madden NFL 09 (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Xbox, DS, PSP)


• Madden NFL 09 All-Play (Wii)

Sports Games Released This Week: Repeat Edition

Once again, nothing too exciting being released this week. The only real story I could pull out of this week was for some reason the PC version of Beijing 2008 was bumped from last week to this week. Is this version that bad that not only was it not released with the console versions, but it is being released so close to the start of the Olympics in hopes that people will be more interested in watching on TV of playing their game? Anyway, on to the list.

• Beijing 2008 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games (PC)
• Summer Athletics (Wii)
• Little League World Series 2008 (Wii, DS)

Sports Games Released This Week: Olympics Edition

With the summer Olympics starting next week (08/08/08), an onslaught of Olympic related games are hitting the market. Well, more like afterthoughts than an onslaught maybe. Along with the official Olympic game from Sega on PC, there is also a non-licsensed Summer Athletics game coming to you from Crave. Let the button mashing begin.

• MLB Power-Pros (Wii, PS2)
• Beijing 2008 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games (PC)
• Summer Athletics (Xbox 360, PS2)

Sports Games Released This Week: Waiting for Madden Edition

Nothing too exciting to report here. The PC almost posted a shut out with its only competitor being the Nintendo DS. No new sports games for any other system. I guess at this point we just keep counting down the days until Madden 09 is released. See all the releases after the break.
