Tonight, starting at 5:00PM, the Times Square festivities will be kicking off with the best Madden players going head to head, NFL stars including Jerome Bettis, Marshall Faulk, Jamal Anderson and Eric Dickerson making appearances, and an Xbox 360 Madden 08 ball drop at midnight. Maddenoliday, it's like Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled together mixed with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign and consumer craziness.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
i just got an automated call from gamespot that they are having a midnite sale of madden and you can start coming in at 11PM. Um......I think i can wait till tomorrow to pick up.
I never knew this game was so big in the US.
madden 08 since sat
Halo or GTA is understandable but this freakin Madden who the hell needs to get one at midnight?
I'm gonna pick this up at Blockbuster as a rental tomorrow and guess what they are going to have a ton of these sitting on the shelf by the time I get their after work.
Is EA paying people to stand in line or what?
Cause I can think of a single reason to go out at night and even bother picking it up.
the nfl is very popular over here in the states dont think even most hardcore gamers realize how large and popular this game really is.
but this one seems like one of the best madden games that have come out in a long time dont have the money to buy it right now. but will get it asap.
