Talk about coming full circle... games based on sports and now sports based on games! lol

Although the only way I learnt about American Football and became a diehard Steelers fan was courtesy of Madden on my PS2.

Gotta love those stats! :)

I'm simply not a sports fan, outside Tennis that is . . .all the rest just don't "do it" for me I'm afraid . .But then, Motorsports is a "sports" of sorts, so I suppose that counts - doesn't it ???

And Forza 3 is due out in 2009, and that's all I'm worried about. We may have some nice juicy news about that soon as well .. so stay posted, or check out a little update we did on Saturday on it. ( http://xboxoz360gamer.com/2...
