Does Your Madden 09 Freeze Too?

August 20, 2008 – 4:47 pm | by TheYoungGuy

Madden 09
Like many many others, my copy of Madden 2009 for Playstation 3 has been freezing. Typically when I am in my second game, sometime mid-game. I have been reading a lot about this problem online and have determined that it is a problem for many gamers on both PS3 and Xbox 360. Once guy actually spoke about older versions of the game causing the same problem on his original XBox. Well EA has not release a patch to fix this problem as of yet, but we are eagerly awaiting that day because its extremely frustrating when you have played a long tough game and fought back to take the lead and the game freezes.

Needless to say I was pretty upset when it first happened because I have heard rumors of the PS3 locking up and I wasn’t about to have that happen to mine. Thankfully its just the game and not the console. Other than that problem, I highly recommend Madden 09 to everyone.

List your complaints below and lets see what we can get EA to do about this problem.

Guitar Hero and Ozzy

August 8, 2008 – 9:15 pm | by TheYoungGuy

Guitar Hero has become huge in the console genres. First Aerosmith graced the cover a entire game and now Ozzy is going to be apart of the next version, Guitar Hero: World Tour. Ozzy is one of the largest influences on hard rock and heavy metal and having him lend his talents to Guitar Hero is a huge step in the series. What’s next? Check out the video from Gametrailers.com!!!

In other news, Metallica’s drummer Lars Ulrich joked in a recent interview about the possibility of a Guitar Hero: Metallica. What would that be like?
