Took it easy today, still on vacation from work. I go back to work next week Monday, and lucky for me 4th of July falls on Friday, which means only a four day work week!

Forgot to say yesterday my car battery was dead. I jumped started it and have it on the battery charger all day today. I also need to wash it, it has a layer of dust on it, mixed in with dry rain spots! UGH!

GamePro.com has posted their preview of Backbreaker.

Quote:
"Backbreaker, for now, rides on the strength of its gimmick. But it's an admittedly good gimmick: recently released trailer, showed a lone runner dashing upfield past a horde of enemy defenders."

Did you guys miss me? Probably not! Anyways, my trip to visit my sister was pretty fun. Got to see my niece who was born in April. Hi Alicia!

Also visited a couple of my friends from high school who live in the area.

One of the things we did was we did the Qwest Field Tour. Pretty amazing facility! Got to see the press box, the instant replay booth, and also got to walk on the field. It was a amazing experience to do.

PALGN has posted their preview of Beijing 2008.

Quote:
"or example, in the Triple Jump, in order to run faster you must waggle the right analog stick left and right as fast as possible in order to raise a bar on the bottom of the screen. After a few moments the bar 'locks in' and your character runs at a locked speed.
Another mini-game pops up immediately afterwards, where you have to press the right trigger to jump once you've hit the line, and then continue to time your presses as the character hops across."

IGN has posted the following Top Spin 3 updates:
  • Top Spin 3 Play as the Pros Video
  • Top Spin 3 Hands On

    Quote:
    "Unlike last year though, the audio is worth suffering through in order to play some solid Top Spin action. The game is quick and smooth, the frame rate ends up making the experience feel like a true, rhythm-based tennis experience, and the final result is something that feels a little thrown together on the interface side, but plays like Top Spin should play."

IGN has posted the following Madden NFL 09 updates:
  • Madden Monday: New Stadiums and Weather

    Quote:
    "Obviously, stadium models are a more subtle effect than other additions in the game -- improving the player models you stare at constantly are one thing, but accounting for such a large expanse and all the things that affect it (including everything from crowds to weather) can be a daunting task at times."

IGN has posted a NHL 09 blog called The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

Quote:
"As you have heard, Dion Phaneuf is our cover athlete. He is a perfect choice for NHL 09, not just because he loves playing the NHL series, but because he is one of the best young defensemen in the NHL. Taking control of Dion and stepping up on an opponent in the neutral zone is a beautiful thing."
