After some careful thought, I decided to go ahead and get Madden '13. Granted, I've been on here and heard all the pros and cons and I must've read various reviews as well as visited the Madden section of the Forums here to gain some insight.

I'm still playing '12 and I'm enjoying my Franchise very much, but I also am curious as to see if I can't gain at least some enjoyment from CC mode in this year's game.

Call me old-fashioned but I miss the days when video games required gamers to use buttons and controllers. There was just something visceral about the whole experience. Sure, your fingers hurt like hell and your thumbs were sore, but there was a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Granted, I have a vested interest in controller-based gaming because of my limited dexterity, but the movement away from button controlled gaming concerns me just because not every gamer likes analog ... Read More

Let me start this by saying that every gamer is different and to each their own. But for the life of me, I just can't get into playing video games online. The extent to which I go online is to check for updates/patches, download rosters, and occasionally purchase DLC for the few games I do own.

The main reason I don't go online is that I hardly have time. With me pursuing my 2nd degree, I just don't have the time to devote to playing much.

I also have heard plenty ... Read More

Despite the uncertainty that surrounds the NFL season, I'm actually quite excited for this year's edition of Madden NFL '12 especially after seeing the recent videos that showcase the presentation improvements and gameplay.

I'm most interested to see what improvements/enhancements that have been made to Franchise mode since I'm more of an offline gamer. If the guys at EA have made significant changes to Franchise that make it deeper and more enjoyable to play, then I'll no doubt ... Read More

I know that some of the hotter games out there are like SOCOM or COD and that many of my fellow OS'ers enjoy playing them. However, I am one of the few that does not. There are legitimate reasons for this.

First, because of my physical disability, my reaction time and hand/eye coordination and reflexes aren't great. As a result, I'd get killed too quickly and too often as it is.

Second, I prefer sports games or action or fighting games.

Third, I don't ... Read More
