Was a big fan of NFL 2K5 , but there was always something I didn't like about madden all these years, but I've like what I've seen so far from Madden 25.  Videos and some previews look good.  I even like the demo of NCAA Football 14.

Anyway hoping Madden 25 gets some good reviews this year.

What do you guys think of Madden 25 so far?

New to Assasin's Creed always interested, but never pulled the trigger and purchased one of the games.

Should I buy 1st Assasins Creed before this one?

Can you turn off the outline around players?? Maybe a hardcore mode. I really can't stand the outline around your buddy and enemies!!! Really takes away from the realism.

Check out the video....why the heck is there an outline around your teammate!! This kinda ruined it for me. What do you guys think? I think it takes away from the realism.

One thing I hated in Red Dead and Grand theft auto multiplayer was the enemy gametag being seen.  It really spoiled the experience for me, but i HOPE ITs NOlike this in max payne.  Games like COD and Battlefield dont have this problem.  Can someone let me know if you can see ememy gametags.  thanks.

The last few demos I've downloaded have taken forever. Started downloading Fight Night last night, but I had to stop after 1 1/2 hours (50% complete)!! Dead Space took long also.

Other demos I downloaded nver use to take this long!!

Can someone explain this? Thanks

With the current state of the economy and overall video game sales falling for 6 months in a row I really think the industry should consider reducing the sell price of new games to $49.99. I myself have cut back on purchasing new games for a while now, $60 is just too much for me. I know there are lot of development cost for new games, but these next generation systems have been around for some years now.

I think it's time to reduce the price of new games. Maybe it would STIMULATE the video game industry.

I just purchased a 360 and love it, butI'm very nervous about it overheating and getting the "3 red lights". I came up with an idea that seems to help a little, without voiding your warrenty and is very simple.

I pickup some 1/2" Diameter plastic spacers w/adhesive on one side, typically used for the bottom of furniture and stuff. If you notice on the rear of all electronic compontents they have built in spacers at all four cornersthat raise the unit above the surface. I read this is typically used to allow the hot air to flow.

Iplaced the spacerson the rear of the 360, raising it higher off the floor (seems like the existing design does not keep the 360 off the floor high enough). By doing this it increased the air flow and it seems to not run as hot!!. I even did it to the power supply and it's seems to help also.

I really think eveyone should try this..it does seem to help and the spacers cost like $2.00. Let me know what you think.

We'll, I just purchased a 360 and love it, but I'm worried I'll end up getting the 3 red lights. My friend got his 360 a few months after it came out and he got the 3 red lights twice now.

Is there some thing you could do to prevent this from happeniing. Mine is a newer systems, mayb that helps, but what about the cooling systems or a fan to keep it cool because it does seems to run hot.

For those who have not had any problems, have you done anything?

Thanks...
