Welcome to the Super Bowl Showdown

The two weeks leading up to Super Bowl XLII are already jam-packed with good storylines. There's Brady vs. Manning v. 2.0, Belichick vs. Coughlin, and the 18-0 Pats taking on the Giants who refuse to lose away from Giants Stadium. Now it's time to add one more story to Super Bowl XLII: GameSpot vs. SportsGamer.

Welcome to GameSpot's biggest and best Super Bowl feature ever. All next week we'll be bringing you in-depth coverage of the upcoming big game between the Giants and the Patriots, and having a whole lot of fun in the process. Starting Monday, you can expect daily blog posts, Super Bowl XLII breakdowns courtesy of the guys over at SportsGamer, and a culminating video match-up between GameSpot's Aaron Thomas and SportsGamer's Shanker Srinivasan on Friday, February 1.

Now, while I'm looking forward to seeing who takes the inaugural GS vs. SG Super Bowl crown, I'm most excited about your input into our Super Bowl festivities. You see, in addition to challenging you to create your own Super Bowl commercial for inclusion in our Super Bowl showdown (read all about how to enter right here), we've chosen several GameSpot users to take on Madden experts over at SportsGamer to answer the eternal question: Which site has the best Madden NFL 08 players? Check out all the details here, and stay tuned for the results of these match-ups starting next week.

So, Patriots, Giant?. Brady, Manning? Thomas, Srinivasan? Who do you like in the Super Bowl?
