More screens from NCAA Football 08
A few more NCAA Football 08 screenshots have made their way out. Click the thumbnails below for the full size images. What most stands out in these screens are the exceptional player models as well as the overall sharpness/brightness that seems to be prevalent. It also appears that the sideline activity was neglected to a certain extent, likely due to the sacrifices that had to be made to get the game to run at 60fps. Overall these are probably the best looking scre...

First ever PadreCast
I have uploaded the first edition of the PadreCast. You can listen to it with the player below, download it from the link provided below, or listen with the player in the sidebar of the site.

I wonder what kind of a market there is for them? They seem to grudgingly release games on the PC and that has a much larger base to draw from.
