It also notes that "the countdown begins 4/5/08". Whether that countdown will lead into the NFL Draft or something else (cover announcement?) isn't immediately clear. ...

Tecmo Bowl 2008 platform uncertainty
Tecmo Bowl 2008 was announced back in May of last year however since there has essentially been no follow up at all. Even where it's headed is in question as the only hint they gave at the time was how it would "probably not be on the platform that you’re expecting". In the January issue of EGM it was reported that the game was being made for the 360 and PS3. Now though the same publication is suggesting that it will be a Wii title. So once again we are back at square one wondering wha...

Take Two acquisition update and no APF 2K9?
Recently a few new developments have surfaced regarding the potential takeover of Take Two by Electronic Arts. While it has almost seemed to be inevitable, a few more curious events have taken place that seem to be in line with that eventuality. A severance plan has been created in the case of a sale that would protect employees from unjust firings. Now the two biggest shareholding firms have sold off significant portions of their stock and a shareholder lawsuit against Take Two was filed...

Head Coach 09 community Q&A
EA Sports has posted up a Q&A taking submitted questions from the community answered by the development team behind NFL Head Coach 09. The game is currently slated to release this fall, with Gamestop listing it as the first week of September. That would make sense given the NFL season kicks off that Thursday.
