    Here is the first highlight video I put together with footage from the NCAA Football demo. Keep in mind this was completed at just about 3:45am so I question how good it might be. Regardless I hope you guys enjoy it. I'll keep doing videos over the coming days as well as posting my full impressions of the demo along with some screenshots. ...

    The demo for NCAA Football 08 can now be downloaded from the 360 Marketplace. It is unknown when or even if the PS3 will see a demo for the game.

Check back to pastapadre.com for full impressions, videos, and screenshots from the demo. ...
  • First look at the Wii version of NBA Live 08

    IGN has posted a preview of NBA Live 08 for the Wii. What they saw was early in development, but they seem encouraged by the direction it is going. Personally I don't really see basketball as a game that will work all that well with the Wii controls. The shooting matches up, but so much of the game relies on quick reaction time and precision. It's hard to imagine all the other elements in a basketball game fitting in seamlessly to offer a satisfying 5 on 5 experience. Of course I would ...

    In conjunction with E3 will come the release of numerous demos. Of those that are expected, the most likely sports titles are NCAA Football 08 and All-Pro Football 2K8. If you want a long shot it could be Nascar 08. Updates are below as of 7/12. Also as I've noted before, don't be surprised if one or both are released only for the Xbox 360 and not for the PS3. NCAA Football 08: Demo has been released on the 360 Marketplace. All-Pro Football 2K8: Demo is expected "within t...

  • New hands-on and videos of Madden 08 for the Wii

    Thus far a decent amount of information has been released regarding the Wii version of Madden 08. Now IGN has posted up the first true hands-on impressions of the game along with two videos. In general, Wii motion controls are easier to use, so big hits on defense and head-down plowing are simpler and are much quicker in response time. As part of the full Mii incorporation, each player will now use a profile at all times, and the on-screen move indicators will now show the Mii head as well...
