Weekly Recap: July 2nd-8th
With E3 coming this week a lot is being held back. NBA Live 08 kept its strong push going though, revealing a handful of new features and I was able to talk about my thoughts on the Hot Spots.

The Madden Community Day planned for this coming week was changed into an NCAA Football centric event. Chris Paul has been chosen to be the NBA 2K8 cover athlete. This should be a pretty big week.

Weekly Recap: June 18th-24th
Gametrailers really pushed out a lot of videos for NCAA Football and Madden this week. It dominated NCAA Football's content, while Madden had a handful of other things going for it as well due to the producer blogs. Specifically, the blog discussing the blocking may have gotten the best reaction across forums of anything EA has ever put out. All-Pro Football was dominated by marketing discussion. NBA Live has been showing itself off and has the community day event this coming week. There was a s...
