EA Sports has released the NFL week three set of “moments” to purchase in Madden Moments Live. They feature the Falcons pulling off the OT win at New Orleans, Leon Washington helping the Seahawks to an upset win over the Chargers, and the Dolphins coming up short against the Jets.

New Trailer for Skyline
The full theatrical trailer for the sic-fi thriller Skyline has arrived. This was a movie I hadn't even heard of until sitting in on the panel at Comic-Con where we were shown a full trailer and some additional footage.

FIFA 11 Experiencing Online Pass Trouble
An issue relating to the redemption of "Online Pass" codes for the Xbox 360 version of FIFA 11 has struck on release day of the game. I received numerous emails and tweets, verified by several postings on the FIFA 11 forums, that some users in the US are experiencing an inability to redeem the code. Those consumers are receiving a message that the code is invalid or has already been used once having input it for the first time.
EA Sports has now released a statement that they are working wi...
