Madden 09 Demo Coming

Actually the demo has been out for some time now and no one can find it since it goes by the name Madden 08, OK so it was a bad joke but in a news post for pastapadre.com they are claiming the demo will be out August 1st and that the demo will be set up a bit deferent than what you have seen in past Madden demos.

The demo for Madden 09 will hit XBL and PSN on Friday August 1st. If you just can’t wait until August 1st the same demo (only for the Xbox 360) is available with the purchase of an NFL DVD that releases tomorrow the 22nd.

This will not be a typical demo. Instead of traditional gameplay with reduced quarter length it will feature time in the virtual trainer and then head into one of the “Madden Moments”, this one from the Super Bowl. Only the offensive team will be controlled (in this case the Giants seem likely). Commentary has been excluded due to demo size limitations.

Its almost time to buck up and show your pride for the forth of July America and i cant think of a better way to do that then to set on your big hairy burger eating butt and play the theme song from from Top Gun in dirty boxers all day long.

If this sounds like your cup of tea then get ready for the time of your life, Activision is releasing the "Top Gun Anthem" as down loadable content for Guitar Hero III on July third so you can practice enough to really show your pride on July forth.

For the fans out there that know better this will not be the song (Highway to Danger Zone), no it will be this track right here:

The song will be available to mavericks and their wingmen everywhere on July 3, 2008 and will be out for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3.

Disclaimer: side effects of over playing this track include huge 80's hair, the uncontrollable urge to wear really shiny clothes, the need to pose and make metro sexual faces while holding your guitar next to your head and in some rare cases subjects have noticed mild anal leakage and all around douche bag behavior.

Please enjoy this down-loadable content in moderation.

 Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Fan Pack Set For July
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Fan Pack Set For July
Published by: wes213 on Saturday, June 28, 2008
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,


Ubisoft today announced the Fan Pack for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, a downloadable content update for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of its tactical shooter.
Slated for free download next month, the Fan Pack offers a total of three new multiplayer maps, which includes the fan favorite Calypso Casino map from the first Rainbow Six Vegas title. Two relit versions of existing maps Murdertown and CQB Training are also planned for the pack.


The video should explain it all but just in case here is the Packs full run down:

  • New Ranks
    An additional 99 Elite Ranks have been added for bragging rights. For those of you who are already Elite, you may have noticed that your XP continued to accumulate while playing. Once you have the update, your XP will automatically be applied towards the new Elite ranks, so it is possible that you have already ranked up multiple times past Elite.

  • New A.C.E.S.
    A total of 100 A.C.E.S. are available for each category: Marksman, CQB and Assault. Each A.C.E.S. level past 20 will reward you with 5000 XP that applies to your rank. For players who have already reached A.C.E.S. 20 and continued to collect A.C.E.S. points, you will be happy to know that the update will automatically advance you to the level you have earned. For example, if you have enough A.C.E.S. points to reach Marksman 25, you will automatically be at Marksman 25 and earn 25000 (5000 x 5) towards your next Rank.

  • Grenade Indicator
    When you are within the damage radius of a Frag or Incendiary grenade, an indicator will appear on-screen telling you which direction it is. The indicator can show multiple grenades at once.

    This list is huge so be sure to select read more for the full list and all the awsome add ons this DLC contains.

    Tagged: Gaming, Live Marketplace, Xbox 360,


    Dark Sector demo is now available for download on XBL, this game blends finesse and brutality into a fast-action game. It mixes first-person shooter control schemes with a third-person perspective. Your suit can 'morph.' This morphing is central to creating the new possibilities for our combative and non-combative game mechanics. Enemy guard shows off effective, believable facial expressions. The polygon count on each character is incredibly high, and the texture work is gorgeous. The characters move with smooth motion, and the special effects, from the particles, smoke, and fire, are all top-quality.
