I planned on coming out to E3 and doing a bit of somewhat live blogging about what I've seen. However, being a sports gaming site, there really wasn't a ton of things to blog live about. There were some good things to see in the sports gaming world, but instead of just doing quick hitters on the fly about what I saw, I wanted to take the time and kind of think about what I put my hands on and provide a little more analysis about the games shown at E3. So here's kind of a game-by-game preview about what I was able to play while I was there.... Madden 09 First things first. I'm a football gamer at heart, so naturally wanted to see what Madden had in store for us this year. QC already went to the Community Event a few weeks ago and got extended time with, but I didn't go to that event so this was the first time I got my hands on it. And let me say that I came away impressed with Madden 09. The defense is stout, the controls are tight, the presentation is good, and I think we finally got back to the X's and O's of football again. I also really enjoyed the "Backtrack" feature where Chris Collinsworth breaks down plays as you happen to take a sack or do something like thrown a pick. It's actually very intuitive when you up the difficulty to All-Pro or above. Why?

I wanted give everyone the heads up that ConsoleSports.net will be in attendance at E3 2008 this week. I will be in attendance for the annual, invite-only event. This is our first time ever at the event and I hope to really take in just what it's all about. I know that I already have arrangements made to check out NBA 2K9 as well as NHL 2K9 while I'm there along with a couple other interesting appointments.
So, keep checking back to ConsoleSports.net for updates throughout the event. If you have any questions that you want me to try and find answers to, post them in the E3 2008 section of the ConsoleSports.net forums . I will do what I can to get the questions answered. There's also going to be some pretty solid information regarding NBA Live 09 and NHL 09 coming in the next few days as well. We will have that info for you as soon as we are allowed to post. -Craig
