Madden Arcade:

Electronic Arts is planning a smaller, arcade-style version of its long-running Madden NFL football franchise, revealing that the publisher is working on Madden Arcade for a release before the holiday season. EA Sports bossman Peter Moore announced the game today.

Moore described Madden Arcade as following in the vein of the publisher's Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network release 3 on 3 NHL Arcade, which featured big headed hockey pros going head to head in teams of three.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

IGN: "Cutting Edge Social" Game for XBLA

Today independent developer Sarbakan announced it has struck a deal with Microsoft to create an original Xbox Live Arcade game for release in early 2010. It's not ready to give us a name or any specifics for the game, but Sarbakan says it will "take advantage of all of the cutting edge social features present on the Xbox 360 console."

This mysterious XBLA game should be officially announced soon. When IGN knows more, you will, too.

I don't know anything about Serious Sam. It obviously looks like a shooter, but does anyone know anything else about it?

I've gotta say, I'll be spending the next month or so playing Splosion Man, Trials HD, and Shadow Complex! Sure, the summer may be slow for retail games, but it's great knowing that each year (I'm assuming they'll keep doing this as it appears to be quite successful) we have some great games showcased in the Summer of Arcade.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

All the people who have played Serious Sam games on the PC, Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2 since 2001 probably know something else about it.  Also anyone with a computer that can search for information on the internet using Google or Wikipedia.
