Madden 99 million Sales

Madden has been one of the most well received sports franchises of them all, and after 25 years of solid gaming, the sports series has finally hit the 99 million mark. FIFA managed to hit this title in 2010, so Madden still has competition, however, for Football fans this is a great milestone in gaming history.

The 99 million sales have also brought in over $3.7 billion total life net revenue. If that's not enough to celebrate though, this year marks Madden's 25th year, and EA Sports will be releasing the next Madden title as Madden 25, instead of Madden NFL 14.

Madden 25 will hit the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms on August 27 later this year, and although

Dead Space 2 Bonus

Mass Effect was the first game to offer an incentive to playing the previous games, and playing Mass Effect 1 and 2 would reflect how characters act towards you in the following games. Dead Space isn't offering an incentive as amazing as this, however players of Dead Space 2 will receive an extra gift for having a saved file of the 2^nd game on their hard drive.

If you are one to have a Dead Space 2 saved file, you will receive the Planet Cracker Plasma Cutter in the third game. The Plasma Cutter has slightly better stats than the standard starting one and has all 8 circuits unlocked right from the beginning of the game, giving players a slight advantage

Trailer Capture the Flag

Yesterday we wrote about the latest expansion from Battlefield 3, recently EA came out with a brand new trailer showing off the new game mode Capture the Flag.

The new video shows the Americans capturing the Russian flag and the ensuing epic chase of trying to get the flag back to base. It also shows off how dynamic the new dirtbike will be in this classic game mode, the whole video seems like it was pulled right off of a 1990's action movie.

Along with Capture the Flag being shown off, we were able to get a sneak peak of the new mode Air Superiority. The last scene of the video shows off the cockpit of a jet with multiple jets circling near him.

End game is releasing in March of this year. Don't forget to prepare yourself by buying yourself and your friends custom

Dead Space DLC

Visceral games are one of my favorite development teams because they consistently bring out new and original concepts for games, and the Dead Space 3 trilogy has been an extremely exciting experience to play through. I am looking forward to playing through Dead Space 3, however there's one element of the game that has almost tainted the experience.

Publishers like Activision and EA seem to eat up and spew out any method they seem fit to bring in more cash to their titles, and at times it almost ruins a games atmosphere.

Dead Space 3 will include 11 DLC packs from launch, to help new players within the game. The game has apparently been directed towards 'those

New Battlefield Expansion

End Game, the latest and last expansion from Battlefield 3 will bring all new vehicles, new assignments and Air Superiority mode.

The expansion will also bring back capture the flag and the new vehicles will include a motorcycle, anti-air vehicle and a dropship. The motorcycle will be able to have two people ride on it with the passenger firing his weapon while the dropship will be able to transport vehicles onto the battlefield.

Air superiority mode will feature teams facing off in dogfights while trying to capture specific points in the air. The team pulled the mode off of Battlefield 1943.

End Game will release in March with Battlefield Premium users able to play it two weeks before it is released to the public.

Black Ops maintenance

Recently Treyarch has informed PlayStation players that they may have trouble connecting to, and staying in a game due to maintenance on the PlayStation network. It was nice for Treyarch to give notice to players, and although Treyarch gave little information on the reason for the maintenance, they wanted players to be patient and understanding of the situation.

The PlayStation network maintenance lasted most of the day, and although most PlayStation owners should be able to access most of the features, players may have difficulty getting into online play on some titles.

An official announcement by Treyarch on the matter was unexpected though, so it may
