We have just posted our "Double Take" Madden 2004 review. Find out what Aaron and BK have to say about it.

Thoughts??

Why no comparative review from a panel of gamers reviewing the strengths and negative points of each title.

The Madden review is good, but IMHO it's designed to give the traditional "Madden" gamer an idea about this years version, instead of reviewing it based on what it brings to the table compared to other titles (Gameday,ESPN,FEVER).

Obviously this is just my own personal opinion, but I'd definately like to see a comparison between all the football titles available (Heck, include BLITZ too).

I was on another (non sports) forum this morning and someone possed the question. "I'm thinkinging of getting a football title this year, which one should I pick up?"

We like to get reviews out for the games, then work on features like that.

Good review aholbert & bkrich

an honest, unbiased review. nice work.

i do see where rough is coming from. i don't think you need to compare it to other games but the review has a feel of "everyone's played madden before". because most of us know what they mean when they say this hasn't changed much or this is all that was added i can take that review and make a decision, but i could see how someone that hasn't played the game in a while would still be out in the dark a little.

anyway, for those that frequent these boards it's great, nice work fellas.
