Time for tackles and touchdowns and three point shots and high sticking and triple lindys and all sorts of other terms that may or not be related to a sport that I know nearly nothing about. Well, outside of what I learned from &#8216;Madden 95&#8217; and &#8216;Tecmo Super Bowl&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The exciting thing, typically, about college football games is that they&#8217;re a testing ground for new features. If EA is considering something for &#8216;Madden&#8217;, they&#8217;ll try it out in &#8216;NCAA&#8217; first. This year is a little different since there aren&#8217;t any major changes to the game. Then again, college football fans will be into it either way!<\/p>\n<h5>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004S0PNGY\/panandscathed-20\">360<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004S0PMWE\/panandscathed-20\">DS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004S0PN2I\/panandscathed-20\">PC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004S0PN6O\/panandscathed-20\">PS3<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B004S0PNDC\/panandscathed-20\">Wii<\/a>)<\/h5>\n<p>With all the complaints about spoilers, it still surprises me that videogames based on movies come out before the movies themselves. Then again, it doesn&#8217;t hurt to have a game ready for the people who want it, right?<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Harry Potter&#8217; games have a history of being\u2026 well, kind of crappy. If you really must get some interactive &#8216;Harry Potter&#8217; going, this is your only option for now. If you don&#8217;t mind waiting, the Lego games will get there eventually, and they&#8217;ll be far better.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things are looking up this week.
