Strap in racing fans. Your loyalties may be tested as Jeff Gordon will be the cover on EA’s latest, NASCAR 09. You may love him of hate him, but he can drive.
Gordon’s prestigious reputation aligns with the new NASCAR 09 career mode, “Sprint for the Cup.” Gordon will bring the game to you as a guide and a mentor to help you build your reputation to become the next NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion. With a completely rebuilt handling model, the game will be more accessible to newcomers while continuing to offer options that will challenge even the most experienced virtual driver. NASCAR 09 is an authentic NASCAR experience that will appeal to every type of NASCAR enthusiast.
The game sure looks pretty. I’ve personally never gotten into NASCAR. Something about watching guys make left turns for a few hours just doesn’t peak my interest.

I know both UT3 and Gears are sharing the Unreal 3 engine, but couldn’t Epic have been a little more creative with the character modeling here? Take a look at the image above. On the left is Reaper of the Ronin team. He’s the main character you play in the Campaign. On the right is Dom Santiago, the secondary character from Gears of War. Notice the resemblance here?
I know character faces aren’t what you notice most in an Unreal game, but the graphics in UT3 are so terrific you do here. And having your cover boy look really close to a character from another AAA title in your stable isn’t the best option, in my opinion. Again, not the biggest of deals, just seems a bit lazy in my eyes.
Looks like the Tennessee Titans are going to be in for some bad luck this year. Vince Young will be gracing the cover of the 2008 installment of Madden. The second year quarterback will try to prove he can break the streak of injury filled seasons for Madden athletes.
The Nashville City Paper reported today:
An official announcement is expected on Tuesday and Young will appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” as part of the kickoff promotion for the newest version the popular NFL video game that is endorsed by NFL Hall of Fame coach and analyst John Madden.
The Madden Curse has plagued cover boys for years now. Expect Vince Young to do down sometime early in the season, cause that’s how it goes.
