Will Games Make the Cut at Your Super Bowl Party?

Madden 09 Super Bowl Screen

Many of us are out today to get drunk and eat wings while we watch the Super Bowl. I’m hoping the Cardinals whoop the Steelers’ ass, but that’s just me. Before the game, I have a feeling there will be some serious gaming going down.

I have both family and friends coming over and everyone has expressed interest in playing Scene It, Rock Band, and various Wii games. For probably a few hours before kick off, while we all stuff our faces, we’ll also be hammering away on plastic instruments and controllers.

What about all of you out there? Do you plan to incorporate video games into your Super Bowl party? Drop us a comment and let us know.

Madden 09 Simulates Super Bowl XLIII

I’m going to go out on a limb and disagree with the results of EA’s Madden 09 simulated Super Bowl. They put the game through its paces and the Pittsburgh Steelers came out on top 28-24. I think the Cardinals are going to stomp them, but that’s just me.

In the simulation, Ben Roethlisberger threw for 3 TD’s and took home the MVP award. The Steelers then held off a late 4th quarter comeback to keep the game in check.

EA and 2K always run championship simulations, but aren’t always the best at picking the winner. We’ll see next Sunday who really comes out on top.
