Madden NFL 08

The king of the console grid iron is back for its 18th year with Madden NFL 08 ($50-$60; Aug. 14). The title packs in a new Player Weapon feature, an all-new Read & React system, a new Front Office mode, and tons of new player moves that'll have you making spectacular catches and bone-crushing blindsides. You even get the ability to buy your own Ring of a Champion ($150-$500). Just increase your Madden Gamer Level to create your own in-game 10K gold championship ring that you can order from EA and Jostens. And no matter what your system of choice, you'll be able to play Madden — versions are available for Wii, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Xbox, GameCube, Nintendo DS, and PSP.
