NFL Head Coach 09 is sort of like a Tamagotchi that has been built specifically for adult males who are foaming at the mouth for more football than any one Sunday could bring. It delves very deep into the actions of a head coach and, while most of it does feel like plodding through an endless stream of menus, there's a good chunk of Monday morning quarterbacks who are sure to enjoy it.

With the upcoming release of the PSP Go, Microsoft launching their Games on Demand service, the Steam service on the PC, the continuous release of downloadable games on both PSN and Xbox Live - are we bringing in the digital age of gaming? TripleChat takes a look into how digital distribution might be upon us for the next generation and how it affects you the customers, retailers, and the distributors. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for each segment? Does it make economic sense for us to go all digital? After all the digital age has taken over the music industry with services such as iTunes and Amazon's MP3 service.
See what we have to say and what we think of the possibility of full retail console games going digital. More after the jump.
I live in Ontario, Canada and until we can get Rogers and bell to drop their 60gb per month download limits.... we're screwed.
DD will never be 100% viable as long as there are gamers that want to trade or sell their games. Physical and Digital media are the same price currently, and as long as there is no benefits to DD it will not be viable.
For portable it can be good, it works. Also for a distinct service with smaller games it works but games on demand won't take over simply because games will get bigger and harddrives will be too expensive(especially if you have to buy them from MS).
For some areas of some countries, too limited to be "only" digital.
The progression we're on now is fine and i been downloading my psp games since late 04'
EA Sports recently revealed the cover athletes for Madden NFL 10 and NCAA Football 10 but they haven't made a peep about NFL Head Coach 10. There's a good reason for that - the project doesn't exist.
i dont get why they just dont make head coach a part of franchise mode or superstar mode...once u retire u can have the option of trying to become a coach then after u retire from being a coach u can eventually try being the president of the team or even the GM and then u can later become the owner of the team and decide what to do with your team
The DF crew is back with returning guest, TheGamerGeek, and a bunch of games to talk about. They start off the show with "What They've Been Playing" and discuss why they love Killzone 2. Other games discussed on the show include: Afro Samurai, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, Wanted: Weapons of Fate, WWE: Legends of WrestleMania, Watchmen: The End is Nigh , and much more. After all is said and done, they talk about the used game market and ask the question, "Are games art?"
I admit I thought it wud have a hard time beating CoD4's MP but boy does it come through! KZ2 over CoD4 anyday!
I really enjoyed the SP.. but I am not too keen on the MP yet. But I plan on playing it more when I get it back from my co-host.
As mentioned on the show, we talked about video games as an art form. What I would like to know is this: Do you guys believe that video games can be art...and why? Also, what game(s) do you believe will really push the media in an artistic way in 2009? Will Heavy Rain bring 2009's biggest innovation of the year?
I only played the demo of KZ2 so far and had a bit of trouble with the controls, but I know have the retail version and I hope the controls feel better. I really look forward to trying out the MP too...sounds pretty interesting to me.
I can't say that I've heard your podcast before, but I found it quite enjoyable...keep up the good work! Oh yea, Killzone 2 may be good, but it's not THAT good. :P
