If you've grown tired with tossing around the virtual pigskin for the last six months, then you may want to check out Madden NFL 10's free DLC, Madden Ultimate Team. Available as a free title update on the Xbox 360 and PS3, Madden Ultimate Team turns the football experience into a trading card game, allowing players to construct custom teams using collectible cards. Upon initial start-up, you'll receive a starter pack with one coach, some players, an offensive and defensive playbook and home and away jerseys. You can then match your constructed team up against the CPU or take on a human opponent via online, where your performance will net you coins to purchase more cards. You can check out a tutorial of the new mode above, but also feel free to get a closer glimpse at the cards and interface via the images in our gallery below. Or, you know, just boot up your copy of Madden NFL 10.

There have been a ton of licensed Simpsons video games over the years. Some have been okay, others have been pretty damn good, one in particular is fantastic, and the bulk of them are downright garbage. As long as The Simpsons continue on in the TV realm, there will always be more Simpsons [...]

We keep hearing that Earthworm Jim is going to come back in a big way. A new TV show, new games, and a rebirth of one of the 16-bit era’s greatest characters. While I’ve been waiting and waiting for any news on this new game, Foundation 9 has posted up work for a [...]

I don’t want to get too much into this one on the site, because I’m sure there are many people that haven’t yet wrapped up The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. If you’re looking to get into some in-depth discussion about the full events of Spirit Tracks, you’ll definitely want to hit up the [...]

Miranda joins the crew of the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 but her trust is not easily earned by Shephard.

We can't be gaming all the time, despite our best efforts, and from time to time we'll actually take advantage of the movie-playing abilities on our gaming systems. JBO features our top picks for XBL, PSN, Netflix's Watch Instantly and Blu-ray each week. Today we're giving away 5 copies of Moon on Blu-ray, and to enter you just need to leave us a comment telling us what you're watching. Doesn't matter if it's on your PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, iPhone, PC, Mac, or at the theaters. Recommendation of the Week: Moon ($37.95 suggested retail, lower at many retailers) I was lucky enough to see this film at Sundance last year, and it blew me away. Duncan Jones has crafted a science fiction movie without laser beams, massive explosions and space aliens that is as gripping and addicting as 2001 or Alien. Sam Rockwell plays astronaut Sam Bell, the only man on the moon harvesting a rare mineral and living a lonely existence. As always happens in sci-fi movies, something goes wrong and shakes Sam's world up completely. The film looks gorgeous, has an incredible score and a bevy of extras. For an ultimate double-feature, pair this movie with Sunshine, and you have two fantastic sci-fi movies representing orbs in our solar system. We're also giving away five copies of this, so be sure to comment to be entered in the contest. Sony may (sadly) not be backing this movie for an Oscar, but you'll love it. Read on after the break for the rest of our recommendations, and let us know what you're watching!

The conclusion to Shepard's quest to clean up the air supply. Watch out for the flame-throwers!

Wow, this is a fantastically cool idea. I think the ESRB is doing a great job, but they could always use some help. They might want to contact designer Cristina Gomez about her senior thesis, which just so happens to be a campaign to help parents better understand game ratings, as well as [...]

[Image credit: Game Informer] Halo: Reach isn't the only story that you'll find in next month's Game Informer -- the magazine's blog has also revealed that the developer known for the past two years as 2K Boston will be returning to its roots as Irrational Games. The change isn't unexpected, as we've seen hints of the old identity coming back to the spotlight for a while. But apparently the company is going full force with the "renewed commitment" to the legacy: it'll be kicking off a new website soon (in about three days and 16 hours as of this writing, according to the countdown now running on IrrationalGames.com) that will contain lots of community features and information about Irrational's past -- including fan favorites like System Shock 2 and Freedom Force, in addition to 2K Boston's BioShock and future titles. Meanwhile, the company has a new logo -- spiffy! -- and the next Game Informer will have more information about the studios' history and why it made the choice to turn back the clock on its identity. We look forward to reading all about it.

“Most snarky critics had their minds set before ever seeing/playing the game. I’m proud of what we created; it’s innovative, responsive & fun.

This is the third time I’ve heard mumblings of this throughout the week, this time with photo evidence! I don’t know what’s going on, but the supposedly out-of-print Endless Ocean is popping up at select Walmart locations for $20. Either Walmart found a stash they lost, or Nintendo is pumping a few more [...]

Remember when Irrational Games changed their name to 2K Boston? I sure do…what a stupid name change. Well now you can forget the boring name, as 2K Boston has gotten a new name…Irrational Games. Okay, so it’s not so new, but it certainly was irrational to go from the old to a [...]
