Ah... All I can say right now is you just might want to pick up Madden NFL 10....That's all I can say right now. This is huge! Catch you soon with the review!  (EA surprised us on this one!) Check HERE and HERE!! OH, and what do I think of it? Well I'll tell you this coming week. Meantime I'm there! To coin a phrase 'What can I tell you?" This game is the best EA football game to date! Madden has finally gotten on the right track! Now to say it's the best sports game ever? That's a stretch to say the least but as far as this franchise has gone we are looking at a game that is coming into it's own, finally! The game itself has a finished feel to it this year. The EA folks worked it over and over, you can tell. The gameplay, graphics, presentation and the overall control of the game are great. There are some flaws but it's really nit-picking. The players still bounce around a bit and once in a while after a tackle the players slide, yes, slide over the field. (put the speed at normal and you got it down) The sound is quite a bit like last year's game, not the best, but it does the job, although it seems a bit better. And of course Madden is there to help you pick calls for the next play if you like. Now the tackles are great! I thought it was going to be a gimmick but it is alot more realistic than in the past. When 5 to 8 defence guys get together and bring you down you think of the real thing. It's very cool to say the least. And it's not over done like I thought it was going to be. Now going online is cool but I haven't been online enough to give a good overview. So next week I'll continue my review. But for now you shouldn't overlook Madden '10  because it has alot going for it and if you like the NFL as much as I do, well, it's the only game in town! So enjoy and at least give it a rent, but I'm telling you you'll most likely end up buying it... see ya next time! CFizz

 Yes it is great! NCAA Football is the collage football game to get. If you have been holding back all these years well the wait is over. I don't know how it could get any better than this other than tweaking the camera from time to time, this is the football game to have. I've been comparing it to most of the past NCAA games and this is the winner hands down. It just plays better and it has a better presentation than the others. And it's fun! WoW, an EA football game that's fun! And with all the extra game modes you get with this game it's like playing more than one game. Worth the money? Oh yeah! I went out and rented it and now I must have this game. I'll wait 'til it comes down on price a little and grab it. Can you say hello eBay! So again if you've been delaying or waiting for the right football game get this one! HERE And I'll see you online! Yep the 'ol cousinfizz is out there... look me up sometime! cya... Fizzzz 

The 2 Madden Football demos are on XBox 360 starting today July 23rd. Now this is confusing because if you go to several different websites you'll find out that they have them switched around and you won't know where to go to get the demo you want. There are 2 different demos as I've stated but both are a 1gig download. We'll start with the Gamestop demo. You can only get it through them, they give you a code for XBox Live. The teams are Cardinals VS Steelers in a SuperBowl rematch and the quarters are 5 minutes. This is probably the best demo but it comes with a $5 price and a hold on the game when it comes in. It plays pretty well and it gives you a good feel for the game itself. There is no commentating at all just the game and crowd with a ref coming in from time to time to tell you what the penalties are... (Is it me or does EA hate the Steelers? Just try and win with them.)

The other demo is the Cowboy VS Giants demo in NY. You can only get this on XBox Live. (You have to have a Gold Membership, ouch!) It has no commentating, etc, but the quarters are only 1 minute long, ouch again! (This was confusing as well because if you just watch the demo the quarters are 2 minutes. Thus it had been reported that the quarters were 2 minutes long in playing time.) The teams are playing in a snow storm and it plays ok but it has some issues too. There seems to be some slowdown in this one and you can't really get a good feel for the game because it's so short on time. Oh well... I've played them both and they are worth trying but I'm sure I'll be playing the GameStop demo the most! There you are, have fun because yes they are fun at least while it lasts for what it's worth! I'm sure the game will be better, we can hope anyway...   ALSO, just in, EA is in HOT water again! Check it HERE

I'm here this afternoon sitting back and taking in a demo that EA has put out for Madden 10' and I'm just totally in wonder! The wonder is WHY can't EA get it right?? For the life of me you would think these guys would get it for once but NO! Why oh why can't they do something better than ESPN 2K5?? I mean they have the wherewithall, the so-called tallent, the resources and they have ALL year on top of that! I think anyway, but every year just seems to be a redo of the previous year. This is 09' just looking a bit better and there's gang tackling once in a while. And oh boy now we have co-op play... what? 2K had that years ago on the Dreamcast for crying out loud! Well here's the link so you can see for yourself but remember, you've been warned! Oh well maybe next year... yeah right! Fizzz

HEY GUYS want to help support CousinFizz's site so I can improve the site and put more time into it? Go over HERE and purchase UNLIMITED phone APPS! And get your friends to do the same! These are really good 'apps' too... Or click on the link (top right) above where it says 'Get Phone APPS' Thanks for all your support. I do want to improve the site but work is driving me away from what I want to do here and a bit of support will allow me to have more free time to work on the info page. Thanks again! (and btw, Madden 10 review is near, see ya soon) Should I upgrade to THIS??

It's back and even sold out.. The Dreamcast of all things. I still have mine though. Check it out HERE. And in other news you can fix your XBox 360 using this guide on YouTube... The best one I've seen. HERE. (starting at the end, go figure)

After 5 XBox 360's I've gotten my hands on a 360 Jasper! And I'm glad I have. The system you'll notice right away is that it's quiet! And hopefully for the long haul it will hold up. The 3RROD problem hopefully is a thing of the past. It's in the new Arcade package and comes with a game and an Arcade Disc as well as having HDMI and a wireless controller and 256k of memory onboard... So Xbox 360 fans (like me) Unite! Hopefully we can game for a good long time! Check to see the difference HERE. And what to look for when it comes to the system package HERE. I've seen the Arcade package as low as $169 these past few days so look around! See you later and happy gaming everyone! Fizz  

Also, I've gone ahead and bought a 'Magic Jack'... For those of you out there that don't know what that is, it's just Voice Over your IP or internet. Vonage gets something like $25 for it a month but, all I spent was $55 and that includes an $11, 2 year warranty from 'Radio Shack' where if you have any problems whatsover they will give you another Jack on the spot no questions asked. And the other, it includes the fist years service of $20. Sweet deal. The problems are varied as well. Mine was dead when I got it and I exchanged it no problem. Then the new one wouldn't recieve or make calls. The problem after trying different things was you can't leave it in the computer while rebooting. After you reboot then reinstall it and it comes right up and 'Ready to Use' as long as you turn OFF your Firewall. Gotta make sure you do that or the person calling you, you won't hear. They will hear you but, you won't hear them. Also, you have to use their area code and number each time you call someone. You must remember that. Also, make sure you get the upgrade from the 'Fix' Tab just above the SEND button or it may not work at all. BUT for what it is and for what it does and for what it costs, it's great! Works like a charm and you can stay on as long as you like! And the sound is fine...

One thing before getting one though. You might NOT want to buy one from the company itself because their customer service is lacking to say the least! (Hello Radio Shack) You'll get a number in any area code that you like and you're off and running. Now you know...

Cool offer from Microsoft HERE at least while it lasts that is... 60gig HDD upgrade and more!

 It's time for Street Fighter 4!!!!!!!!!! HERE and HERE! and HERE!! Coming the 17th and 18th of Feb 09' (this month, can't wait!) ARE YOU READY!?? I've been ready! BRING IT!!

You were wondering where I was? I was offline for a while tring to get things worked out with my internet provider and couldn't get it to work out at all... way to go Verizon! Another reason why I think that Verizon is the worst ever! There just isn't any customer service whatsoever. To bad too because they do have a good HD service, they won't however tell you you need to rewire your house to get the best quality for what you need. In my case Dish Network came out to the house and found out that I had R-9 cable. Now this technology is over 15 years old and all I was having was problem after problem. (I wonder why? hmm)   To say the least with the Dish Network setup now I have no problems at all. Hey Verizon, why sell a Ferrari without the tires? I don't understand that logic at all! I was never given an option with them and found out later they wanted $59 a TV for the recable. But with the Dish Network it was FREE... So now I'm on Road Runner and Dish and am quite happy. So here we go I got some goodies for you.

Check this out but watch and read! http://www.swoopo.com now it looks good but check out this site... http://technologizer.com it doesn't seem to be a scam BUT it does in the long run unless you're one of the lucky ones.... I'll have more later gotta run! cya...

Oh BTW... Check out the 'Legal Beagle' link above!
