Mildly interesting news while we continue to wait for the latest news on Madden 09 -- particularly who will adorn this year’s cover and surely subvert their team’s season. According to the first installment of “Madden Mondays” on the Gamestop.com blog, gamers will be able to control their own touchdown celebrations:↵↵⇥Not only will unique players have unique celebrations, but different “Hot Spots” in the end zone will feature different celebrations, as well, like dunking over the goal post or hot-shotting in the corner of the end zone. Specific stadiums will even feature their own local celebrations. Can you say, “Lambeau Leap?” We’ve also been told that an extra “hidden” control will let you steal an opponent’s celebration so you can really rub it in.
