FirstCuts: Madden Music To Hit Rock Band ; NCAA Football 09 Review On Tuesday

Remember when I tried to explain to you that this whole Madden soundtrack thing was big business? Get ready for some real corporate synergy from EA.↵↵According to Reuters (via Kotaku), Rock Band will feature Madden tracks in bunches, over the course of several weeks.↵

↵

↵The track list is pretty uninspiring, and if this takes the place of regular weekly downloads for Rock Band, then I say boo! (Why EA? Why when we were just starting to get along did you have to do this.) Then again, they just announced Rock Band 2 will ship with 84 tracks and have another 20 available as free downloadable content this fall.↵

↵↵I tell you that EA story so I can also tell you this one: Our full review/survival guide for NCAA Football 09 is coming tomorrow morning.↵

↵

↵↵

↵↵The game made its arrival one week ago, and there has been ample time to poke around in the new features. Before you head to the store or fire up the band for the first time, stop by so you know what to expect. I’d show you more now, but if I did, I’d have to kill you, and EA would come and kill me.↵
