August 14th is the release date for the newest edition of the perennial Madden franchise. I don't own an XBox 360 or a PS3 but I do enjoy playing Madden when I get the chance. From the look of it, this year's edition (gang tackling included!) should be the next generation of football gaming.

Check out IGN.com's Madden Blog for some cool screen shots and insider notes on various features of the game.
