EA unleashed seven new screenshots from the next installment in their (exclusive) NFL football video game franchise, Madden 08, and quite frankly, it looks fantastic- if it’s real-time, and I don’t think it is. Click the first image to see the gallery.

Peter Moore leaving Microsoft
In the last hour, Peter Moore filed his resignation with Microsoft. He will no longer be the head of Microsoft’s Xbox team. He is now going to become president of EA Sports in California where the rest of his family lives. According to Microsoft, Don Mattrick will become the new head of the Xbox team and the Games for Windows branch of Microsoft.
It’s ironic he is being replaced by Don Mattrick, who held many higher up jobs in EA until he resigned in February 2007. It’s almost like a stalemate.

EA Reveals Madden NFL 08 soundtrack
EA Tiburon (the EA studio in Florida), has just released a list of songs to be featured in the newest Madden NFL game that releases this August. This year’s game will be the series 18th game. A random fact about the series is that it has sold 60 million copies, which nets around $2 billion dollars for EA Tiburon Studios. The game is supposed to feature 27 songs, yet EA only gave us 15 songs in the list. Nice counting EA.
