Electronic Arts has confirmed that Madden NFL 09 will be heading to stores in North America on August 12 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and 3, the Sony PSP, the Nintendo Wii and DS, in both regular and special collector's edition.

The Madden NFL 09 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition will feature full versions of both Madden NFL 09 and the all-new NFL Head Coach 09. Also included will be exclusive classic Madden NFL gameplay, and an extensive library of bonus video content.

Madden NFL 09 will feature immersive gameplay, online offerings and the most comprehensive feature depth in the history of the franchise, while NFL Head Coach 09 has been reinvented to provide a unique new NFL experience by allowing fans to be in total control of their favorite franchises.

The two games offer unique experiences and then can even interact with one another with gamers being able to import their user-designed plays from NFL Head Coach 09 and put them into Madden NFL 09 to create customized playbooks for complete control on the field.

If NHL 2k9 were the only hockey game on the market it�d be an easy buy for any fan of the hottest game on ice. But even with exemplary competition on the shelf, this game still more than holds its own.
