Endeavour Series 8 Promises 1971 Football Glitz, an IRA Threat and Morse Battling Inner Demons

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Morse’s plan to transfer to another force has either been scrapped or put on the back burner in series eight, which finds the detective in Oxford and the Castle Gate team tackling “the most challenging of cases so far,” according to the official press release. The three-part new series picks up at the start of 1971, just after series seven’s dramatic conclusion which saw Morse’s latest doomed lover take a bullet for him and die in his arms. He certainly can pick ‘em. The loss of the scheming Violetta Talenti, and the bad blood between Morse and Thursday have taken…

Madden 21’s The Yard Isn’t NFL Blitz But It’s Still Important for Arcade Football

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Madden franchise and I go way back. I poured a lot of fifth-grade free time into Madden NFL 97 for the Super NES, and I can still hear that edition’s chiptune menu music in my head when I think about the series. But, I have to be honest. For all the Madden games I’ve owned over the years — give or take 15, by my count — I’d trade them all for a high-quality arcade-style football experience.  Quality is highly subjective when we’re talking about a video game. For you, quality arcade football might be EA Sports BIG’s NFL…
