Football returns to Wii with single-player improvements
Last year's Madden NFL 10 for Wii was one of the series' best multiplayer entries yet, with the Showdown and Huddle-Up modes bringing casual gamers into the gridiron action quickly. Its single-player elements, sadly, were not quite so well-developed, but for this year's instalment EA is promising a far improved Franchise mode that it's calling its "deepest single-player experience to date".

Japanese magazine CoroCoro has obliged by revealing details and images of six brand new monsters and a few new areas too.

Plus it's codenamed EDEN. Come on Mr Mizuguchi, make it happen. This could potentially be more exciting than any Nintendo reveal.

Rumours that Tetsuya Mizuguchi is to show off a Rez sequel are very, very exciting. "Return to SYNAESTHESIA" indeed!
