The new Brett Favre jersey is now on sale at the Jets Shop.  The replica jersey which should be a very popular one sells for $80.00.  While Brett Favre is still featured on the cover on Madden 09 in his Packers jersey, I’m sure the first roster update will have him with the Jets.  While Favre being traded to the Jets may just seem like the typical “over the hill” QB trying to get in one last season, I think the trade may have a heavy impact on this season and possibly the next.  If the Jets perform poorly this season, the draft choice they sent to the Packers now becomes more valuable.  The Jets do have some quality receivers with Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery, meaning that Favre should be able to jump right in and stretch the field with these guys as long as they all stay healthy.  Basically, the New York Jets just went from a mediocre team behind Clemens or Pennington to a playoff potential with Favre.  I assume either Clemens or Pennington will be traded soon.  If the New York Jets could somehow beat the New England Patriots at least once this season, they will be in serious business. While some may think the Packers are doomed, that’s probably not the case.  They will have a really strong defense this season.  If Rodgers can step up and play to his potential, they might make the playoffs as well…

What the hell is ‘Cheetah Girls: Passport to Stardom’?.  I’m sure anyone reading this article will probably wonder the same thing.  Don’t worry.  I asked myself the exact same thing when I heard about the new Nintendo DS game hitting shelves tomorrow.  I assumed it had something to do with singing, dancing and fashion accessories and was somehow right.  

The game will include various songs from the Cheetah Girls movies.  Of course I’ve never watched any of them, so really can only go on what I was able to dig up with my Google-fu skills.  According to Wikipedia, the game will include the following features:

Play as Aqua, Chanel, and Dorinda as they dazzle fans worldwide with their music and dance coreography.

Explore 9 different locations as you perform in three international cities- New York, Barcelona and Mumbai!

Use your Nintendo DS stylus to compete in a series of dance-offs to 10 Cheetah Girls hit songs!

Includes new music from The Cheetah Girls: One World Disney Channel Original Movie.

Includes DGamer- the new online community exclusively for Disney gamers.

Unfortunately there really aren’t any other games of note coming out this weekend.  It’s been a rather slow week in games anyway.  The only game of note coming out in the near future is Madden 09 on Tuesday.

It looks like Brett Favre is officially a member of the New York Jets, but the Madden 09 cover will still have him in a Packers uniform. G4 spoke with EA to confirm that the cover will remain the same, despite the trade.  Hopefully Favre will have a productive season with the Jets and avoid the Madden curse, but weird things already seem to be happening concerning this year’s release.

Was Brett Favre’s decision to return influenced by his Madden 2009 Cover Photo?

As you may already heard, Brett Favre is trying to make a comeback.  He currently has not reported to any camp yet, including his former team the Green bay Packers.  The couple of teams that have shown interest are the New York Jets and the Tampa Bay Bucs.  Since April 24th, when Brett was announced the new cover athlete for Madden 09, minor rumblings began about his return.  Could the video game football franchise have possibly influenced his return?  If he DOES play this upcoming year, I say it helped!  We have new screens of Madden 2009, and boy do they look good.  Here are some of the new features you can expect to see this year:

Who doesn’t want to put ‘mallow’ over everything? If you say I don’t I’m calling you crazy, kid. I got a fever, and the only “over-the-counter” prescription is ‘more mallow’. I say fire up your proton packs, be sure not to cross the beams, and shoot.

The full cast is back in Ghostbusters: The Video Game. The game’s storyline is being written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, the writers of the original films. They, along with Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson, will also lend their voices and likenesses to the game. Several supporting cast members, such as William Atherton (Walter Peck), Brian Doyle-Murray (as the new mayor of New York) and Annie Potts (Janine) have also signed on; however, Rick Moranis (Louis Tully) has refused to be a part of the game, explaining his reluctance to work after the death of his wife and being a single parent

Coming to PS3, X360, Wii, PC, DS and PS2.

Release Dates: September 26th for UK, October 28 for US

Playing Blitz: The League on the PS2 was ok.  But now with LT, you can bet someone’s legs are going to break on PS3 and X360.  That’s right, Lawrence Taylor will be appearing in Blitz: The League II playing on the good ole’ New York Nightmare’s.

As the only videogame with a story mode exploring the darker side of pro sports, Blitz: The League II puts the player in complete control as he ventures through brutal on-the-field competition and entertaining off-the-field drama in his quest to reach the League Championship. Peter Egan (Playmakers) returns to pen the most entertaining Blitz storyline yet.

[Editor’s Note: Walking down the aisles of your favorite retailer you’ll see movies that you’ve never heard of. Even if you’d like to know how they fare no one cares enough to review them! That’s where “Movie Watch” comes in…oh, and we’ll try to cover movies on Xbox Live from time to time. Because if you’re gonna spend those confusing Microsoft points on something other than games, it better be worth it, right?]

The movie adaptation of the PlayStation 2 game, Yakuza, will be screening tomorrow at the IFC Center in New York for the Asian Film Festival at 2:10PM. How does it fare?
