It's finally here. NCAA Football '07. For almost as long as I can remember, it's been a personal tradition of mine to run down to the video game store first thing in the morning the day this game comes out every year. This year was no different. Although, I was a bit put off by Trojan Reggie Bush being on the cover this year, as I was when Carson Palmer graced the cover of NCAA Football 2003. But I was able to quickly remedy this unfortunate occurrence. Now don't get me wrong. I respect Reggie Bush as the greatest player that college football has seen in some time. But, I do hate the Trojans, so this I just couldn't resist.

Okay, time to call in the reinforcements.

There we go.

Anyway, the game itself looks damned cool. Well, really it's pretty much the same as NCAA Football 2006, except that there is now a much more noticeable home field advantage and some of the gameplay and animation seems a bit smoother than in past years. Still, I don't like how Brad Nessler says, "And here comes the Fighting Irish," when Notre Dame takes the field. I also wish I could set the kickoff times for games within the dynasty mode.
