Feb 2, 2008. The great Superbowl party with your 360.

There's alot of time before the game for you to do stuff and have fun. Don't sit there and watch those boring stories about players' lives and how they now have money and hot wives. Spend the time with your 360 and friends instead.

And it all begins with Madden 08, the only game with the updated roster. Play the game that's probably going to be better than the real game because we all know most Superbowl games stink.

If Madden is a little too complex for you to enjoy as a party game, you can rent NFL Tour. It's very easy to play and has a turbo button to keep things arcadey, but the game is only seven on seven.

Then there's the Superbowl betting. A bet between friends keeps the Superbowl interesting. You can also bet on Madden or NFL Tour if you got the skills to beat your friends. Remember to keep it little, don't let everybody leave with all your money.

If you don't have the skills at Madden, you can get them by giving your buddies the bad controller with the buttons that don't work half the time. Great way to increase the odds in your favor.

For a Superbowl party, we recommend Buffalo wings. They taste great and don't fill you up for the game. You can buy them at your local supermaket in three flavors. If you got time and money, some riblets work great too. Order them at your favorite BBQ joint for takeout, but it'll be a busy day for rib places so order early.

We know sticky wings and your 360 don't go together, that's why we recommend just passing out chips while you're playing the 360. Don't bring out the sticky food until the game starts so your 360 is safe from sticky stains.

There's only one beer we drink for Superbowl games, and that's Budweiser. Yeah, it's the redneck beer. But it's also less filling than most other beers, which is perfect to wash down the huge amounts of snack foods. And since it has more water than other beers, it'll keep the party from turning into a drunken brawl over which cheerleader is hotter.
