Gamer's Temple: "Madden's monopolistic grab of the NFL license was a blessing in a disguise for the NFL Blitz franchise, even though many would have thought that it would have been Blitz's death knell. Blitz may have lost the 'NFL' from its title, but it gained the freedom to emphasize whatever aspects of the sport it wanted to without the watchful eye of the NFL looking over its shoulder. Bone crunching tackles, gruesome injuries, excessive taunting and celebrating, expletives, backroom deals, ... Blitz: The League II (BTL2) revels in everything the NFL censors would squash without hesitation.
Central to BTL2 is its campaign/career mode. You begin the mode as a multisport phenom known by the nickname 'Franchise'. Your sport of choice is football, but you'll sign with the league only if you can play for your hometown team. In this case, your home town can be anywhere you want it to be; it's just a way to segue into the game's team creation tools. The team creator is pretty and lets you choose your team name and select its logo from a large library of available logos, most of which are actually really cool. You can also select up to three team colors and apply them as you wish to a variety of mix and match helmet and uniform styles. As for Mr. Franchise, you select his positions (he plays both sides of the ball, of course) and starting stats by selecting answers to a series of ten questions asked by reports at the press conference announcing your signing with The League. Once you're on the field you'll be able to control any player, though, so your selection of a position won't keep you out of the action on half of the plays like in some other games in which you take on the role of a single player."

One swift blow to a man’s gonads can drop him to the floor. Even the biggest and burly men have this weak point. Duke Nukem may claim that he has “balls of steel”, but I bet a jab to his junk would make him cry like a 12 year old girl.
On this page you can find a list of the top ball-busting moves in video games. These range from the good, the bad to the downright weird. Grab a pillow, protect yourself and enjoy reading.
I knew Johnny Cage would be first...I remember I spammed that move so much in my childhood it pissed off my friend so bad...ahhh memories...
With the sickle attack in Manhunt, he'd swing the sickle round the wrong way! Always thought that looked odd.
We are taking a listener poll. In the studio upgrade (coming soon!) should we or should we not fix the apparent gas leak? Leave your answers below.
Another week, another 90 minutes of video-game based rambling, in-jokes, and various gypsy curses. To say that this is an organized show is like saying Mike is funny. Which is no. Really not funny. We do manage to squeeze in a review of GameDevStory, talk about various legal stupidities, and even discuss the potential of a Missle Command movie.
This week’s art is from the often brilliant and always insane Axe Cop.
Yet Another Gaming Show is now available on Stitcher, the free podcast radio app for your better smart phones. Much like GameDevStory, except Stitcher knows that a Ninja Adventure game would be genius.

Everybody loves getting trophies and achievements. Some of us like to be a little naughty while doing so. These five are some of the most obscene in gaming, and they couldn't be more fun to unlock.
Good god, that woman on the tracks just evaporates. That is one of the most gruesome kills I've seen!
God, that entire game was full of disgusting injuries. I just really didn't expect a scrotum rupture to be one. That caught me offguard the first time it happened.
Yeah, that is pretty gross. I was surprised they made it so graphic. The guy could just grab his crotch and scream, but no, they had to show innards and outards and liquids and blech!
