The 20 year old Madden series is known for its realistic simulation style NFL football, TV broadcast presentation, and the musings from now-retired 'tough actin' Tinactin pitchman John Madden's about things like "the team with the most points usually wins the game." EA Tiburon has decided to forgo those staples in favor of an arcadey pick-up-and-play approach with this upcoming downloadable release, aptly titled Madden NFL Arcade. While not the first foray into the arcade football space for Tiburon (they've got NFL Street and NFL Tour under their belts), it is the first to use the mighty Madden name.

Baseball’s great, but it has nothing on football. It’s been more than six months since the Saints won the Super Bowl, and ever since that moment, we’ve dreamed about the start of the 2010 NFL season. It’s taken a while, but this Thursday, we’ll finally get to watch the gladiators of the gridiron smash the hell out of each other when the Vikings play those Saints in a rematch of the NFC Championship.

Madden’s the big dog on the block, but you can also score your pigskin fix online with the following sports games.
