GamePlayBook writes: "While we're appreciative of how far the Madden NFL franchise has come over the years, there's still something inside of us yearning for a quick, vicious game of football. The last time we got a game along those lines was back when Midway produced its NFL Blitz series, with its over-the-top violence (we're talking WWE level here) and wild gameplay. Well, EA Sports may never reach that level of play (especially with the strictness of the NFL nowadays – it yanked its license from Blitz for a reason), but Madden NFL Arcade for Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network is the next best thing."
Mike Deneen from Yet Another Gaming Show gets a chance to interview David Ross (Producer) and Yuri Bialoskursky (Designer), both from the EA NFL Blitz development team.
This week marks the official start of the holiday shopping season, with plenty of stores having sales. Well, Microsoft wants to save you money on the biggest games by launching deals of its own.

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. From that point on, it’s all about hot wings, lazy Sundays, Monday Night Football and of course, lots of video games. Madden’s the big dog on the block, but you can also score your pigskin fix online with the following sports games.
