Pocket Gamer: Madden NFL 09 Review

Considering the general state of fitness an American footballer has to maintain in order to do his job properly, it's somewhat ironic that EA should have picked someone as portly as John Madden to promote its long-running line of gridiron video games.

The stocky commentator has presided over the lucrative franchise for two glorious decades and has witnessed the games that bear his name shift millions upon millions of copies. Not bad going for someone who looks like they'd struggle to catch a bus, let alone a ludicrously optimistic 'Hail Mary' pass.
