GamePro: Backbreaker Preview

Backbreaker, for now, rides on the strength of its gimmick. But it's an admittedly good gimmick: recently released trailer, showed a lone runner dashing upfield past a horde of enemy defenders. It remains to be seen, too, if Backbreaker will live up to its name in terms of injuries. But it's hoped the game will include them-as well as the football staples.

It's not a gimmick, unless it's only applied to effects of tackinling.

I was under the impression people dived with Euphoria powering them, that will make it game-centric.

I have to admit the tackle demonstrations have been awesome so far, but until I see some actual gameplay video and not glorified tech demos, I refuse to be excited for this game.

I mean, what good is Euphoria if the game plays like NFL Fever?

4 Sports Game Franchises That Should Be Dissolved

There are many sports franchises that are fantastic editions to the world of gaming, deserving both as an edition to their respective gaming field and to video gaming at large. Other franchises, however, have seen their time. It’s time for these franchises to go the way of the dinosaur before they get even worse than they already are.

Should be dissolved too. The yearly additions are essentially the same except for rosters, schedules, and new stadiums.

I would go as far as to say that most of these games are actually worse than the previous iteration.
