2005's Blitz: The League was a marriage of survival. Thanks to EA's exclusivity deal with the NFL, franchises like NFL Blitz faced extinction. ESPN's 2003 TV show "Playmakers," which broached controversial subject matter taken straight from the locker rooms of football stadiums across America, lasted only a handful of episodes before it was yanked (some say at the behest of the NFL). Both fused to create a totally in-your-face football experience that was decidedly outrageous fun. Midway quietly announced a sequel a few months back at its media day, but GameSpy got their first look at Blitz: The League II with producer Bill Fox last week.
Spiffy:
More arcade-style football fun combined with more extreme storylines and gory presentation flourishes.
Iffy:
It's not very hard to tell if you're the target audience for this game or not; will AI improve over last Blitz?
XbigyGames writes: Everyone knows that attacking a man’s groin (unless paid to do so) is a cardinal sin and should never be done, even in a fight. 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!
