IGN writes: "Most football game fans love leaping into a match and proving their skills against the computer or another player online, but the biggest difficulty can come with finding the time to play a full game. Even setting games to the shortest time frame available, matches can easily take a half hour or more to complete, which means carving out some time in your schedule. But what if you were able to get a quick fix of football with a little arcade styled action without the time commitment? EA Sports is hoping to provide you with exactly this kind of experience with Madden NFL Arcade, a fast paced five on five football game with depth for casual and hardcore fans alike. Recently, I got the chance to get hands-on time with the upcoming downloadable game, and had fun scoring quick touchdowns on the ground and in the air."

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.
