For the next entry to the franchise, EA Sports is doing things a little bit differently, offering up a version of the series via Xbox LIVE Arcade with Madden NFL Arcade. As you can surmise from the title, this entry to the series is much less sim-heavy than it's disc-based predecessors, instead opting for quick and accessible matches instead of full simulations of games, Madden NFL Arcade is a title that seems to be geared towards football fans looking for good times in short bursts."

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.

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.
