Why Robin Makes Batman Better Finish off the “Blitz Gauntlet” mode in the recently released NFL Blitz for PS3 and Xbox 360 and you’ll unlock a team full of zombies. And the logo on their jersey isn’t that of the National Football League, but of another league, one from a future of decaying flesh and dismembered bodies.
A walk-on running back; a dad who couldn’t tell his kids what he did; a fat kid who started going to the gym and never stopped. A guy who came to know his sport’s greatest venue in ways some champions never will. The top man at sports video gaming’s dominant publisher, and a college student who considers himself a “virtual athlete,” watching every out from his wheelchair.
Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was voted the “cover star” for January’s reboot of NFL Blitz. Of course, it’s a downloadable title, so this game actually has no physical cover. So that mean Rice won’t actually tear his ACL in the playoffs after the game releases on PSN and Xbox Live, right?
Though not a retail release, the January reboot of NFL Blitz will still have a cover star, following a fan-voted campaign taking place during the Spike Video Game Awards next weekend.
When NFL Blitz was announced in October, I asked the game’s producer, Dave Ross, what kind of hitting action the game would feature, given the league’s increased sensitivity to violence and head injuries since the last version of the game was released in 2003. Ross said at the time they were still working through approvals with the league, but promised it’d still “contain over-the-top, fast arcade action with big hits and guys catching on fire.”
A year after appearing in NBA Jam (with Vice President Biden, and eight other political figures of both parties), President Obama will not cameo in January’s NFL Blitz, one of the game’s designers said recently.
