New BLITZ game

[Sev in Ottawa]

In case you haven't seen the commercials featuring Lawrence Taylor, Midway has a new game called BLITZ the League.  It's a "hardcore" football game featuring bone breaking hits, cortezone shots for injured players, partying and office politics.  No word yet on coke snorting at half-time or incoherant press conferences.

Here's a link with screenshots, etc: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/sports/blitztheleague/index.html

BTW, I saw one of those videos linked on that site (I think its the E3 one) where they show the guys playing the game.  The best part is near the end where they snap the QB's leg in half.  They have this slow-mo zoom effect so you can see the SNNNNAAAPP.  Then the QB comes out and you are given the option:

1) Take him out
2) Give him the needle

Hilarious.  They choose the needle, and the QB is back 2 plays later.
