You call yourself a man? REAL men play hardcore, non-licensed football games, which you’ll be doing soon enough, girlie-man, as Blitz: The League has reached gold status today. With its intense story mode, hard-hitting on-field action, uber customization, multiplayer and online play, this one’s sure to put Madden in its place… we hope.

October 17’s the date to be looking out for (two weeks later than expected, sadly), so keep them eyes peeled! We’ll let you know once it’s out anyway, but just because we love you.
