Confirming an earlier report, Midway has announced plans to return to the line of scrimmage this fall with its everything-but-the-license take on American football in Blitz: The League II for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. While details remain scant, the company notes that the game's story mode will be penned by ESPN Playmakers writer Peter Egan, while former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor will also lend his chemically-enhanced likeness to the title as well.
Even so, with Electronic Arts' seminal Madden franchise slated to take to the field and bankroll retail shelves this August, how exactly Midway plans to sack EA's tough actin' fat man still remains unclear.

OK, so it's an American Football game, colour me unimpressed.
However it's nice to see a game take an unorthadox spin on sports games with a story. And anyone who takes on EA's got my vote.

Pro Football with story elements. As an English major I am ready for round 2.
As a student, I want Blitz: The Association, a story following the NCAA.
