The Away Team 04: The FootballCast

The Spawn Kill sports team is back for yet another episode of The Away Team. As always Gabe (Lethalwraith) and I (Eric) will be discussing the games we’ve been playing which includes Halo Reach, ModNation Racers for the PSP, God of War 3 and some Lucha Libre. We then tell you everything we know about Madden 11 and prepare the New Orleans fans for a rough year. Finally for our main topic we discuss sports games that don’t have an official license. With the upcoming game Backbreaker and the ever growing Quick Hit Football browser game companies seem to be willing to make sports games without the official license. We talk about whether some of these games can compete with a fully licensed product like a Pro Evolution Soccer can and what, if any, is a benefit of not having a license. Check it out to see what we think and let us know what you think in the comments.
