Midway Games Inc., a leading interactive entertainment industry publisher and developer, today announced that it has shipped Blitz: The League for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Bill Romanowski, a 4–time Super Bowl champion and arguably one of the most feared linebackers to play the game, joins Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor as co–cover athlete of Blitz: The League for the Xbox 360 which delivers a host of new features, including new cities, All–Star teams, and achievement points.
"
With over a million games sold on current generation systems, Blitz: The League proved to the industry that fans desire an alternative in the licensor censored, watered–down sports genre," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "
We're excited to now offer that alternative title on the Xbox 360, complete with the award–winning quality of gameplay and entertainment Blitz: The League is recognized as having."
