Backbreaker Trailer Promises Hope For People Who Don’t Like Football

I think it’s pretty clear that I’m not a football games kind of guy. After the SNES they just got too complex for me, and, while I have a pretty good idea of how many people out there love “Madden,” I’m just not one of them… unless it’s “Madden ‘96″ you’re talking about. I say, give me “Tecmo Bowl” any day over what the current console generation offers, there’s just too damn much going on.

But, in the last year, there has been one football game that has gotten my attention, and very valuable playtime – NaturalMotion developed “Backbreaker.”

Released on the iPhone earlier this year, “Backbreaker” stripped out all the extra crap from the games and produced a game that was all about making that run to the end zone. That’s it, just make it through an entire team of defenders and cross the goal line. It’s a great concept, and was fairly well executed, except for the fact that it used the iPhones accelerometer to controller your player. It was okay, just not always perfectly precise.

However, 505 Games recently announced that the game is making the jump from iPhone to Xbox and PS3 in a few weeks, and the game should be that much better with an Xbox controller in my hands. Check out the action in the trailer below and get ready for some football.
