Backbreaker Vengeance hitting XBLA on June 29

Recommended Videos

It’s a sports game I’m actually kind of excited about! Backbreaker Vengeance is hitting Xbox Live Arcade on June 29!

I’d reluctantly previewed the game a few weeks back, and was shocked at how much fun I had. Based more on fast reflexes and an arcade-style scoring mechanic than any kind of sports rules, I had a blast with with Vengeance‘s “Tackle Alley” mode. Chad, who faints when someone mentions football, also fell in love with the game. What trickery is this!?

The game is also expected to hit PlayStation Network “later this summer.” I can’t say how the final product will turn out, but even if you don’t like sports, I’d say check out the demo. You might be surprised.
