Humongous announced today that Tom Brady, New England
Patriots all-star quarterback and two-time Super Bowl MVP, will be the cover athlete
for Backyard Football '08, the newest iteration of the best-selling kid's football
game franchise. Brady was overwhelmingly voted "favorite NFL player" in a poll of
Backyard Sports fans conducted late last year on backyardsports.com.
Backyard Football combines wild and whacky sports scenarios with realistic plays
and strategies to give young fans a "kidified" football gaming experience. Featuring
top NFL pros as kids (including Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Vince Young, Brian Urlacher,
and others), Backyard Football lets young fans choose the style, location, pace,
and strategy of the game. And multiple levels makes this game easy enough for rookies
with mega challenging levels for seasoned veterans.
Rated "E" (everyone) by ESRB, Backyard Football '08 will be available in September
on PlayStation 2, Windows PC, Nintendo DS and Nintendo
Wii.
