Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Publisher 505 Games and NaturalMotion (creators of the game animation engine, Euphoria) have officially announced that their upcoming physics-based American football title, Backbreaker, is coming to the Xbox 360 in Autumn next year.

Backbreaker redefines gameplay in the football video game genre with a stunning on-field camera view, accessible controls and a relentless onslaught of hard-hitting tackles. With NaturalMotion’s acclaimed euphoria motion synthesis engine featuring in a sports title for the very first time, Backbreaker offers intense gameplay, dazzling graphics and an endless variety of unique football moments. From the moment players step onto the gridiron, Backbreaker is in a class of its own.

"Backbreaker is about being on the field and in the action", said Torsten Reil, CEO of NaturalMotion. "Through the use of euphoria, we are able to create an experience that is truly interactive and different every time."

It won't be an easy task for a newcomer like Backbreaker, with EA Sports' long running Madden franchise controlling most of the field, but at least there's some more competition and choice for fans of the genre.

Now, if someone could just explain the damn rules to me please?
