Review: NFL Blitz (PSN)

Review: NFL Blitz (PSN)

Firstly, it must be admitted that we don’t live in as awesome an era as we did in the late 90s, in regards to “extreme content.” Entertainment today must be politically correct, so everything goes through the PR department now. Things were different in the late 90s. In 1998, the NFL was...
