Because EA and their Madden franchise were anointed as the “exclusive” makers of NFL video games, developers have been looking for a way around it.

Enter All-Pro Football 2K8 from 2K Sports, a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive, most famous for Grand Theft Auto.

• LEGENDS – Over 240 NFL legends make their return to the gridiron, including Hall of Famers such as Johnny Unitas, Dick Butkus, Joe Montana, Mike Singletary, Reggie White, Walter Payton and “the Juice” himself — O.J. Simpson.
• SIGNATURE STYLE – Legends have their own signature moves in the game – Barry’s spin, Walter’s scissors kick, Jerry’s one-handed grab — they’re all there.

The game will be out later this year on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 and will cost $59.95.
