AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--THQ Wireless Inc., a subsidiary of THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI), today announced that NFL Gridiron is scheduled to be available for wireless download this September, in conjunction with the commencement of the 2007 NFL season. Featuring all 32 NFL teams, NFL Gridiron will allow football fans around the nation to enjoy adrenaline-charged NFL action anywhere, anytime.
NFL Gridiron's unique 8-on-8 format is designed to allow for a streamlined pick up and play experience. Featuring the hottest names in the NFL, including Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, LaDainian Tomlinson, Brian Urlacher, Reggie Bush, and Matt Leinart, players will control multiple positions including quarterback, running back, kicker and wide receiver with the use of intuitive one press sticky keys. In addition, the easy-to-use playbook will allow players to incorporate classic offensive and defensive plays - from shotgun spreads to blitz packages.
