New Video Game Features Black College Football

Legendary football coach John Madden has given up his position as an announcer for National Football League telecasts but his name continues to adorn the nation's top-selling video game. Madden NFL 10 is the latest installment of a 21-year success story that has sold more than 75 million units and produced revenues of more than $2 billion.

Now Nerjyzed Entertainment is hoping to cash in on this video football game craze with its Black College Football Experience for the Xbox 360 game system. The video game features competitive football games between teams from black colleges and universities and interactive halftime shows that feature battles of the marching bands. The game also includes a Legacy Museum where users can learn the history of black college football and its legendary players.
