We have our reporters and community keeping an eye on Madden 10 for you, and we'll keep you up to date with the latest developments as they happen.

Rather than the confusing and unworkably small swirl of helmet and grass that the knowledge of its existence conjured up in my mind, Madden NFL 10 on the iPod Touch/iPhone is, in reality, a well conceived and nicely implemented game. Not only does it more than cope with the limitations of the platform, partly by building on the Wii version's intuitive controls and clever design, but it also sports one feature that could revolutionize the franchise. I have a sneaky suspicion that Madden NFL 10 might just hold the key to succeeding where NFL Europa and the London Monarchs have failed, and pave the way for American football (gaming) to be as popular in the rest of the world as it is on home soil.

I'll be honest, when I first heard that Madden NFL 10 was coming to the App Store, I was fairly bemused. How would this most complex and crowded of sports work on an iPod?

I even had a favourite team back in those days as I recorded highlights of the Atlanta Falcons on my hand-me-down Betamax videoplayer. Such was my fascination with this bizarre game that I managed to obtain a PC version of Joe Montana Football and taught myself all about the rules of the game.
