They're not taking the NFL to court because it's not just about the NFL license. It's that EA owns exclusive licensing to every major licensed American football product. If a gamer wants to play a licensed football game, they have to go through EA, and that's where the problem lies.

I often think about the "Condemned" games and how they portrayed the characters. In part one, the devs created Ethan and Rosa as two people that were not glamorized in either their appearance or demeanor, and they found themselves dealing with an extraordinary situation. Because they weren't superhuman hotties, they had a personality and were relatable characters which helped the immersion into the game. Then in part two, the devs sexed both of them up and gave them more stereotypical behavior, which wasn't at all necessary, and gave the impression that they didn't care so much about developing characters as they did pandering.

The rap played over the end credits of COD4 was absolutely painful to listen to. Good game, but gaaahh...that song...

I will say that Crue Ball was the most fun video-game pinball title I've ever played, despite the pasted-in throwaway references to Motley Crue.
