Madden NFL Video Games
In addition to his real-world exploits, Madden lends his voice, personality and name to the Madden NFL series of football video games, which has been around since 1988, published by Electronic Arts. The games, the most recent being Madden NFL 13, have consistently been a best seller so much so that they have even spawned TV shows where people compete playing the video games. Despite Madden's retirement as a broadcaster in 2009, he still continues to lend his name, as well as provide creative input, for the game.
