There have been years like that, and as we always say in these reviews, it’s not always a bad idea to stagger your sports game purchases by a few years. That said, after playing a ton of NHL 26 over the past…

There was a brand new State of Play today and it featured 007 First Light. Take a look at the footage and then our thoughts on this new James Bond game. 007 First Light comes out March 27th, 2026.
