FIFA 16 is out today across the world - although EA Access Members on Xbox One have been playing for almost a week now. With every sports franchise, the question almost always becomes, "How much has this title improved on last years game." Sometimes, the improvements are subtle, making consumers decide whether to actually upgrade last years game over this years improved version.

NHL 15 was a lackluster effort from EA, and everybody knew it. The excuses were many - new hardware to deal with for example - but they were all the same excuses other sports titles could have used, but didn't. NHL 16 had a lot of rectifying to do, not only with the sport it was trying to accurately recreate, but also the fan base who 'went home' disappointed after a night at the rink in NHL 15. So, does NHL 16 fix all the problems present in last years premier hockey title?

Forza Motorsport has been one of the most successful gaming franchises in the last ten years. It all started with the first release in May of 2005 on the original Xbox, then several Forza Motorsport games were released on Xbox 360 and most recently Turn 10 Studios is continuing its success over the last two years on Xbox One.

I think everyone understands that Nintendo's E3 event was a little disappointing. I also believe that everyone thinks Nintendo is holding on to the really good announcements for the NX. After attending the Nintendo Summer Event in Toronto, Ontario this week, I've realized that some games need to be played to be appreciated. Blastball was one of those titles.

Le Tour De France is very exciting to follow especially in the last legs of the race. To see anyone remotely close to a top ranked position really attacking and pushing themselves in the final hour or minutes of the race. The agony the racers go through especially at the end shows how much they want it. It shows their passion, their determination, their love for biking. Did this translate to the video game version of Le Tour De France? Not so much. It's fun at times, but after a while the novelty goes away and we are left with a game full of 198 racers and a ...

At the 2015 NHL Awards in Las Vegas last week we saw the announcement to have two NHL stars displayed on the latest NHL game coming out this September. With the dominance that the Chicago Blackhawks have had over the last six years it was only fitting to put their Captain Jonathan Toews and elite star Patrick Kane on the cover holding the Stanley Cup.

Beach Buggy Racing seems to be another attempt at the legendary Super Mario Kart which has a lot of upside but doesn’t live up to the legendary Mario Kart. For several years there have been a lot of publisher games trying to imitate the success but to no avail. All of the previous Kart type games and Beach Buggy Racing are good in their own way and a good alternative to Mario Kart for each of their respective consoles. Since there have been a few years gap on Kart style games the market is open for a fun game like Beach Buggy Racing on Xbox One. Vector Unit ...

EA Sports has announced the full version of the title NHL 16 for Xbox One and PS4 while also announcing NHL Legacy Edition for Xbox 360 and PS3. While the 360 and PS3 versions will include the usual popular modes and same gameplay as they have always included in the NHL games, the Xbox One and PS4 versions will reinstate features that were missing from NHL 15.

Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is only free until April 10th but after playing the game for about an hour and a half I realized I won't need much more time to complete the entire game and successfully unlock all achievements, netting me the 1000/1000 score. The total amount of time to complete this game is about 3-5 hours depending on your driving skill. Most of the achievements are story related or task related, One achievement entirely depends on your skills for combo chains as a Forza driver and a little luck to go your way to achieve a 50,000 ...

One of the things The Crew has going for it is actually the story. While overall it isn't breaking any major boundaries, it gets off to a great start. Unfortunately, the story becomes secondary to driving across America and essentially doing the same things over and over again, but Ubisoft grips players early with how things pan out. It's a story of crooked cops, a murdered brother, and so much more. The story starts off on a high, and probably would have great throughout had this been a much shorter experience.
