We have been featuring almost every Electronic Arts videogame release for most of our product reviews for the last 28 years. There is one reason why: Their lineup is always consistently excellent and continues to remain exciting and fresh, even after so many years featuring updated offerings of franchises. Series include/has included titles like Madden NFL, FIFA Soccer, NHL Live, NBA Live, Medal of Honor, Rockband, Need For Speed, Sim City, UFC, Battlefield, and dozens more. Where else can you find such a superstar lineup of titles all under one roof! There is no other videogame manufacturer on their level and there probably never will be again. If you own a videogame system, we can guarantee that there are EA titles in your collection.Rather than feature extensive reviews, which we have in the past but don't really need to anymore, we just want you to know that with XBox One and PS4, they continue to amaze and delight us with the realism of their graphics, sound, and features. Families everywhere are enjoying EA's lineup, and we can't wait for their next creation.
Madden 15. The Madden franchise has sold over 100 million games. Last year they celebrated their 25th anniversary of the EA series. EA's president wanted the most realistic football game possible for his gamers. John Madden was his only choice as the representative of the series he envisioned. An exclusive deal with the NFL (allowing use of their logos and uniforms) made Madden the only legitimate football game available. We particularly love the Madden Bowl. Every player wants to be a part of it as it takes place over the real Super Bowl weekend in the host city. The single elimination tournament takes the best Madden players (invited by EA) tom come and battle against each other. The winner gets a trophy and in-game recognition in the next installment of the franchise. It's an awesome addition to the game's bonuses.
NHL 15. The newest addition to the NHL franchise features stunning graphics and refined gameplay like you've never seen before due to the amazing possibilities with XBox One and PS4. They players look and act just like their real-life counterparts, moving so naturally and so realistic. Players even feel the blows when making contact with each other, and scratches, cuts, and swollen eyes with visible bruising will be had. The puck will play differently each time it's touched, just like on actual NHL ice (taking crazy bounces and hops). The detailing on arenas is insanely accurate, using real names like Madison Square Garden. With mind-blowing visuals this is one of the best and most realistic NHL games yet.
Need For Speed Rivals. A street-racing rivalry between cops and racers never stops at Redview County. The fastest cars have you in the seat as either a cop or racer. Each side has its own high stakes challenges and reward, as well as consequences. Once you get hooked on this series, you will eagerly await each new release because they offer more excitement and intensity every time. The new All-Driv feature lets you seamlessly join a world where your friends are already racing and chasing. You can all share the same game, race and chase. Power your car up with amazing new upgrades and personalize your bodywork with fresh paint jobs, custom parts, and decals. Intense racing moments are thrilling, and this game will definitely get your adrenaline pumping!
FIFA 15. Soccer comes to life on your screen in stunning detail. Fans of the game, and sport, will truly experience the emotion of the sport like never before on a video game. Witness the intensity of the crowd while you listen to commentators guide fans through the game. New emotional intelligence allows players to react to teammates and opponents so realistically it's mind boggling. The world's best soccer players show their personalities and attitudes just their real-life counterparts. Details like grass wearing out as matches progress, true-life appearance of players, and spot-on audio heighten the enjoyment of the game. You will be immersed in the action and excitement of the game. This version is more physical, and more rewarding, than ever before.
Battlefield 4. This genre-defining action game provides a visceral, dramatic experience unlike any other. Reduce an entire skyscraper to rubble and find your way in the dust left behind, blow up a dam to flood city streets, or lead a naval assault from the back of a gun boat. Jump into a helicopter, go after an enemy tank, snipe from strategic points. It all happens in Battlefield 4. You have the freedom to do so much more than you could imagine as you try to carve your path with limitless possibilities to victory. New maps, more vehicles and weapons, and more ways for destruction create a nail-biting experience. During Commander Mode you can actually deliver critical intelligence, manage support, deploy gunship strikes, and launch missile strikes. Your actions will physically change the game in real-time, making every move you make important, requiring strategic moves. Even shifts in weather change the game. Its intense and very dramatic character-driven campaign starts with the evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai and takes your squad's on its struggle to find their way him. And the awe-inspiring power of the Frostbite 3 engine delivers the highest standard of immersion in entertainment for an unmatched level of visual and audio fidelity, superior character animations, and dynamic environments. There is no other game that will immerse you into the chaos of all-out-war, in the city, on the shoreline, and on the water. Incredible!
Dragon Age Inquisition. Let's start off by saying that this is one of the best RPGs we've seen, with a spectacular, ginormous world that isn't there just to look pretty. There are all kinds of things to do, and lots to explore inside and they use the space well. Lead a group of characters through rugged battles as you try to bring order to a land torn apart by a civil war. You must battle against earth-shattering dragons to demonic forces who are ripping holes in the sky across the entire world. You have to lead your organization through missions in nine areas, to conquer the game. The diverse landscapes take you through contrasting narrow, direct paths and open space. Each quest feels like an important part of the story, even if it's just a simple killing, and the game was designed to be fulfilling every step of the way. Actually, you can get lost just looking around this overwhelming, incredible world and forget what you were setting out to do but luckily there's a map to get you back on track to complete your mission. One of the aspects we like in the game is the way they incorporate an action into another purpose. For example, helping a farmer can reward you with new mounts for you to ride. Conversing with certain people can lead to bonuses. There are surprises every step of the way. We also like the way you can give orders and work with your group. You get invested in the storyline and when it comes time to slay your first dragon, you might feel a little tug at your heart. And then quickly your adrenaline starts pumping as you try to get more and more through the gigantic, endless world filled with many more sandboxes. Each of your enemies reacts to your actions, which is very cool. You will always discover more and that's part of the excitement because you could play for dozens of hours and still have plenty more to uncover in this great game. You drive the fate of this journey, and hopefully it will be a fulfilling one.
