Electronics Arts: The Best Lineup of Videogames for Every Platform...


We have been featuring almost every Electronic Arts videogame release for most of our product reviews for the last 29 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 16. The Madden franchise has sold over 100 million games. 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. Love it.


NHL 16. 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.
NBA Live 16. The excitement of the NBA has been completely captured with the newest version from the NBA Live series. Super responsive and incredibly fun gameplay, stunning visuals, and modes including 'Learn LIVE," and "LIVE Season" make this a winner. There are more than 500 core gameplay improvements this year to provide an authentic gaming experience. Passing, shooting, and dribbling have all been impressively improved, with better ball movement and transitions. Now players will be able to time shots better, and real-time physics will replicate dunks and layups. Players strikingly resemble their real-world counterparts. All of that, in addition to lots of new, fresh content, make this a must have for any hockey enthusiasts.

Need For Speed 2015. 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. You can seamlessly join a world where your friends are already racing and chasing. You can all share the same game. 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! It's just beautiful with stunning graphics, smooth gameplay, and spectacular music that will be your adrenaline rushing like never before.


FIFA 16. 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.


Star Wars Battlefield: Coming Out Soon! With ultra-smooth, gorgeous graphics, all of your battle fantasies can come true in this larger-than-life Star Wars game. Play as the hero or the villain as you have intense battles on as you pilot TIE fighters, the Millennium Falcon, speeder bikes and snow speeders while firing blasters and other weapons. You have to constantly change your game plan because each character acts and battles differently, so it never gets boring. Battles will ensue on all of your favorite, iconic Star Wars planets including Hoth, Tatooine and event Sullust. You can play as one of many unforgettable Star Wars characters including Darth Vader and Boba Fett. And you can play solo or alongside 39 other competitors. Love it! You absolutely won't be disappointed!


Battlefield 4. Although the new Star Wars version is coming soon, we feel that last year's title still deserves a nod. 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 on its struggle to find their way home. 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!

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. This explosive, 3rd person shooter is an entertaining action experience that has you blasting zombies, plants and new characters across a mine-blowing world. It's slightly scarier than the firs version and a lot more fun. Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare is a combination of an online shooter blended with refreshing humor. Shoot peas from your face, invade the skies as a Garlic drone and play as a zombie with a dolphin gun. Stunning 3D graphics are filled with vibrant colors and unique landscapes thanks to the Frostbite 3 engine. There are more than 10 maps and 3 modes for lots of gameplay. It's a lot of easygoing fun.
