Video Game Review: FIFA ’15

/ Soccer, Video Game Reviews

Offline, FIFA ’15 is built around EA’s Ultimate Team and a pair of career offerings (one as a player, one as a manager). When creating a player you’ll select your league and team, and then you’re a safe bet to get transferred to a lesser league to hone your craft. It’s the typical rags to riches developmental journey as you’ll be presented with a set of objectives to meet with skills growing as you play.

Blu-ray Review: Transformers: Age of Extinction

/ Movie Reviews

Shaking up the cast was a smart move. Wahlberg is much more likable than the manic LaBeouf, and both Grammer and Stanley Tucci play their roles well. The comic relief isn’t as prevalent, either, especially once comedian T.J. Miller is out of the picture. It allows for the darker tone that they try to create with Optimus Prime to work, with Prime even reneging on his vow not to harm humans. Prime has been betrayed, and it makes sense for him to no longer blindly defend humanity.

Video Game Review: Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition

/ Video Game Reviews

Were we to start listing the number of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 titles that have been upgraded with better graphics or repackaged with additional DLC for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, we’d be here for a while. Don’t make the mistake of lumping Blizzard’s Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition into that group, however, as this version is truly worthy of its own release.

Video Game Review: Madden NFL 15

/ Football, Video Game Reviews

Whereas last year’s next-gen version felt like a modest step above its 360/PS3 counterpart, Madden NFL 15 takes advantage of the increased power the PS4 and Xbox One afford it. Stadiums, fans and player models have never looked better, and that, combined with an overhauled presentation to simulate the feel of televised NFL football, makes it easily the most realistic version to date. There are still some odd looking faces when the helmets come off, but in action things generally look excellent.
