Negative Madden Football Reputation is Well Earned
The above user scores of Metacritic captured on Friday evening represent a week that has been a public relations nightmare for Electronic Arts (EA). With the release of Madden NFL 21, the latest entry in the company’s biggest annual franchise, the amount of negative feedback has been astronomical. It seems that this is the year that the bottom has finally fallen out after years of consumer complaints and concerns going unanswered and unaddressed. Continue Reading

Released earlier this month, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has emerged as one of the most popular games of 2020.

A Simple Rule: Don’t Like It, Don’t Buy It

What You’re Getting Into With ‘Early Access’
It seems like we are so far removed from the era of video games being released as complete packages in themselves. I can remember growing up during an age of gaming when there was no such thing as Downloadable Content (DLC), patches, betas, alphas or early access. The games simply went on sale, you purchased it from the store, then brought it home and played it. There was no waiting for a Day One patch to download, no having to install a game from your disc to the hard drive and definitely no having to wait for months while paying extra money along the way for the developer’s version of the “complete” game. Those were such simpler times. Continue Reading
