The holy grail of football video games is undoubtedly the Madden franchise. It is always the highest-selling and often the best-reviewed football game on the market. And that was before EA Sports scored the official NFL license to become the only game out there featuring teams and players from the real league. It made them the only true game in town. The vast majority of football video games fall into the category of being worse than Madden throughout history....

There are many, many, Dungeons & Dragons players that look at 5th Edition and do not see it as an improvement – just an need to buy more books/manuals to stay current. There are some new features introduced into D&D in later editions that are welcome, and in fact long overdue. A great example of one of these features is scalable spells – the ability to memorize a spell at a higher spell level to increase the spell’s effectiveness....

While the Assassin’s Creed series might have lost a majority of its storyline luster over the years, there’s no denying that fans still get a kick out of its period setting.

The term open-world RPG brings two things to mind: a fantastic world to explore and a plethora of quests and side quests to do. Borderlands 3 is no exception to this, filled to the brim with awesome quests to loot and shoot your way through.

When it comes to Sea of Thieves, there are plenty of opinions, both good and bad. I think it’s safe to say that Rare’s pirate-em-up didn’t have the smoothest of launches out there. When the game unexpectedly hit the shelves this March, after some hastily organized beta tests, it quickly came under fire for the lack of content and features. Players felt cheated by the state of the title on release and the torches and pitchforks were quick to appear....

In the world of Dragon Ball, there aren’t many opportunities for fighters to receive a better education. Many fans prefer it this way.

He was abandoned as a child and had grown only to enjoy fighting. Other characters in the series are not aware of school on their planets....
