NHL 16 Review

NHL 15 was a lackluster effort from EA, and everybody knew it. The excuses were many - new hardware to deal with for example - but they were all the same excuses other sports titles could have used, but didn't. NHL 16 had a lot of rectifying to do, not only with the sport it was trying to accurately recreate, but also the fan base who 'went home' disappointed after a night at the rink in NHL 15. So, does NHL 16 fix all the problems present in last years premier ...

Disney Infinity 3.0: Fun in the Toy Box

The Disney Infinity 3.0 play sets are excellent fun, and we will be reviewing each of those shortly. The Toy Box, however, is where players will experience the most fun and the most frustration.

Mad Max Review

Mad Max on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, came out at the worst possible time. Sure, the movie was fairly successful, but for a game based on a movie to come out right around Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is retail suicide.
