The yearly EA Sports releases are as predictable as santa coming down the chimney at Christmas to deliver gifts, but we’ve rounded up this years game with a bit of a blurb around our favourite aspects of each game! Let’s take a quick look at FIFA 23, NHL 23, and Madden 23! FIFA 23 isn’t doing a ton different from FIFA 22, and I think that will be a constant theme this year. That being said, FIFA 23 is still…

When a tutorial is required, either for new players or because a new concept has been introduce into a game, so often companies use the most boring way to show off the new mechanic, or teach the controls. EA Sports has tried to do away with that type of crap, and instead have created a fantastic short story experience that walks players through the basics of running, passing, shooting and more, all set on the streets of Paris, and in the famous stadium of PSG!

Sports games get picked over with a fine-toothed comb each and ever year, and for good reason. At 79.99 in Canada, it's a steep price to pay, and folks want to make sure they aren't getting a very expensive roster update. While FIFA lacks any major overhauls this year, there are enough changes that should justify a purchase for even the most casual of FIFA fans. Let's dive in!

The 2018 FIFA World Cup is just around the corner in Russia, but gamers can get in on the World Cup action early by getting the free update for FIFA 18. Already available on Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, the FIFA 18 updates brings new menu visuals to the game, as well as complete tournament layouts for you to enjoy. Who will you take all the way to the championship!

We've commented and reviewed EA Access before when the service first launched and Xbox Canada supplied us with a 12 month review code, but I've since let my membership with the program lapse, not because there wasn't value, but as a reviewer, much of what was available on the service I had already played and completed, and with so much work on my desk at any given time, going back to an older title isn't a luxury I can have. With the recent launches of Madden 18 and (soon) NHL 18, I re-up'd my service thanks again to Xbox Canada, and realized the immense ...

During this first trip to E3 I had the distinct honor and pleasure of a Nintendo Booth tour and meeting with Julie Gagnon, from Nintendo Canada. In preparing for this meeting I reflected on my history with Nintendo, from Nintendo classic to SNES to Nintendo 64 and WiiU. I've had my share of joy from Nintendo Products over decades, from: Mario, Super Mario, Mario RPG, Wetrix, and Splatoon. To be honest, I hadn't played Nintendo games much over the past few years, but this visit felt like visiting a friend from my childhood.

FIFA 16 is out today across the world - although EA Access Members on Xbox One have been playing for almost a week now. With every sports franchise, the question almost always becomes, "How much has this title improved on last years game." Sometimes, the improvements are subtle, making consumers decide whether to actually upgrade last years game over this years improved version.

Rockstar's latest Grand Theft Auto, a game some are already saying is the best title of this generation, has been knocked from its top spot on the UK sales charts in only its second week. Despite record sales, FIFA 14 has outdone its second week figures, claiming first place.

Aside from a few new kits there is nothing new or game changing about EA latest handheld offering.
