The highly anticipated release of NHL 16 has finally come. The last version of the flagship hockey simulator from EA Canada lives up to the developer's hype and delivers in a big way.
Jason Schreier:
"When Destiny first launched, it was a half-baked, punishing game with the barest hint of a story, delivered through crummy dialogue and repetitive missions that tasked you with shooting endless waves of enemies. One year later, everythings changed."
"n this second part of this short series we keep on chugging through thee Tutorial of Nobunagas Ambition, explaining why its telling you to do certain things and helping put it in a way that can be understood!" - Rice Digital
GR:
"72 seconds. At first, it feels like a mistake. There's no reason why it takes so long to drive between Mother Base platforms. Or why a game defined by its freedom is forcing you to travel in a straight line. There's no scenery, no incoming calls, no priorities to juggle apart from listen to one of the game's audio tapes. A tape that lasts 69 seconds. Damn. MGS5 is a game so balanced, sublimely authored and nuanced, even its mistakes are calculated; gifting you unprecedented freedom, but unafraid to limit your options to create powerful moments of introspection."
EA sports:
They say the best offense is a good defense. Having a great goalkeeper is one thing, but having a fantastic back-line is your best insurance. These are the 10 best-defending players in FIFA 16.
The BioShock series of first-person shooters have received near global acclaim from critics for their thoughtful stories, amazing settings and characters, and fun gameplay. And theyre not wrong.
However, rarely is a game perfect. I intend to shed light on some of the insistences, annoyances, logic problems, quirks and general silliness that developers Irrationals Games and 2K Marin thought they got away with.
Here are 10 things that still grind my gears about the first two games.
GR:
"Let's face it: Destiny's voice actors don't have much they can chew into. In the year since its release, Destiny's expansions - including the megaton additions in The Taken King - have done a lot to flesh out the story, but you won't find too many long monologues or gripping dramatic scenes throughout the cinematic plot. You may not even realize how many instantly recognizable actors are part of Destiny's cast, which is full of talent that in hindsight seems startlingly underutilized."
GR:
"Metal Gear Solid 5 isn't just a stellar free-form stealth-action game; it's also one hell of a military base management sim. It makes sense - as Big Boss and leader of the Diamond Dogs, it's up to you to manage the development of your home, Mother Base, as well as the staff that runs it. It's a lot to take in at first, but it's not as complicated as you think; most of your day-to-day operations are handled through your iDroid, and happen in the background while you play."
