RPS: "Monster GPUs, 4K screens, zillions of pixels pumped per picosecond. These things are exciting. But are they relevant to most of us? When a top graphics card costs over £500 and arguably has an optimal working life of about 18 months to two years, Im not so sure. Either way, most of us simply dont buy that kind of clobber. Instead we buy things like the Nvidias new budget offering, the £120 / $160 GeForce GTX 950. And we buy them because, well, theyre actually affordable. But what exactly is life like at the more prosaic end of the pixel-pumping spectrum? To find out, Ive been slumming it with the new 950. This is what I have discovered."

Mike Stubbs: "There are issues in Madden 16, but ultimately the on-pitch action and the game modes on offer present what is easily the best Madden package of this generation so far. Draft Champions is not only a great mode on its own, but also removes the first irritating hours from MUT, which itself is still going strong. The changes to franchise mode make it easier to play and not the database crawl that it once was, and the new goals system offers more depth. The important thing is that Madden 16 is great fun and not at all frustrating to play. The load times are a big issue but are ultimately more of an inconvenience than anything."

Paul from EGMR writes: "From strategy games to even MMOs, weve quite a few iterations of the Lego franchise being made into games with the licensed games becoming more and more popular. Starting with Lego Creator: Harry Potter in 2001, weve been receiving Lego iterations of popular franchises but it wasnt until Lego Star Wars: The Video Game that Travellers Tales had found their winning formula. Since then, weve been seeing Lego versions of everything from superheroes to dinosaurs and for the most part theyve been rather enjoyable. There does however come a point where things need a little shake up, and this is what you can come to expect from Lego Dimensions."

VICE: Do you know how many games come out every year? I'm not even talking about the ones that make the App Store every single day well over 400, since you asked. I mean titles for home consoles and computers, sometimes heavily marketed affairs that you might see an advert for on late-night TV, or perhaps even an Underground poster in support of; and indie releases that tend to come out through strictly digital distribution means. Bloody loads, is the answer. Too many. Wikipedia reckons there are already over 700 games available to play on the PlayStation 4 alone. That's a console that launched in November 2013. Get your head around that. Nobody can play all of those games. Not even professionals. And professionals are guilty if guilty is quite the right word of missing out on what the wider industry, players and programmers and publishers alike, considers to be "the classics".
