    Mobile games these days are largely dominated by free-to-play offerings that pressure users to spend money. Often it's about spending money just to be able to continue playing the game rather than the more traditional paying for optional upgrades or bonus content. This has resulted in a reliance on "whales" - the incredibly small percentage of users that account for the majority of the revenue - and creating a game that will hook them. They'd rather do that than make the game fun and invitin...

    It may be practically dead at this point but it remains important for EA Sports to support the UFC title that launched in June. Having opened to weak sales, and dropping off the map since, the goal isn't necessarily to capture new consumers (the damage has already been done, interest waned and competition too fierce now) but display a commitment to what is hoped to be a long-running franchise. The changes that have been made since release in now two patches demonstrates the company has ide...

    Dropping the year from the title, Madden NFL Mobile is the latest game out for iOS and Android devices from EA. After transitioning to the free-to-play model with Madden 25 this one continues the Ultimate Team structure that proved to be fairly successful despite a swarm of complaints from those who preferred the more traditional game of the past (paying up front with real teams and the usual modes) and disliked being badgered constantly for money in the new one. Some improvements have been ...

    For years Madden has been a decent game that could be enjoyed by overlooking its considerable flaws and deficiencies which have generated frustration yet avoided game-breaking status. For many that was possible and the value was there, for some it was still too much to get past. That really hasn't changed with Madden NFL 15 which has improved in several areas of need but come up short yet again in others. What's different this time is the number of options that change the way you can p...

    2K Sports today released the first trailer for NBA 2K15. The game is right in line with the typical marketing schedule which has produced trailers in the past in late August. Gameplay videos out of Gamescom and a new super-customizable offline franchise mode are all that has really been revealed to date. The trailer includes the usual flash but more notably the presence of a studio show featuring Ernie Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal. ComplexEmbed.Application.initialize({cId: "VseDJ1bzrViJTB...
