Hot off the press from Electronic Arts, we’ve got some pretty exciting news on an upcoming game of theirs. Staying true to their line of sport games, they have released a gameplay trailer and some brand new information about NHL 17 and it’s looking a bit promising. As seen the the video below they’ve stepped up their game to (hopefully) make the game more like-like. In terms of gameplay improvements, various changes have been made to nearly all aspects of the game — skating, shooting, passing and lots more — according to their latest blog entry. It’s probably safe to expect the base game will retail for $59.99 like usual, while paid expansions haven’t been mentioned yet.

As it stands, NHL 17 will be available on September 13th for consoles and we’ll be sure to keep you updated as time goes on. Continue reading this post ->

Coming later this year from Electronic Arts, Need for Speed No Limits is an all new installment of the legendary racing series, made just for mobile devices. Developed by Firemonkeys, makers of the Real Racing franchise, Need for Speed No Limits challenges players to leave their mark on the streets of Blackridge while collecting, racing, and customizing high performance cars. Currently there’s no specific release date, however, Android users can pre-register for the game by clicking here. As mentioned, a teaser trailer has been revealed and the game looks pretty good. Most likely the game will run on top of the same engine as Real Racing 3, so it’ll be interesting to see how it turns out. Continue reading this post ->

Earlier this week, Electronic Arts announced that famed martial artist Bruce Lee has been added to the roster for EA Sports UFC on iOS as a free update. To give everyone a fighting chance, all players will be able to play as Bruce Lee until September 3rd, 2015. For those who chose to play as Bruce Lee, you can pick from either the flyweight or lightweight division.

Once September 3rd rolls around, we aren’t sure if Bruce Lee will be available as an in-app purchase, cost in-game currency to unlock, or something along those lines. By the sounds of it from EA, that’s how it’ll most likely be. That being said, it’s nice for players to at least get the playable character unlocked for free for a short amount of time. EA Sports UFC can be downloaded on the App Store for free by clicking here, however, there are in-app purchases. Continue reading this post ->
