The Summit will have you doing drift races, drags races, and doing stunts with monster trucks. The monster trucks are an absolute riot.
It also made me realize Gemini: Heroes Reborn offers up a layer of strategy and depth I never expected to get.
I used to consider the zombies mode an afterthought. Something I'd tackle when I am bored or just tired of getting slaughtered online. Now; however, it is almost my immediate go to mode.
As for the gameplay, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 delivers and is much richer experience than I expected.
With so many skins, strong cast of characters (classic and new), stunning visuals, variety of modes and lively online community, Mortal Kombat XL delivers the ultimate Mortal Kombat game for fans to enjoy.
Visually, Ori and The Blind Forest scores high marks. The level design is beautiful as the colours pop from the screen and art design is equally fantastic.
Having to re-start the game after every death can be absolutely soul crushing but the satisfaction you get from winning an exhausting battle against an enemy Ironcast is remarkably satisfying.
Sony's undisputed king of virtual baseball games suffered a slight set-back last year but the franchise is back in fine form in 2016.
As a zombie map it works, but like I suggested it never really resonated with me. Maybe it will for you.
As far as the sound is concerned, the game is spot on. Those chiptunes are catchy and work perfectly with the game.
Out of all the new multiplayer maps, “Empire” is truly the stand-out. This re-imagined map from Black Ops 2 looks fantastic..
On its own Madden NFL 17 looks great. Everything from the stadiums to the players, Madden NFL 17 does an excellent job at capturing the NFL experience.
Salvation is loaded with 4 well thought-out maps that take you from a re-imagined western style map from Black Ops 2 to a map that makes you feel like a shrunken character from the movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”.
I absolutely loved the vibrant energy about this 80’s setting. Zombies in Spaceland is also stacked with talent.
Nevertheless, with Skylanders Imaginators for the Switch you get a vibrant, deep, and customizable experience with an endless supply of things to do.
There is no question the most noticeable eye popping difference with these maps is the enhanced visuals.
This makes this Madden feel more like a Madden for everyone, not just for those tournament and league diehards.
Visually, Forza Motorsport 7 is an incredible looking game. Newcomers will be blown away while series veterans should feel right at home.
It remains as punishing as any other zombie game I have played to date.
Overall, Madden NFL 19 certainly hits all the right notes.
