Madden 21 is the newest entry in Electronic Arts’ annual NFL simulation series to release. Over the years the Ultimate Team mode where players acquire cards and build out their dream NFL roster has exploded in both popularity and profitability. In many fans’ eyes, its success has come at a loss of quality to the game’s franchise mode and many feel Ultimate Team is extremely predatory. With plenty of new players entering the mode for the first time, they need to know some of the tricks and tips they can use in Madden 21....

Now that The Match: Champions for Charity has somewhat satiated sports fans’ desire for some sort of semblance of an organized sporting event, it’s only a matter of time before the need arises again. Luckily, for Madden fans, they’ll get to whet their appetites again next week. On June 1st, we’ll have our first look at this year’s release of Madden NFL 21, finally getting a peek behind the curtain for what’s in store for NFL fans in the annual release....

The official reveal of Spider-Man’s gameplay in Marvel’s Avengers strongly suggests that the character just won’t be worth the hype that his controversial PlayStation exclusivity generated so long ago. IGN and other outlets recently got the chance to try out Marvel’s Avengers‘ Spider-Man: With Great Power DLC, and initial impressions aren’t…great. Not only will Spider-Man not be getting his own story missions as part of the upcoming DLC, but his story will be told through a series of audio logs and brief cutscenes that you will unlock via Avengers Initiative multiplayer missions....

This is going to be a very big week for Marvel’s Avengers. Despite some serious concerns about the future of the game as the player base continues to shrink, the first major DLC is on the way to attempt to breath fresh life into the title after a very rocky launch.

Nintendo has announced that all players will be receiving five free costumes in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order a day before the Fantastic Four arrive in the next DLC pack on March 26. The additional cosmetics look great, providing a new look for Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Elektra, and Deadpool. Downloading the update on March 25 is all players need to do to unlock the new costumes. The theme in this bundle of cosmetics might not be immediately apparent to all players since there has not been much exposure to the group....

While it remains unclear whether the next installment of the Mass Effect franchise will continue from the original trilogy, pick up where Mass Effect: Andromeda left off, or begin a new story entirely, Andromeda left fans puzzling over one big mystery in the Mass Effect universe that Mass Effect 5 needs to explain. The Jardaan are an alien race that used to live in the Heleus Cluster before ostensibly abandoning it....

With the long-awaited Black Widow movie on the way, Marvel is finally giving the spotlight to one of their characters who has been in the MCU since fairly close to the beginning but has never been given a solo film. It does, however, seem like a strange choice to finally give Natasha Romanoff a film when her character arc has already ended with her death in Avengers: Endgame. Why is her story relevant now, and what could they possibly be hoping to set up for her character if they can’t include her in any future entries?...

It seems like with each new trailer THQ releases for Saints Row: The Third that we receive, the more this game continues to show it isn’t just a one-trick pony. This newest trailer, which introduces players to the rival cyber gang known as The Deckers, is no exception. Part of what makes The Saints encounter with The Deckers in Saints Row: The Third so unique takes place about halfway into the trailer, when the player must jump into a cyberspace/Tron-esque world and do battle on a virtual plane....

With Microsoft’s xCloud launch right around the corner, Apple recently adjusted its App Store policies regarding streaming apps and services. Now, Microsoft has offered a disapproving response to Apple’s updated App Store policies. The App Store has come under major fire recently for multiple policies, including those regarding Apple’s share in revenue from apps from the App Store and its restrictions on game streaming. Specifically, the App Store prohibited the xCloud and Stadia apps due to issues with security....

Even if that online multiplayer game is free-to-play, you’re still probably going to spend money according to a new survey. Almost 90% of people who play an MMO have spent money on it in-game. This is probably not all that surprising to the developers who actually make these games, but to gamers believing that they’re getting an awesome game without paying a cent? You’re definitely in the minority. A new survey from Top Dollar asked 1,000 American gamers about their MMO spending habits....

It’s been a big week for the recently announced Middle-earth: Shadow of War, after a lengthy gameplay trailer showed off many new mechanics and gameplay showing players building an army to oppose the Dark Lord Sauron. The gameplay also showed off the expanded Nemesis System, which then raised a number of questions as well, including the possibility of letting players import a save file from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. After checking with a Warner Bros representative, Monolith Productions creative vice president Michael de Plater remained cagey about the subject and confirmed that they’re not saying anything at this time....

There will be no zombies mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Some of you might be a little sad to hear that Call of Duty is abandoning its zombies gameplay, at least for its most recent entry. According to a new interview with Campaign Gameplay Director Jacob Minkoff, Modern Warfare’s gritty realism just didn’t lend itself to a zombie sideshow. Minkoff sat down to talk with PlayStation Lifestyle recently about the upcoming soft reboot or the Modern Warfare franchise....

Tabletop roleplaying game designer and fantasy novelist Keith Baker recently announced that his next RPG sourcebook will be Frontiers of Eberron: Threshold, and will feature content focused on campaign info for the Breland-Droaam border region of Eberron. The book is currently planned to launch through the Dungeon Masters Guild in 2021. The announcement was made via Baker’s most excellent blogsite in the Frontiers of Eberron post, with Baker presenting the reveal and few other details in this early stage....

Production company Konami and game creator Hideo Kojima once had a very beneficial relationship. Hideo Kojima made the critically acclaimed Metal Gear Solid games, which is undoubtedly one of Konami’s most beloved titles, but the relationship soured towards the release of Metal Gear Solid 5. Many fans have wondered why the relationship between the two parties changed and recent accusations seemed to shed light on the situation, but Kojima Productions is now refuting the allegations....

Renowned developer Hideo Kojima says that it is “way too early” to talk about the details involving the forthcoming title he and his team are creating. During the second episode of his YouTube series known as HideoTube, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima talks with his friend, the Japanese editor and MGS novelist, Kenji Yano, and explains that he’s “just started the basic plan” for his forthcoming release. For those unaware, his personal studio is making a PlayStation exclusive game by way of a partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment....

Warzone players have discovered a new exploit that allows them to pose as a dead body, and the community seems to be split over whether it’s okay or not. Call of Duty: Warzone players are no strangers to glitches and elements giving others what appear to be an unfair advantage. Look no further than the infinite stim glitch and the Roze skin for evidence of that. However, the latest glitch might not be a glitch at all....

Another E3, another pre-event leak. Today, gameplay footage of Star Wars Battlefront 2 leaked online, hours before EA’s press conference is set to kick off later in the afternoon. The game is slated for a full reveal during EA Play, but YouTube user NukemDukem jumped the gun, uploading a 12-minute video that shows off Star Wars Battlefront 2 big bad Darth Maul, the fearsome Boba Fett, and the heroic Rey all in third-person perspective....

After 5.5 years of development and a heartbreaking last-minute delay for early adopters of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Ubisoft’s new sandbox IP game Watch Dogs is now out. We’ve had the game for a few days and have completed most of its meaty single player campaign, tried out all the side missions, hacked anything and everything, and battled hundreds of ‘Fixers’ but with the game just hitting stores now, we’re waiting to see the player pool fill up so we can get an appropriate multiplayer experience....
