Madden NFL 15 Review
I played and reviewed last year's Madden NFL 25 on PS3 when it released. That game later came to PS4 and Xbox One, but as I didn't get a PS4 until May, I didn't experience last year's Madden game on the current gen systems. So the first thing I noticed when getting into a game on Madden NFL 15 was just how much better it looks versus last year's game on PS3. It simply looks amazing, and the team at Tiburon has gone a great job of adding in a ton of detail. They've scanned the majority of team…

EA Sports UFC Review
Let me preface this review by saying that not only am I a huge MMA fan in general but a pretty diehard fan of MMA games in general. So much so that I actually downloaded the EA Sports UFC demo on both XBOX One and PS4. XBOX One because it was available hours before it's PS4 counterpart and I simply didn't want to wait and PS4 because for this particular game that was my console of choice. I logged more hours into THQ's Undisputed Series and EA Sports MMA on my 360 than any other individual…

Madden NFL 25 Review
The 25th anniversary of the acclaimed Madden series is upon us and the game is in sort of a rough spot currently. Madden 25 hits stores on the 27th of August for current generation consoles PS3 and Xbox 360, and this version of the game is running on Infinity Engine 2.0 (an improvement over last year’s great new engine). However, there is also the looming reality that the next generation is almost here and Madden 25 will be making the jump to PS4 and Xbox One as a launch title when both systems…

NCAA Football 14 Review
It’s July, and besides fireworks that can only mean one thing… a new NCAA Football is upon us. It’s hard to believe, but thankfully it is indeed almost time once again for the greatest of all sports: college football. The new season begins at the end of August, and that gives us plenty of time to run through the upcoming season controlling our favorite teams in dynasty or season mode and see what the future holds in store. One complaint people always have about annual titles like NCAA Football…

Madden NFL 13 (Wii U) Review
I reviewed Madden NFL 13 back in August and scored it a 4/5. It is a superb football game. I'm not going to write out a long review for the Wii U version because it doesn't need it. If you already own Madden NFL 13, then you don't need to purchase it again for the Wii U. Unfortunately, it isn't the definitive version of the game like I was hoping it would be. You can go back and read my previous review of the PS3 version for some things; commentary is the same and Connected Careers is the same…

Madden NFL 13 Review
It's August, which means a new season of football is almost upon us, and it also means it's time for a new edition of the yearly sports juggernaut Madden NFL. I had the pleasure of reviewing Madden 12, and enjoyed last years edition (my first NFL game in years) enough that I scored it 4 stars. Some folks disagreed with that score, in fact I apparently had an "incorrect review" as one commenter who didn't agree with the high score put it. Well here's the scoop... After playing Madden NFL 13 for…

NCAA Football ’13 Review
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, Web of Paine proudly brings to you, the most behind video game review in the world, The Backlog. Back once again, and for the second year in a row, we'll take a look at the only college football game on the market, NCAA Football 13. Last year's offering started off pretty good, but a dynasty schedule issue in year two kept me from starting my dynasty until it was patch, so that got very annoying. Add in that linebackers had the vertical…

NBA Jam: On Fire Edition Review
I’ll admit up front that I absolutely hate basketball, and that I could care less about any basketball simulation game. That’s why I’ve loved the NBA Jam series since I was a kid playing it on the Genesis, or SNES, or in an arcade. NBA Jam strips the game down to its most basic element without having rules (with the exception of goal tending) and without complicated controls. Basically, NBA Jam has always been the basketball game that fans and non-fans of the sport could play for hours at a time…

Madden NFL 12 Review
If you’re taking the time to read this review, you’re probably a fan of the franchise or have some interest in picking up Madden NFL 12, and so I won’t make you wait until the end to know if it’s good or not. This is the opening kickoff, and we’re taking this one all the way back for a touchdown. Yes, Madden NFL 12 is an outstanding football game and it is definitely one that you are going to want to purchase. It’s common practice to compare a yearly title to the previous year’s entry, but I…

NCAA Football 12 Review
Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to my first game review that isn't for a game that has been out for at least three or four years. Today we'll be having a look at NCAA Football 12, the newest edition in the long running college football series. In recent years, EA has been working on improving their presentation in a continuing effort to make it more and more like an ESPN broadcast, and this year is no different. From the beginning intro scenes to the actual game presentations, EA…
