Madden NFL 17

This might be the best Madden in years...

I picked this up for $20 after skipping out on Madden for the last couple of years, and I gotta say I'm really impressed with this year's game.

Commentary is vastly improved since the years of Cris Collinsworth repeating the same things over and over. That always killed it for me in the past, but the production and entertainment value is like that of the FIFA series. Player animations are more fluid and less robotic, and the amount of Ultimate Team content will have you hooked for days.

Now that the superbowl is just 3 days away, I'd suggest picking this one up when the price drops or goes on sale.

  • This is practically the same game. Updated rosters (aside from oops we forgot Russell Wilson doesn't play for the Seahawks) are one thing but I didn't notice much of a difference in terms of overall presentation and gameplay. Franchise mode is worth a try, Ultimate Team seems like a cash grab, and other modes didn't seem to improve from years past. You can skip...

  • It's never too late to jump into the Aery series and this latest release is my favorite so far. While it seemed a bit shorter than other titles in the series, I felt like the progression was much more fluid and told a great story about life's journey through time. If you're not familiar with the Aery series of games, the series is all about flying around different...

  • Look I know this game is made for kids and all - my nephews love Ryan and his YouTube stuff - but it's actually pretty fun if you're looking for a super casual Mario Kart clone for Xbox One. Achievements are pretty easy to unlock which is a huge bonus for me, and it's really not that bad given I don't know any of the characters of the Ryan series or...

  • This game was a decent sequel and pretty darn good game for the Puzzle genre which is not my favorite. Low price and relatively easy achievements was an easy sell for me. I liked the different mechanics and difficulty as levels progressed. The boss battle was fun too and would hope they produce another game in the series.

  • Yeah so the non-linear progression may not be some people's fancy as seen in other reviews of the game elsewhere, I happen to find this game incredibly fun. Sure, the quests may become repetitive early on and you may jump ship (no pun intended) but I strongly encourage you to give it a shot with a group of friends or even better -...
