Click here to watch embedded media In 2011, EA published a game unlike anything it had before or since with Shadows of the Damned. It was born from the minds of Suda 51, known for games like Killer 7 and No More Heroes, and Shinji Mikami, the former Capcom staple behind games like Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4 among other classics. Looking toward Resident Evil 4 for gameplay inspiration, Shadows of the Damned tells the story of Garcia Hotspur and his transforming gun sidekick, Johnson, as they explore the underworld in search of Hotspur's kidnapped girlfriend, Paula. The journey is bizarre and full of a surprising amount of interesting world-building and it holds up well almost eight years after release. Well... the gameplay does anyway.

In his first year as a starter, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tore up the league, taking the Chiefs to the AFC Conference Championships and earning MVP and Offensive Player of the Year honors in the process. Now he's the Madden NFL 20 cover star, with the game coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 2. The new, main features this year are a "career campaign" mode called Face of the Franchise: QB1 and a player abilities system called Superstar X-Factor (click the links for more on these features). Face of the Franchise lets you create/customize your own QB, start in college in the National Championship playoffs, and continue to the NFL. Your draft spot is determined by how you do in the Combine drills and team interviews, and from here you transition into Connected Franchise mode. The difference from previous years is that the new Scenario Engine presents your player with realistic situations to respond to that affect your player and team, creating d...

EA Sports and developer EA Tiburon have just announced Madden NFL 20  (out August 2nd), and while there are some sweet-sounding new features like superstar players and Face of the Franchise mode , fans want to know that the underlying gameplay is fixed. Last year's title was not only buggy at launch and beyond, but there were also plenty of complaints about key aspects like the running game, blocking, and catching. Although the developer hasn't started talking about specific gameplay changes for Madden 20, creative director Mike Young said, "There is probably going to be a laundry list of things the community would get excited about... I think we did a lot with animations. It's a cleaner and a more bug-free game." One of the structural things the team did to improve the game this time around was to address bugs and tune gameplay as they went along instead of trying to do it all at the end of development. Young says the game was playable earlier than ever and t...
