Madden-opoly Faces Lawsuit

Gotgame writes:

"Do you remember when you had a choice when it came to your football games? Yes, it has been ages (well, 4 years), since gamers had a say in how they chose to play their NFL football games, when they could freely choose whether they wanted the ultra-realistic football simulation of Madden, or the slightly more arcade-like NFL 2K series. Times have, unfortunately, changed."

I am surprised that this law suit didn't come to pass a long time ago. I for one really miss the old 2k series.

MLB2K shut down EA baseball. Same thing.

BSigel815791d ago

If im not mistaken Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo can make their own licensed football game. Microsoft did it with the fever series, I don't see them standing a chance. But, the question begs to be answered and that would be, Why didn't Sony or Microsoft buy Take-Two when football wasn't monopolized? It would have made sense to buy the franchise maybe keep the 2K to bring fans back in and made a better experience than Madden.

Seriously BS that my government doesn't see the licensing of a popular franchise to a sole video game developer as a monopoly.

I hope this lawsuit passes, being the relevence of the situation. Shame on the NFL as well for being so damn greedy to actually accepting the offer.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.

Wolfenstein: The New Order - A Highly Rated FPS That Hasn't Stood the Test of Time

Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?

I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces

All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.

I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.

Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.

Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more
