New 'FIFA,' 'NHL' won't disappoint fans

Marc Saltzman, Gannett writes: What's a sports fan to do between watching televised games? Playing their favorite sport, of course — be it signing up with a local league or joining their favorite team, virtually, in a video game.

Soccer and hockey fans, in particular, should take a shot with FIFA Soccer 12 and NHL 12, respectively, the latest from EA Sports. Both titles deliver plenty of depth and authenticity, near photorealistic graphics and the option to play with friends or family beside you or via the Internet.

Here's a quick look at each new offering.

Hilarious things happen when video-game physics go wrong

DSOGaming writes: "This article was inspired by a video that Elias Peppas shared with me. YouTube’s member ‘HelixSnake’ made a compilation of some epic physics fails from Skate 3. And this made us wonder; what could possibly go wrong in a video-game when physics engine go insane? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can get some gay stuff thanks to the Impact Engine of Fifa 12 & 13, spinning cars, boobs that can go up and down, and games with non-existent collisions (yeah, we’re talking about the legendary ‘Big Rigs’ game)."

Idk why you got 7 disagree's. Although I thought the skating vid was funny especially when the guy fixes the bench and puts it back in place and another guy runs into it and knocks the bench and him over

Myst4205d ago

Meh doesn't worry me much anymore. People disagree just to do so, to rile people's nerves or something else. I've come to expect it

*shrugs*

Snookies124206d ago
