ROCKET LEAGUE! It’s a great game that everybody loves and can get addicted.

It has become a cult game for all kinds of gamers. With the idea of the game being an explosive soccer game played by customizable cars with rockets strapped to them, how could it not be. Even if you aren’t a big fan of soccer, it is bound to suck you in.

Rockets! Cars! SPORTS! In the next release of Rocket League, it will have more modes, including a basketball court…field? Basketball! It’s harder to play but equally as fun.

Rocket League is a growing cult game among all consoles. And speaking of which, it may be the first cross platform game to be. Sony and Microsoft have been talking about joining forces so XBOX users could play with PS4 users. For a trial game, they were planning on using Rocket League. Although there have been less talk about this, hopefully there will be a day XBOX and PlayStation can live in harmony, and hopefully Rocket League can help that dream become a reality.

That is correct. We may be getting Star Wars as well as Marvel levels in Kingdom Hearts 3. It is no news that Disney now owns both Lucas Arts and Marvel names, but does it mean we will have these levels within the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3? I sure hope so. That would be just amazing to have combat along side the Avengers while in the same game facing off against Vader.

I’m not saying that these would necessarily be the levels if they were to exist, but they would be probably pretty awesome. To go through these levels of two of the most popular stories of today, it would  be pretty sweet to participate in the stories as Sora. And we wouldn’t have to be caught up in the Little Mermaid, again.

Madden 17 will be the 32nd installment in the Madden franchise. But what will be new? What will set this Madden aside from all the others, and force us to buy it again. Here’s what I’m hoping for.

I feel as though that EA Sports has exhausted all the alleys for continued improvements. They’ve specified on how to make defense gameplay better. Then followed it up the following year making the offenses more versatile.  I feel that they “jumped the shark,” with things like Ultimate Team where its pretty much turning Madden into a card game. Of course, I admit that this didn’t stop me from picking up the recent copies. It always offered something new, even if it was a minor improvement.

What I’m wondering though is: What is coming up next?

Will it be more mobile enhanced QBs? More realistic collisions? More agile running backs? More lethal corners? It’s hard to say. If anything, it will focus on just one position or side of the ball, leaving the other one unchanged. I understand that they can’t to a complete overhaul of the game, but then again, why not?

My hopes for Madden are that they can add or even subtract game modes, in order to bring it back to it’s classical ways. We will see whenever they send out a commercial spot.

Quantum Break is becoming…well a quantum break in the video game world. The graphics are unbelievably realistic. So much so, it seems like it is just a video rather than a CGI rendering of the characters. These graphics are amazing on the XBOXO and even more so on PC.

Quantum Break is a story driven shooter where your character, played by Shawn Ashmore, can manipulate time. This skill comes in handy and it’s what makes the game so unique and entertaining.

What is Unique about this game? What sets it apart from all the others? Well, this game is a classic story shooter where you go through cut scenes and a plot that drives your character and gives you objectives. The difference is…super powers! Well not exactly. It’s not Batman or Spiderman like, but you do have special abilities that make you an asset to the game.

These powers are time related. With the game motto being, “Time is Power,” that really sums up what your powers include. Freezing or slowing down time as well as rewinding. These all come in handy when you are in combat or have an A-B puzzle to solve.

I believe that this will be a big game for XBOX and PC. Unfortunately, PS4 will not receive it. But, nonetheless, it is a terrific and groundbreaking game.
