Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is set to be released March 18, 2016. It takes place three years after the events of Uncharted 3, reported to be the last game starring Nathan Drake.
will there be a Uncharted 5, who knows some video franchises are like the energizer bunny
they go on and on and on...final fantasy is on game 15 i believe. The latest game from Naughty Dog
seems more like the ending to a proud and ground breaking series.

If you are new or dont know anything about Uncharted i will sum it up. The Uncharted series follows the protagonist Nathan Drake on his treasure hunting adventures with his partner and mentor Victor "Sully" Sullivan around the world. The games are story driven and rival or surpass most blockbuster films made in the last few years. It is a third person shooter and involves shooting, jumping, climbing and puzzle solving.

The newest game Uncharted 4: A Thief's End seems like a great way to go out on top. it introduces us to drake's brother in a "they keep pulling me back in" storyline. Nate is hunting for Captain Henry Avery’s long-lost treasure.

The Curse Is Real

Madden NFL16 Cover Odell Beckham Jr


So many thought Richard Kevin Sherman Seattle Seahawks cornerback escaped the Madden curse for appearing on the cover of Madden 15, well guess again.

Yes he had a great season and yes the Seahawks made it back to the SuperBowl but hold your horses


Those same Seattle Seahawks lost the SuperBowl to the Patriots so AHA!... and to boot Sherman had to have  Tommy John Surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left elbow


Now the latest cover athlete is  New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr lets see how the curse affects him..place your bets now

Real Sports

We all love sports games, Madden NFL, NBA Live, NBA2k just to name a few. The graphics are fantastic, the gameplay is awesome. The players look more and more realistic with each iteration but what doesn't get real are other elements of sports.

Remember when the 2007 New England Patriots almost went undefeated but lost in the Super Bowl on a trippy set of circumstances to the NY Giants (sorry pat fans for bringing up bad memories). that feel needs to be in sports games the convergence  of luck with one of a kind scenarios that only happen in real life.

Teams have incredible runs, they also have incredible slumps. players get hot for no reason or super cold and can do nothing right, that needs to be in the games. Another aspect of sports is fighting. no one wants to influence kids to be negative but these are grown ups engaged in fake life or death struggles there are bound to be flare ups when the stakes are so high. We need fights to break out on the fields of play, either from hard fouls or a team being embarrassed by a high score blowout. 

Another thing not present in sports games seems to be adjustments, teams get beat one night and the next game they have studied and game planned on how not to get beat the same way again. A level of coaching like that needs to be added especially for the playoffs.
