Issue 2 - July 2012

This announcement of this game was a surprise to me, who’d have expected one more of the Gears of War series hitting out with yet another?

Expect to see this hitting stores in 2013 - in my mind this could be big, maybe even on Next Gen Consoles!

Although details are very thin right now, what I can tell you is that the game centralises around the trial of Kilo Squad (which includes Augustus Cole and Baird) over accusations of treason following a battle with the Locust. The game is known to be a a Prequel to the original Gears of War, so don’t expect the weapons in the game to impress you so much, my guess is that it will be the basics com-pared to what we’re used to. The only gun I can pretty much bet on the return is the Retro Lancer, which would have been used by many during those battles - Before the chainsaw. I’ve tried to find all I can on the game for now, but sadly its not too much.

Gears of War : Judgement

Important Info

. The game will take place early in the Locust War and rotates around 'Kilo Squad'. We see the return of the characters of Cole and Baird. So far 3 new Characters have been confirmed; - Sofia Hendrik; A Gear in the Coalition of Ordered Governments army which in the game serves alongside Kilo Squad. - Ezra Loomis; An Officer in the Coalition of Ordered Governments army who charged Kilo squad for treason over an incident in the Locust War. - Garron Paduk is a Gear whom fights to take revenge on the Locust, after an attack on his fellow militia, during the Pendulum wars, which resulted in him being saved by COG navy.

It’s that time of year again! The next introduction to the series of the very success-ful franchise is Fifa 13, which is due for release on 28th Sept. in Europe, and 25th in North America.

Once again this year EA Sports have tried to bring more & more features to the already feature-packed game. This

year the most noticeable being ‘Fifa 13 First touch Control’ - bringing a much more realistic feel to the game, as well as making it possi-ble to try new ways to weave ways past the opponents diffence. This coupled along with another new feature; ‘Attacking Intelligence’ What this means is that compared to the past games in the Fifa series is that in this, you hopefully won’t have the main problem that we all had before, the AI not making those runs for you, making the game flow alot easier and making each and every attack unique. In this issue I will show all the Screenshots that I can find, as well as provide all of the info that I possibly can.

Other Notable features

PLAYER IMPACT ENGINE : We see the return of the impact engine technology seen in Fifa 12 again this year, said by EA to have been overhauled and made far more realistic, while not ruining the game with all the bugs that it brought in Fifa 12. I guess only time will tell with this one...

FIFA 13 TACTICAL FREEKICK : THis year we see a far more customisable approach to the freekicks we take in the game. Now we have the choice of dummys, chips, power shots, lay off’s, fakes... you name it! I guess it will just make it all that more interesting for the keeper of the other team, especially in Pro CLubs!

EA SPORTS FOOTBALL CLUB : This year Ea football club will mean far more to you when playing the game, as you rank up with XP from games and challenges you complete, you will not only be moving up the leaderboards against friends, but also working to-wards rewards such as kits, balls, stadiums etc. which can be used in other parts of the game... Including Pro Clubs!

Complete Dribbling : Last year Ea introduced the idea of 360 dribbling, which to be honest was impressive, but this year they say to have taken it a step further with complete control allowing for much more precise dribbling for taking on those last defenders. Honestly can’t wait to see how it is in game.
