The Madden NFL franchise has survived for 25 long years and several console iterations, and over that time the series has grown from a blocky, arcade-style experience to a well-oiled machine, where refinements are slight but the gameplay is razor sharp. With Madden NFL 25, the franchise once again takes the leap into a new generation of consoles, but does so with a lot of its baggage in tow. Madden NFL 25 isn’t the visually impressive, totally immersive football title EA Sports was hoping for, but it does introduce a few changes that hardcore fans will certainly appreciate....

Sorry Assassin’s Creed 3 fans, but it looks like Connor’s story will not be receiving the same type of closure that Ezio and Altair’s stories did. This according to Ubisoft’s Lead Writer Darby McDevitt, who revealed that there are currently no plans to wrap up, or revisit, the Connor story.
