With the final game played for the majority of football leagues around the world, many people are looking past FIFA 14 and looking on to FIFA 15. There are so many different wish lists being created online about what they fans would like this time round, and the following points would certainly make the next FIFA an improvement.
Many people feel that with agents being more important in football, they should have a place in the game, especially the career mode, and this is something that has been talked about for quite some time, so perhaps we can expect it in FIFA 15.
Seeing more team meetings and clips behind the scenes can bring fans closer to the players than ever before, and this could be a popular addition for the career mode.
The final suggestion is more training sessions. Training is often talked about in the media, it’s where some players pick up injuries and where some players earn a place in the starting 11, and because of this perhaps more time should be invested into the training, as well as the matches.

The Flappy Bird App was released on May 24th 2013 by Dong Nguyen but received a sudden rise in popularity in early 2014. The game, which involves tapping your device’s screen to propel a small bird through a series of strategically placed pipes, was criticised for its level of difficulty and alleged infringement of copyright in graphics and game mechanics as well as its highly addictive nature. At the end of January 2014, it was the most downloaded free game in the iOS App Store and Dong Nguyen was earning around $50,000 (£30,482) a day just from in-app advertisements.
Unfortunately, it was removed from the Apple Store and Google Play Store on February 10th 2014 by the creator Dong Nguyen because of guilt of the App’s addictive nature. After its removal Nguyen’s Twitter feed received abuse from fans unhappy at the decision, who threatened to murder him or commit suicide. As a result of the removal of the game, prices of phones with Flappy Bird pre-installed soared and many people created different versions of the game like Fall Out Bird. However, in a recent interview Dong Nguyen has admitted he has considering relaunching the app but if it was to happen the app would contain features telling the user to “take a break.”

The Nintendo Wii was a big hit when it was released and one of the most popular games on the Wii was Super Mario Bros. It was the game that took families back to the days of Mario, but it is also a modern take too.
The advantage this time round was that it allowed four people to play the game at one time, and that’s perfect for the family. There are so many challenging levels and team work is often needed to succeed, and it’s fair to say that the game was created with family fun in mind, rather than those playing individually.
The game earned a 9.4 review on IGN, and they state that it’s “all about the four play”. The thing is that Nintendo have made it difficult to go on to replicate the success, and hopefully the next Mario title on the Wii U will spark sales and get people talking about Nintendo again.

So now we’ve had time to adapt and get used to the next gen consoles we ask ourselves, do the graphics really have notable improvements?
Resolutions have improved and so too has the lighting for some games, but because it is still early stages, there is not a game that really screams out a massive improvement. Graphic are probably marginally better on the next gen consoles and it’s fair to say that gamers would have hoped for better improvements.
However, it is important to take into account that these consoles are built to last almost a decade, and improvements on games will be made with each new game, and it may take time to see the full potential of the graphics on next gen consoles.

PS3 online has a few over its competitors. First and foremost is it’s free, something which gamers appreciate, as games costing £40 brand new is quite expensive, and people don’t really want to spend more on it. In comparison Xbox 360 live cost works out at about £4 a month. This has allowed Xbox to invest in a better system of administration, as well as some exclusive technology which the PS3 system doesn’t have, creating a more reliable and enjoyable online gaming experience. The Xbox, as many people argue, provides a better system for you to enjoy, allowing a much more user friendly system, and also allowing you to manage recordings of saved games. The PS3 is preferred by many because of its straight forward system and because it is cheaper than any of its competitors.
