Watch for the biggest games of 2014 which are all set to release in the second half of this year. Our three picks are all newer versions of old favourites and read on to find out which ones are worth all the hype!
Footie fever - FIFA 15
Set for a September 2014 release, FIFA 15 promises more realistic action on the field. The graphical upgrades in this version promise better detailing on players’ faces – which will even get covered in dirt as the game progresses - along with more realistic kits and better commentary. In addition, the pitch will change over the 90 minutes, responding to weather changes, footprints and sliding tackles. Players will show more emotion, much like they do in real life, and responding to this “emotional intelligence” the crowd too will respond to the action on the pitch, accordingly.

Genre - Sports
Expected release - September 2014
