It’s time to return to Azeroth, fellow cave dwellers.
Between this and Pokémon GO, you’ll be hard-pressed
to find any free time as we lead into Christmas, but
trust us when we say it’s been worth the two years
wait since Draenor. Legion is the latest expansion to
feature the famed Illidan, and it brings a new class in
lieu of his Illidari – the Demon Hunters. These guys can
even double jump! Anyway, once you’ve pranced around and enjoyed
the freedom a lil', there’s a ton of new content like dungeons and raids
to enjoy, and even a heap of new customisation options to let you play
the way you want. You are not prepared.

Madden, like many of EA's other sporting ventures,
is a series that just won't quit. The game is a hyper-
realistic NFL simulator, each year bringing more and
more advanced physics and gameplay to the franchise.
This year’s instalment takes the series even further,
improving the offensive, defensive and special team
systems to create the most advanced Madden title
yet. Special Teams will see the introduction of a new, more advanced
kick meter, and the new ball physics will allow for more realistic and
unpredictable pigskin movement. The enhanced AI and mechanics
allow you to have the most immersive NFL experience possible, all
inside your own home. Play ball.

Adam Jensen is back with a vengeance. If Human
Revolution was all about gettin' pimped out and riding
that cybernetically-enhanced wave, then Mankind Divided
does a 180 and decides hang on, people power! Jensen
has now joined Task Force 29 – an elite counter-terrorism
operation that are hunting the Illuminati. Yes, it’s as weird
as it sounds, but playing as Jensen you’ll have access to
all sorts of wonderful bodily augmentations that’ll allow
you to shoot or stealth your way through any situation.
It's down to you and your new pals at the Task Force to
restore Earth to its former glory and rid it of all that augmentation-ism.

latest entry into the F1 franchise and your best bet at
