Welcome to another set of notes about the up and coming game releases about to drop into the Xbox store. Starting on the 24th right the way through to the 27th, the game’s will be popping up thick and fast. And this week they include the next Instalment of the FIFA franchise brought to you by EA Sports, and having played just a little already, I can assure you it’s a belter with a few changes to the shooting mechanism. Not only are the defenders better at defending, but the keepers also seem to have their abilities super charged, and as for scoring from free kick’s and penalties all I can say is good luck.
Of course, there are other games out too, so check them out below…
