Those fans of the original Lost Planet: Extreme Condition who fell in love with the unique setting and near-invincible boss battles will be glad to know that Spark has done the environments and enemies justice....

Aimee Garcia, who plays the plucky forensic scientist Ella Lopez on Lucifer, had a particularly eye-opening experience during the cancelation incident as well as throughout the series itself, and she holds the fans in the highest regard.

Unfortunately for EA, Madden 21 has been marred by development issues, some which are and others which are not their own doing. Developing a game during the age of COVID obviously isn’t easy, but fans are already up in arms about the lack of support for this year’s Franchise mode.

The Super Bowl XLV simulation was conducted utilizing artificial intelligence powered by real-life data from each team to determine player ratings. It even includes variances, such as injuries, to predict the outcome. While Green Bay may have been the early odds favorite to win the Super Bowl, these Madden predictions have been pretty accurate in the past, correctly predicting six out of the last seven Super Bowl champions. The only time Madden got the result wrong was in 2008 when it incorrectly picked the New England Patriots to beat the New York Giants....

United can, however, still wrap up a runner-up finish and FA Cup glory – having booked a final date with Chelsea in that competition – and Neville believes there is cause for optimism....
