"In North America, if you say  FIFA , the majority of people will think of us rather than the actual governing body." The unabashed view of Matthew Prior, FIFA's creative director, explains why EA Sports' FIFA is king. But how did the game consumed by so many become the definitive, market leader, when a decade ago it had a major rival for gamers' eyes, ears and dollars in the shape of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer? The studio has inevitably benefited from its unique licensing contracts with brands, players and the governing body. Its grip on the living, breathing world of football via its online platform has entrenched the status quo. Yet PES has sustained a reputation as something bordering on a cult hit, with gameplay that continues to score strongly with audiences. It cannot, though, translate its cultural currency into sales. Metro 's September 2017 review of last year's PES instalment observed: "There's always the feeling that

It was bound to come so we did see this coming didn't we? Of course we did! Technology has finally taken a big leap by going air borne and sooner than later, yep, in 2027 airplanes will be powered by electricity According to cnet UK airline EasyJet says it will operate an electric-powered passenger airplane within the next decade.EasyJet today announced a partnership with a US company to develop an all-electric passenger airplane over the next decade. The UK low-cost airline says it will be able to fly the still-unnamed aircraft on 20 percent of its routes across Europe, both reducing carbon emissions and lowering noise levels for communities near airports. In an interview conducted by cnet, California-based  Wright Electric  says it will design and build an airliner with electric motors in the wings that will draw power from batteries. The company, which already demonstrated a two-seater electric airplane, plans to complete the first prototype of a commercial-scale aircraft by 20

Windows Phone has been  dead for a good year now , and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has decided it’s also time to move on. In an interview with  Fox News Sunday  ( spotted by  On MSFT ), Gates reveals he’s now using an Android phone. While Gates doesn’t reveal the exact model, he does note that it has “a lot of Microsoft software” on it, which could suggest it’s a special  Microsoft Edition Samsung Galaxy S8 handset  with bundled software. Microsoft started selling the Samsung Galaxy S8 handset in its retail stores earlier this year, and it includes apps like Office, OneDrive, Cortana, and Outlook. Any Android phone also supports these apps, but Microsoft’s customized S8 does suggest the company might continue to offer this for other Android devices in the future. While Gates is switching to Android, he’s still not interested in an iPhone. Gates famously banned iPhones and iPods at home in the past, but he does admit that Steve Jobs was a “genius” in the Fox interview. Gates is st

Sony CEO Andrew House voiced his concerns about the potential of handheld gaming outside of Asia during the Tokyo Game Show last week, Bloomberg reports. “We have not seen that as being a huge market opportunity,” he said, specifically referring to handheld consoles’ potential outside of Asia. He admitted though that the matter was different for the Switch as its “a hybrid device,” resulting in a “different approach and strategy.” He added that the success of the Switch doesn't have an impact on Sony’s sales so far: “That draws me to the conclusion that they’ve really been additive to the business in the last year or so,” House told  Bloomberg . “The folks at Nintendo have their strategy and that’s great. We remain focused around a highly connected gaming experience and also coupled with having a great range of other entertainment experiences so you can reach multiple people on the big screen in the household.” Sony’s PS Vita is still selling well in Japan, with about  4,000 ha

WWE 2K18 will launch for PC on October 17, which is the same day as the console versions, 2K Sports announced. That's notable because it's the first time in the history of the wrestling game series that the PC and console editions are launching on the same day. October 17 is the release date for WWE 2K18's standard and deluxe editions, both of which will be available on PC through Steam on that day. On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, people who pre-order can start playing four days early. This offer is not available on PC, but pre-order shoppers on PC will get two versions of Kurt Angle at launch . The PC versions of WWE 2K games historically have launched after the console versions. Last year's WWE 2K17 was released in February 2018 , about four months after the console versions arrived. Today's news is no doubt good for PC users looking to play as soon as possible, and it's probably a bottom-line booster for 2K Sports parent publisher Take-Two Interactive as we

I've gone through the product specs, taken a good look at it and wondered is the APPLE WATCH SERIES 3 the best apple watch as far as series go? I'll let you decide but here are a few point and spot on in this device YOU ARE FINALLY FREE FROM YOUR IPHONE! Yes yes I said it. Apple has now made an upgrade to the watch that is less stressful and easy to operate. The old version of the smart watch: series 1 and 2 required you to have a connection with your iPhone before using the watch as a "mini phone" which took us away from the convenience of the device because the main reason why majority preferred to use the apple watch was because they wanted to spend less time handling their phones, and this was a total bummer. Finally theyve gotten rid of that, making the watch more or less a phone it self AWESOME INBUILT FUNCTIONALITY In addition to the apple watch series 3 being free from the shackles of the iPhone, it is also packed with amazing functions bringing closer to be

China has blocked WhatsApp, security experts confirmed today  to  The   New York Times .  Over the past few months, WhatsApp has experienced brief disruptions to service, with users unable to send video chats or photos. Now, even text messages are completely blocked, according to Nadim Kobeissi, an applied cryptographer at Symbolic Software, a Paris-based research firm that also monitors digital censorship in China. “Essentially, it seems that what we initially monitored as censorship of WhatsApp’s photo, video and voice note sharing capabilities in July has now evolved to what appears to be consistent text messaging blocking and throttling across China,” Kobeissi told  The Verge . Kobeissi found that China may have recently upgraded its firewall to detect and block the  NoiseSocket protocol that WhatsApp uses to send texts, in addition to already blocking the HTTPS/TLS that WhatsApp uses to send photos and videos. He said, “I think it took time for the Chinese firewall to adapt to

The Tecno CX is a great device, but it is also one of the most expensive phones in the Camon series. Sure, it has one of the best cameras for its price range but many phones nowadays deliver decent photography as well Yesterday, a device was launched that shares the same CPU, RAM, design and android version with the  Tecno CX  but goes for half the price. One of the Tecno’s biggest caveats was its minuscule amount of RAM and internal storage (2GB RAM & 16GB internal). It seemed to stutter a bit every time a user activates the split screen multitasking feature. Also, this year Tecno did not make a 5 inch version for the CX like they did last year with the C9. Luckily, this new phone, Meizu M6, comes with a compact 5.2 inch screen, an option to get 3GB RAM & 32GB storage and the same premium metallic build that we saw on the CX . Here’s a rundown of the specifications and price.   Tecno CX .............................. Meizu M6Screen 5.5 inch Full HD.....................5.2

With the release of iOS 11, Apple is making it slightly easier for iOS device owners to download larger apps over a cellular connection by increasing the download limit. Before, Apple would require users to switch to Wi-Fi to download an app over 100 MB in size, which includes many games as well as Apple’s own suite of iWork applications. Now, that limit has increased to 150 MB. The change was announced in brief post on  Apple’s developer website , and comes at a time when Apple has introduced new technologies for third-party developers that allow them to build augmented reality applications where virtual objects can be overlaid on the real world, as in Pokémon Go. But 150 MB is still a fairly restrictive limit, given the size of many of today’s mobile games. However, an increase on the download restriction has been a long time coming, as  9to5Mac  pointed out. Apple hasn’t raised the limit since 2013, when it bumped it up from 50 MB to 100 MB. And iOS originally had a 10 MB limi
