Fifa 15
EA Sports
Another year, another Fifa game - but things are slightly different this time around.

Fifa 15 is the first game created solely with the PS4 and Xbox One systems in mind. Slipping the disc into your console, the first thing you'll notice is just how incredible it looks.

Players' faces have been realistically modelled on their real-life counterparts, and from the pain of an injury to the exultation of the win, all of it's there on screen in brilliant HD graphics.

Alongside that are all the little details: the club-focused chants, the fan reaction close-ups, the camera moving slightly when the ball hits the back of the net. Even the grass is damaged as the match progresses.

But unless you're a die-hard football fan, none of that's really going to keep your interest. The gameplay is what's important and, during the past seven years or so, EA has had a strong track record of keeping football simulation alive, culminating in last year's peak-performance Fifa 14 release.
