While FIFA has come close at times, Pro Evo has doubtlessly been the better series to buy, and the newest installment of PES shows the game's edge. FIFA made a stretch that rebuilt the franchise, but for Konami, they played it safe and only added a few new things.

To be fair, Konami has made tweaks that improved the match engine, and there is a more refined game than ever before. You also have new advantages like an increased number of licensed teams. Along with that, you have an international challenge mode. It does take some practice games before you adjust to the new control and playing style, but once you do, you have a more polished…

transformation I see the most would be between the Nintendo 64 to the PlayStation 4 consoles. The Nintendo 64 was a stepping stone for modern day gaming such as the PlayStation 4.

The controller had a 4 foot wire attached to it along with a memory card holder on the controller in case people wanted to make their games saves…

Gaming has been a huge market ever since the first console launched. Many differences have arose from the introduction of the first console, the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, and the more recent releases into the gaming market, the Sony PlayStation 4 and the Microsoft Xbox One in late 2013, to allow for better graphics, storylines, and overall experiences. Without the changes in video games to adjust to the times, I doubt they would be as popular as they are today. To draw more and more people to…
