EA Sports Reveals Holiday Xbox 360 Lineup

Among the titles to be released this holiday season are FIFA 07, Need for Speed Carbon, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 07, NBA LIVE 07, NHL07, Half Life 2 and SUPERMAN RETURNS: THE VIDEOGAME. Clearly Electronics Arts has mentioned a couple non-sports related games in Half Life 2 and Superman Returns, and there is of course the possibility that more game releases will be mentioned between now and then.

Customers will be able to take advantage of Xbox Live for use with the EA Sports titles, and will be able to access digital content from EA using the Microsoft Marketplace on the Xbox 360, including product news and game demos.

“A year ago the industry inaugurated the next generation of video gaming – this year the next gen gaming experience gets even better,” said Jan Bolz, Vice President, International Sales and Marketing, EA. “EA’s 360 line up brings the innovation of our creative development teams to players around the world, immersing them in deep, connected game play experiences that truly signal the arrival of a new era of digital entertainment.”

The DualSense wireless controller that arrives with your PlayStation 5 is by no means an inferior gaming product. However, it does fall short for players who want to do a little more with their control methods.

Sony has acknowledged some shortcomings with its release of the new DualSense Edge, as well as the upcoming project Leonardo that caters to gamers with disabilities, but there are some third-party options that can fit your needs just as well.

I would buy a PlayStation Portal 2 if it had this one feature
A Pulse Elite, DualSense, and PlayStation Portal sit on a table.

I've had a bit of a love-hate relationship with the PlayStation Portal since it launched. Initially, I was disappointed by Sony's cloud streaming device. I was impressed with its screen and appreciated its DualSense integration, but its slimmeddown features made it feel like a cheap version of a good idea. I've since learned to find a use case for my PlayStation Portal that turned it into an integral part of my gaming setup. It's very imperfect, but that doesn't mean it's not useful.

Ever since its launch, I've been hoping for a refreshed follow-up, whether that be a Pro model or a true PlayStation Portal 2. It may be way too early to start discussing that considering that the Portal just launched in November 2023, but the promising device has enough glaring flaws that I'd welcome a fast-tracked successor. If Sony were to make a PlayStation Portal 2, though, there's one feature that's nonnegotiable: Bluetooth.

The best games for laptops

Newer laptops have a lot more power inside for gaming, but can't quite keep up with the latest and greatest of games on PC and consoles. Plus, you typically are restricted to a keyboard and touchpad that makes more intensive games uncomfortable or too difficult to enjoy. Since you won't always have access to a separate mouse or standard controller, you might need some games that still play great on your laptop without needing any accessories.

These are the best games you can either play with nothing but the keyboard or minimal mouse use to avoid any hand cramps.
