BLACK FRIDAY saw sales of FIFA 16 rise by a massive 254 per cent as the football game clawed its way back to the summit of the UK top 40 charts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The discount-retail event saw a huge boost in game purchases, with the likes of Unchartered: The Nathan Drake Collection and Forza Motorsport returning to the top 10.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
FIFA, which saw its price slashed to around £30, saw sales rise by 254 per cent, while Unchartered reportedly rose around 1000 per cent.</div>

Gamers were also keen to snap up other big-name titles, with Fallout 4 and Black Ops 3 sales both up significantly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, EA space blaster Star Wars: Battlefront recorded a drop of 52 per cent which saw it knocked off top-spot by FIFA, with Rise of the Tomb Raider also falling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As expected, Halo 5: Guardians was a big hit with shoppers as the bundle-friendly title saw sales rise by nearly 200 per cent.</div>

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 also saw an increase after undergoing their first proper Black Friday discount, with sales up by 8 per cent.</div>

AS PREDICTABLE as conceding a 90th minute equaliser when you need a win to go up on Ultimate Team, comes the latest FIFA game to coincide with the start of the new football season. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
FIFA 16 burst onto the scene with a hail of publicity aided by high-profile tweets from a number of the game's top stars. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And boy, it's good to have it back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's hard to know why I, and millions of other football fans across the world, get so excited about the release of a new game that is, let's face it, basically the same thing year on year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But we do and FIFA is back with it's usual raft of tweaks designed to keep the game moving forward as well as the usual staple of fan favourites. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/a-top-footy-pick-chelsea-strike-ace.html" target="_blank">FIFA 16 Ultimate Team</a>, career and manager mode, online pro clubs, challenges and team of the week features are all back for more. There is a brand new FIFA Trainer guide to help newbies learn the ropes, but it is also useful for experienced players looking to take their skills to the next level.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first, and probably most impressive, thing you notice is the graphics. This is always the area where FIFA has wiped the floor with Pro Evo and built its reputation as the No.1 football game on the planet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gradual improvement has been replaced by a huge leap forward and advanced face-mapping technology really bares fruit in the 2016 version of the franchise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The star players do genuinely look like their real-life counterparts now and are, frankly, a work of art.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hugely popular - and massively lucrative - <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/fifa-16-fut-update-price-setting.html" target="_blank">Ultimate Team </a>has had a few tweaks but it is still guaranteed to deliver plenty of controller-slamming moments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
EA Sports have worked hard on improving the all-round gameplay and it's paying off as the game gradually becomes tougher. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example, the first two goals I conceded on Ultimate Team were down to me assuming my player (I'm blaming you, Phil Jagielka) would simply hoover up the ball that was coming towards him and I'd be able to launch a swift counter-attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In fact he carried on running in a straight line, the ball went past him and the forward was through on goal. Twice. In the same game. Welcome to FIFA 16.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a steep learning curve and the reduced level of AI involved when controlling a player means the days of lazy defending - and attacking - are long gone. I lost count of the number of penalties I gave away early on by assuming that charging at the man with the ball would mean I would simply come away with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That isn't to say the general level of AI has decreased. Far from it. Across all other areas of the game the computer has become smarter and will make moves to cut off your attacks by holding their position or closing down space in a much-more realistic manner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
FIFA 16 feels like more of a chess match and has moved closer to the real thing in that sense. The art of goalscoring has become harder to perfect and hitting the back of the net feels more precious. Goals change games and if you give one away, a quick change in tactics from the opposition can mean you're in big trouble. And all of that is very much a good thing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There will be those who complain because you can no longer breeze past defenders and rely solely on pace. I am certainly not one of them. It's more about the skill of the player picking the right pass, the right touch, shot or cross at the right time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was never a fan of the FIFAs where speed was king. Obviously it is still a useful tool but the playing field has been levelled and it's the small margins which now win games. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And it's that which will provide the edge-of-the-sofa tension and smashed controllers across the globe for another 12 months.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bungie are celebrating the first team to defeat <strong>Destiny's</strong> King's Fall Raid, chronicling their seven-hour attempt following its release last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The team that emerged victorious revealed that they had prepared for the assault by taking on multiple Strike missions until the grind for the perfect light level had been completed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The six-player fireteam, including Charionna, Rebelize, FallingCow, Teawrex, Gothalion and Broman, spoke after their lengthy attempt about what was the hardest part of conquering King's Fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Teawrex commented: I'd say it was when we were facing off against Oryx for the later part of our Raid.  </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Sometimes we could get the mechanics to work for us, and then sometimes nothing would work at all with seemingly no change in our strategy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Nothing can feel more frustrating than lacking a vital piece to a puzzle. We'd do fantastic damage during the phases where we were supposed to, then the next time we'd do almost none at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Going back and forth between near perfect damage cycles to no damage done is brutal. Eventually we figured out that missing piece and killed The Taken King once and for all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Lastly, nothing comes without practice. Just because an encounter seems impossible, does not mean that it is."</div>

<strong>Call of Duty: Black Ops 3</strong> developers, Treyarch look on course to add another playlist that has proved a fan-favourite in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gamers have been asking what old and new features are set to be added to BO3 over the past year and it appears design director David Vonderhaar has confirmed that the Mercenary Moshpit playlist will be making an appearance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The multiplayer choice makes sure that teams are completely randomised, removing the chance of friends and clans sticking together and effectively spreading the talent across both teams.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It proved a popular choice for casuals and those who hadn't signed up to a dedicated group in past Call of Duty games and also helped bring down the chatter on player headsets.</div>

<strong>FIFA 16</strong> was released in the UK today and has always proved a popular choice due to the game's FIFA Ultimate Team mode.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There have been a few update since FIFA 15, with Price Ranges starting much wider and making it easier to buy and sell players on the Transfer Market.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Our aim this year is to keep Price Ranges as wide as possible throughout the season to offer a fair environment for trading and to protect the market against coin buying," developers EA Sports revealed before launch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The less coin farming and buying we see within FUT 16, the wider the Price Ranges will stay."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The FUT Draft is another new feature to FIFA 16, allowing fans to draft a squad and challenge opponents in a series of up to four matches to win big rewards for their club.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Describing the new feature,  </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It's a brand new way to play FUT, we think this is the biggest thing we've done in Ultimate Team since we released the first mode.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"If you're able to win four matches, you get the better prizes that go back to your FUT club, it also means you have to decide whether to pick the best rated player, or the player with the best team chemistry.</div>
