When it comes to most racing simulators, you probably think of iRacing, Factor, or Assetto Corsa as the most realistic. With the newest installment of the Gran Turismo franchise, you get an authentic racing experience on the console.

The biggest problem with most console racing games is the AI, or the "computer" as some call it. Gran Turismo has developed an AI system called GT Sophy which hasn't been able to be beaten by even the best sim-racers on the game. With an AI as competitive as GT Sophy, offline racing will get a major revamp in this historic franchise.

The game contains tracks from Daytona International Speedway, the home of the Daytona 500, to Mount Panorama Circuit, otherwise known as Bathurst. A racing game this advanced hasn't been seen on Playstation 5 yet, but this game could be a classic for years to come.

Electronic Arts, otherwise known as EA, is the leader in the gaming industry when it comes to sports games. While the company typically hasn't had the greatest reputation with its loyal fan base, this edition of Madden is changing the path.

Madden NFL 23 sees a much-improved franchise mode with players now showing how much they want to stay with the team. Additionally, you are able to scout college athletes more in-depth and can even download user-created rosters from the cloud to scout real college players in the game. Other game modes like Ultimate Team and Play Now haven't changed much, but they don't really need to be changed.

While yes, this Madden game is just another installment of the historic franchise, this game is worth getting. EA listened to their fans, or critics, and made the necessary changes to create another great game.

The Call of Duty franchise is quite impressive. Since the first game of the series was made in 2003, over 400 million people have purchased a Call of Duty game.

While the past few years have featured very futuristic games with jetpacks and mega-jumps, Call of Duty: Vanguardthrows it back to World War II, which has been a major reason this installment didn't meet the developer's expectations.

But, the multiplayer is far improved from Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold Warwhich was released in 2020. Ultimately, if you're looking for a new FPS and love the Call of Duty games from the past, this is for you.
