Sports Giant EA Games has released the latest free-to-play soccer game: FIFA 16 Ultimate Team. The game is available for download on iOS and Android now.
That’s right, soccer fans have yet another FIFA game to get involved in, and this time it’s on mobile. Players can build their own teams packed full of star players and talent, and climb up to the top of the very best leagues in the world.
Designed for Mobile
EA says that the entire FIFA 16 Ultimate Team game has been built from scratch with mobile in mind. Players are able to control every aspect of the gameplay with the flick of their finger, from all of the menus down to individual player movement. The game engine is also completely new, optimizing the gameplay on mobile devices to give players the best possible experience.
There are currently more than 10,000 players and 500 teams available in the game, and the matches are played in real stadiums, much like in the full console version. The game feels like a mini version of the main FIFA console game, but with one major difference as the female teams are not included.

The Open Beta for Armored Warfare is getting closer. The free-to-play Tank game is now undergoing stress tests, meaning players will be able to download and play Armored Warfare very soon.
The stress test is designed to ensure that the servers can handle large amounts of players doing battle on the fields of this free-to-play war game. The stability of the servers is vital to having a successful launch. The team behind Armored Warfare are hoping to get as many players as possible online at the same time.
Pushing Servers to their Limits
During the Stress Test the servers will be as close to maximum capacity as possible, this means that players shouldn’t expect the smoothest of gaming experiences, and that lag spikes, server queues and unstable servers should be expected. Basically, don’t use this as an opportunity to get a first look at the game, because you might come away with a bad impression and a bitter taste in your mouth.
Those that want to get involved and help out with the stress testing can sign up and download the game from their official website here. The launcher includes complete instructions to get on the servers and start testing them.
We will be sure to keep you posted if we get any more news about the official launch of the open beta, but until then head over to the Armored Warfare site and signup for free!

One thing that new players of the free-to-play World of Warships have problems with is using carriers effectively. Here we are to help out new players by giving you some helpful tips and tricks to land those torpedoes and use your planes to really make a difference.
Interface
One of the first things you’ll notice is that the interface is different; it is zoomed out and gives you a bird’s eye view, much like the tactical map but a little smaller. At first this might be a little confusing to use, after being used to the controls of the cruisers and battleships before, but it doesn’t take long to get used to.
Basically, you use your number keys to select aircraft, then use the “F” button to launch the planes, and then left click to send them where you want them to go. Go into a co-op game to try it out, it’s a lot like playing a real-time strategy game. Be sure to practice doing manual torpedo drops using the ALT key when you’re controlling the torpedo bombers.
Aircraft
There are three types of aircraft that you’ll have access to. These are fighters, torpedo bombers, and dive bombers, and they fulfill three different roles.
Fighters: These guys excel at taking out other aircraft. If you can engage an enemy torpedo bomber squadron with your fighters, you are bound to come out on top
Torpedo Bombers: These damage dealing aircraft are best at terrorizing enemy Battleships and Aircraft Carriers. They drop torpedoes which arm after a few meters in the water, and deal loads of damage.
Dive Bombers: The Diver Bombers can be a little underwhelming. They drop explosive bombs on ships and are designed to set things on fire. They do good damage, but it can be a bit random where they drop.
Strategy
One of the most effective strategies as an Aircraft Carrier is to attack enemy carriers and battleships. This is because they tend to be quite slow moving, so are easy to hit with torpedo bombers. One strategy to take with Battleships is to attack them with torpedoes to cause flooding so they use their repair skill, then drop some dive bombers on them to cause a fire that they can’t do anything about.
Another useful tip is to keep your planes around friendly cruisers, this way your aircraft will be protected by the friendly anti-aircraft fire.
