HHW Gaming: Colin Kaepernick Is Back In The NFL…Virtually, Added As A Free Agent In ‘Madden NFL 21’
Source: EA Sports / Madden NFL 21 Colin Kaepernick will be suiting up again in the NFL, well virtually. Madden NFL 21 announced Tuesday (Sept.8) that the quarterback will be in the game as a free agent. The news of Kaepernick’s inclusion in the game was definitely something nobody saw coming. It’s been four years since Kap was featured in the popular football video game franchise. He was last in the game back in 2016. At the time, he was still a member of the San Francisco 49ers. He just began his protest of kneeling during the national anthem to bring attention to racial inequality and police brutality in the United States. With his addition, he will be one of the top free agents in the game thanks to EA, giving him an 81 overall rating. Out of the 111 quarterbacks featured in Madden NFL ...
Marvel’s Avengers Puts Gamers in the Shoes, Capes, and Mechanized Suits of Their Favorite Heroes
If you pay attention to video games and/or superheroes, you’ve probably seen at least one headline that the new Marvel’s Avengers game is “surprisingly good.” Considering the gaming community’s love of hating on “live service” games (titles which are based around ongoing content updates rather than a single comprehensive experience at launch) and criticism of anything related to a property as large as Marvel (like the idiotic puddle-based debate ahead of Marvel’s Spider-Man), it’s no surprise that much of the discourse surrounding Avengers is about how it’s significantly better than certain pockets of the internet expected. Truthfully, the team at Crystal Dynamics are in the midst of a wildly uphill battle to live up to fans’ ridiculous expectations and put forth the first proper Avengers ...

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Remaster Brings New Energy to Classic Games
With the remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 set to release on PC, PlayStation and Xbox on Sept. 4, skateboarding fans young and old are preparing to pick up the sticks once again to return to the iconic series. What was once considered a bit of a holy grail when it came to desired remasters — and an unlikely one due to how many songs would need to be licensed to replace the legendary soundtrack — is mere days away from reality after being in the works for years, and it’s no mere high definition re-skin of the 20-year-old classics. Filled with new skateboarders and features, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is more of a brand new game built around the core of the originals than a cheap glossy makeover (the latter of which already happened once with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD back in 2012)....
The Biden-Harris Campaign Comes to Animal Crossing
The 2020 presidential campaign is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Not only has the current White House occupant bastardized the whole idea of politics as we know it, but the ongoing pandemic has completely altered the way candidates connect with the voting public.

There’s a standard Biden-Harris sign; a Joe Pride sign; a “Team Joe” sign; and a sign featuring Biden’s hallmark aviator sunglasses in red, white, and blue. To access the s...

HHW Gaming Review: ‘Madden NFL 21’ Is The Same Old Dog With One New Trick
Source: EA / Madden NFL 21 Thanks to COVID-19, there is a bit of uncertainty in the air when it comes to wondering if we will actually see NFL games played this year. With that in mind, EA’s annual football game Madden NFL 21 will have a more significant role in delivering football fanatics their pigskin action. But does this year’s iteration of the popular football video game franchise give the quality fans have come to expect? I’m gonna keep it a buck, it’s been a while since a Madden game has pulled me in, and I was hoping that Madden NFL 21 would be that game to lure back into the franchise that I once loved as a kid going into my teen years. The game’s marginal improvements failed to keep me excited about the football video game franchise, and the new game modes did little to keep me ...
