Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo feature in the worst FIFA 15 misses of the season

Even the best players miss goals.www.gmusd.com But probably not as spectacularly as these open goal misses on FIFA 15, which have all made the 'Misses of the Season' compilations from EA Sports. And even the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi feature, both guilty of some shocking misses.www.mmozt.com And some of them are hilarious; particularly Sebastian Giovinco's for Juventus who manages to hit the post three times in three seconds. What EA Sports haven't done though, is leave the gamer tags of those guilty of these misses, which is very kind. Watch the great video above and if any of these are you, be ashamed. Be very ashamed.www.gmusd.com

Interview: Blizzard's Chris Sigaty and Alan Dabiri on Heroes of the Storm

blizzard has now released its next big new game which takes characters from their vast universes and smashes them all together in a massive team-based rumble. It doesn't stop there though, because they will be constantly updating the game with new features, game balances, and content like new battlegrounds and heroes. The best part about it is that it' Luke Lawrie, Stevivor: The last time I spoke to you guys at Blizzard was back in January and you were just going into closed beta. From the transition to that and into full release what was it that made you confident that Heroes of the Storm was ready to be put out there?www.gofifacoins.net Chris Sigaty: One of the primary drivers was battlegrounds; getting to our seven we felt like it was a great mixture of the variety we wanted to see. Our heroes too, we wanted to have a good representation across all of it. We actually slowed down on the release of Heroes in the last two major releases a bit. We wanted to really to get ready for it and focus a lot more on the polish, the stability of the entire online system and performance of the game, all of those things. So there was a lot more focus in that direction and wanting to pull it all together. But those last two battlegrounds were critical for us to step back and say, "This is the ground floor of where we want to be when we ship Heroes of the Storm to the world."s a load of fun and you can play it for free. We were invited back once again to chat with some of the creative developers at Blizzard, this time talking to Executive Producer Chris Sigaty and Technical Director Alan Dabiri.
