As expected, a new Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 update today (weighing in at 3.9GB) added the UEFA Euro 2016 for free, which includes new national team licenses, tournament branding, an official tournament mode, an official match ball, and the Stade de France.
Konami said:
Data Pack 3’s kit updates will bring the latest licensed designs up to date, and includes 15 of the new kits that will premiere during the UEFA EURO 2016 competition, including those of match officials. Updated kits include hosts France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Turkey, Iceland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Croatia, Albania, England, Portugal and Wales – the latter of which features Gareth Bale, cover star for KONAMI’s UEFA EURO 2016 content.
Club kits across both Europe and South America will also be updated, from Udinese and Empoli in the Italian League, FC Groningen and Willem II in the Dutch Eredivisie, La Liga’s Espanyol and Eibar sides and 10 second-tier Liga Adelante sides. The new UEFA Champions League strips for FC Groningen, Marseilles, Sporting Lisbon, and AS Saint-Etienne will also be recreated; while 14 South American sides from the Brazilian and Argentinian sides will be updated, including Flamengo, Corinthians, and Union de Sante Fe.
The kits for England, France, Croatia, Turkey, and Portugal will be available as free DLC before the tournament begins on June 10.
Wait, there’s more #PES2016 #myClub goodness. Everyone who logs in gets a 10,000 GP bonus. Happy #PESday!

On top of the UEFA content, today’s PES 2016 update added 199 new player faces, refined the Player ID so individual players boast the same movements and ability of their real-life counterparts, refined the Team ID system so teams line up in their favorite formations and playing patterns, added new boot and ball styles to the main game, and adjusted the ratings of over 1,400 players to reflect their overall mid-season performances, with Jamie Vardy, Kingsley Coman, Dimitri Payet, Douglas Costa, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Riyad Mahrez, and others seeing a rise.
If you don’t have PES 2016 yet, a standalone version of the game and UEFA Euro 2016 content will be available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in North America (digital) and Europe (retail and digital) on April 21.

Ranking God of War

Ranking the Best and Worst of the God of War Series
-
God of War: Ascension
Kratos' most recent adventure wasn't his greatest. God of War: Ascension is still a very good time, but it just felt like more of the same. Even the addition of multiplayer didn't make this feel like a fresh entry to the series. Here's to hoping that the next game changes things up in a bigger way.
-
God of War
While it certainly wowed in 2005, the same can't be said today. Since it's the first game in the series, it makes sense that God of War is rough around the edges, and has aged more poorly than more recent entries. Some of the puzzles are more of a hassle than clever, and the level design can be tedious at times. While it's by far the most important game, it's simply not the best.
-
God of War: Chains of Olympus
God of War: Chains of Olympus was a revelation on the PlayStation Portable. Players got to experience a full-blown console like experience on the go, and not a watered down version. Ready at Dawn did a fantastic job with each of the two portable games, but Chains of Olympus is the weaker of the two.
-
God of War: Ghost of Sparta
Ready at Dawn was one of the PlayStation Portable's top developers, and God of War: Ghost of Sparta is their crowning achievement. The portable adventure told a more personal tale about Kratos than other entries have, and it was fascinating learning more about the enigmatic hero. It also featured some of the most fun skills in a God of War game which manages to get it into the top 3.
-
God of War III
Kratos' first HD adventure was a great one. God of War III is graphically stunning, especially in the PlayStation 4 remastered version, and features some of the most epic moments in the series. Memorable boss fights, and a great ending scene brings this to number two on our list.
-
God of War II
The last God of War game that David Jaffe worked on is also the best in the series. God of War II featured a much better story than the original game, and managed to build upon it mechanically. Everything that was good about God of War was great in God of War II.
