Xbox Store Today: Handball 16, Black Friday 2015 Weekend Deals
Did you know that the sport of handball is ridiculously popular in Europe? Yes, the same continent that loves a sport where you can only use your feet also really loves a sport where you can only use your hands (I think, I haven’t played handball since high school). But I could get use my Xbox One or Xbox 360 to get back into the sport as Handball 16 is now available to download on both platforms. Handball 16 features all 68 teams from the three biggest European leagues “fully redesigned controls for a more accessible game experience.”
If the idea of virtual handball doesn’t appeal to you, there’s always Microsoft’s Black Friday Sale on the Xbox Games Store. Brand new Weekend Deals were added to the list today including Batman: Arkham Knight, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Mad Max, and more.

PictoParty Review: Drawing Up Good Times
To say that the Wii had a wealth of party games would be an understatement. Nintendo’s motion-controlled system stood out as as a veritable Mecca for games that required a large group of people to play. Unfortunately, as the Wii aged and software sales dried up, so did the party games. That, coupled with the rather unsatisfying sales of the Wii U, meant that those types of games became a rare commodity on the system.
