HALO 4
“Flogging a dead cow.” “Milking.” A lot of you think the Halo series is milked, and you’re pretty much right. A lot of you also think that Halo 4 is just a cash cow. That’s where you’re wrong. We don’t know much about Halo 4 yet- only that it’ll focus more on Cortana and Master Chief than ever before in the series, and that the same action we’ve loved in the Halo series for ten years will make a return. But that’s all. There’re a lot of doubts- will the new developers handle it well? Will Master Chief turn into a brooding asshole? Will 343 do justice to the awesome universe of Halo? Well, we don’t know. But we expect it to be a very high quality game. And from we’ve seen so far, it might just be that.
FABLE: THE JOURNEY
The Fable series is at an all time low right now, with Fable III failing to live up to fans’ expectations and Fable: The Journey making an unimpressive first appearance. But since then, Peter Molyneux has said a lot about the upcoming Kinect-only Fable title that has got us excited. We’re excited to see how the Fable series will work with full motion controls, and how it’ll pick itself up and go back to its glory days. The Journey might not see the series going back to an all time high as it did with Fable II, bit it might be the start of something new.
RYSE
Of all the upcoming Kinect games, Ryse seems to be one of the only genuinely interesting games. Developed by Crytek, Ryse is a first person action adventure game which focuses on a Roman warrior and his exploits in the time of the fall of the Roman Empire. The premise is certainly interesting, and it might just make a lot of hardcore Xbox 360 owners want to get a Kinect. We’re definitely excited about it, and about how Crytek will do justice to the motion sensing tech. Not much is know about the game yet, but it’s E3 video is enough to get anybody excited about it.
