  1. This year's E3 looks to get better and better with anticipation building up around many titles, most importantly though the next Halo game. Phil Spencer replied to a fan on Twitter today, saying: "Halo news will be coming at E3. 343i has a great plan in place, will be cool to share with everyone." Now whether this Halo news is for a supposed Halo 2 Anniversary or Halo 5 no one really knows. But recent reports from around the gaming world have been leaning heavily towards Halo 2 Anniversary: With reports of Steve Downes confirming Halo 2's release then quickly retracting the comment and Waypoint tweeting a Halo 2 Master Chief figure that includes a card for "unlockable content." But there has still been no official word from Microsoft or 343 industries specifically confirming Halo 5 or Halo 2 Anniversary for 2014. We only know, "Halo news will be coming at E3." What kind of plan does 343i have in place? Is this E3 news going to be about Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary, maybe even both? Leave your thoughts in the comments bleow. SOURCE: IGN
  2. Hello everyone, if you remember I recently did my Top Ten Best Games of 2014 list highlighting the good this year had to offer. I’d like to point out that while this is the Top Ten Worst, not all games on here are absolutely abysmal. There weren’t many standout horrible games this year, more or less most were mediocre, not deserving of a best spot but also nowhere near the worst, so there had to be some cuts here and there. I will point out if a game in the first few on here may become decent through time or such, but anyway, let’s start! Number 10! Number 9! Number 8! Number 7! Number 6! Number 5! Number 4! Number 3! Number 2! Number 1! Alright, that's 2014, do let me know down below what you agree/disagree with, what you would've added or removed, and general feedback. Something on this list that you like and I don't, that's good, at least someone got enjoyment out of it! Thanks for reading guys.

  12. So, my guess is that it will start off like the 98 movie, a huge nuclear explosion due to testing. My guess is that the company also cloned dinosaurs since G is a mutant dino. That might explain the big bones in the second trailer. My guess is that they studied it, but perhaps got out of control. They try to kill it, like shown in the second trailer. Thinking they killed it, they actually only made it stronger. During the present Byran's character researches strange radiation and creature sightings, only to find Godzilla. Godzilla is mutated, perhaps it needs a nuclear source of power to live...My guess for its rampage is that it is feeding on power plants all over the world. As for the MUTO, they are probably made like G, mutated by the same explosion from the company. These MUTOs probably will make smaller versions of themselves for the soldiers to fight. Which may explain why Byran's character was running, they got loose. His wife was shown I believe, she probably closed the door to stop them from spreading. Godzilla feeds on more power, eventually fighting the first MUTO. He of curse is probably going to kill it, then fight the last one. That one may absorb nuclear power to gain size, but is probably gonna die. The humans form a bomb, using it on G thinking they killed it. Only to see it has lived, appearing from the dust like in the trailer. Then perhaps goes back in the water. But the humans know he may come back.... How was that? Here are the trailers if you wanna look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2l4Y_7bmlE&feature=player_detailpage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBwsUD7jYCI

  17. This year's E3 looks to get better and better with anticipation building up around many titles, most importantly though the next Halo game. Phil Spencer replied to a fan on Twitter today, saying: "Halo news will be coming at E3. 343i has a great plan in place, will be cool to share with everyone." Now whether this Halo news is for a supposed Halo 2 Anniversary or Halo 5 no one really knows. But recent reports from around the gaming world have been leaning heavily towards Halo 2 Anniversary: With reports of Steve Downes confirming Halo 2's release then quickly retracting the comment and Waypoint tweeting a Halo 2 Master Chief figure that includes a card for "unlockable content." But there has still been no official word from Microsoft or 343 industries specifically confirming Halo 5 or Halo 2 Anniversary for 2014. We only know, "Halo news will be coming at E3." What kind of plan does 343i have in place? Is this E3 news going to be about Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary, maybe even both? Leave your thoughts in the comments bleow. SOURCE: IGN View full article
  18. #ILoveBuns2014 LETS MAKE IT A THING!
  19. Source-LatinoPost With 2014 almost here, many fans are eager to see what sort of games Sony and Microsoft will be releasing on to their new next gen platforms, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Especially important to gamers is seeing what exclusive games will be coming to the new systems, as these games could sway public opinion on the consoles and convince gamers to pick one over the other when they are more widely available. To highlight the upcoming 2014 exclusive games, here are the top five games in the category for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. 5. Infamous: Second Son (PlayStation 4)- This game seeks to take the franchise to a new level, as the new console hardware will allow the game to have an even bigger and better open world and even more insane superpowers for users to play around in. Throw in a more charismatic protagonist and the game could be a crown jewel in the PlayStation 4 launch window lineup when it is released March 21. 4. Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (Xbox One)- While this game is also being released on the Xbox 360 and PC, the Xbox One version of the game is the definitive one for fans due to the inclusion of offline co-op and Boss Mode. The game seeks to mix Plants vs. Zombies with online shooters, and the game looks to be the sleeper hit of 2014. 3. Uncharted 4 (PlayStation 4)- While Naughty Dog has only confirmed that they are working on an Uncharted game, without saying it will be the fourth game in the series, it is enough to earn the game a place on this list. Considering that the Uncharted games on the PlayStation 4 set a new standard for cinematic gameplay when they were released, having the series come to the PlayStation 4 and do the same thing seems to be a given for the new year. 2. Titanfall (Xbox One)- This game, due in March, seeks to merge single player story telling with multiplayer online gameplay, and so far the game looks to have done that perfectly. If Titanfall is able to do everything that it has promised to do, it could lead to industry staples like Call of Duty completely changing their formula and risk becoming outdated. But besides all that, the game will allow users to fight it out on massive maps with different mech warriors as well as on foot, which could be worth the price of admission all by itself. 1. Halo 5 (Xbox One)- The Halo series was confirmed to be getting a new game in 2014 for the Xbox One, but Microsoft did not reveal if the game is indeed Halo 5. Nonetheless, the series gets a pass for this, as any sort of new Halo title is enough to cause gamers to sit up and take notice. While many people will be watching this game closely to see how it compares to Destiny, the new game from former Halo developers Bungie, there is no reason to doubt that the new Halo game will continue the franchise's stellar record

  22. The year 2013 was full of many great games and some disappointing moments as well. From the launch of new console such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to the release of critically acclaimed masterpieces such as Grand Theft Auto 5, Bioshock Infinite, and The Last of Us, 2013 will go down as one of the biggest in gaming history. The following year could also be a big year for gamers, and we bring you the top five games to look out for in 2014. 5. Watch Dogs- This game was supposed to come out in 2013, but Ubisoft delayed the game into 2014 due to quality concerns. Despite this setback, Ubisoft is very bullish on their new IP, and believes that the game, which allows users to hack into various security systems around a futuristic Chicago, could be a game of the year contender. Based on what the company has already revealed about the game, this could very well be the case. 4. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare- This may be a dark horse game for many, but the game, which will come out on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC, may become the sleeper hit of 2014. Taking the Plants vs. Zombies formula and bringing real time multiplayer action into it should produce some of the wackiest yet chaotic matches gamers can expect in the New Year. 3. Untitled Halo Game- Microsoft revealed at E3 2013 that a new Halo game was coming, but did not clarify if the game would be Halo 5 or a spinoff title. Either way, the game should be one of the biggest in 2014, and now that 343 Industries has Halo 4 under their belt they should be able to deliver a true next-gen Halo experience that will continue the success of the franchise. 2. Super Smash Bros. 4- This could be the killer app that Nintendo has been waiting for on the Wii U and 3DS as well. While not much is known about the game, the very mention of a new Super Smash Bros. game is enough for fans to get hyped for the 2014 game, and with almost 20 characters already confirmed for the game fans are already drooling over the potential matchups. In addition, Nintendo gives players screenshots of the game almost daily, so up until the game's release date fans can keep getting updates on Super Smash Bros. 4. 1. Destiny- Ever since Bungie split from Microsoft and the Halo franchise, fans have been patiently waiting for their next project. Destiny seeks to not only be a great game, but also will try to reinvent the shooter genre. With RPG elements and a huge world for gamers to explore, plus the ability to casually stroll into another person's game and form groups on the fly, Destiny could be the game that people remember most in 2014. http://www.latinopost.com/articles/2387/20131223/top-5-anticipated-games-2014-ps4-xbox-one-wii-u.htm
  23. Source-LatinoPost With 2014 almost here, many fans are eager to see what sort of games Sony and Microsoft will be releasing on to their new next gen platforms, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Especially important to gamers is seeing what exclusive games will be coming to the new systems, as these games could sway public opinion on the consoles and convince gamers to pick one over the other when they are more widely available. To highlight the upcoming 2014 exclusive games, here are the top five games in the category for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. 5. Infamous: Second Son (PlayStation 4)- This game seeks to take the franchise to a new level, as the new console hardware will allow the game to have an even bigger and better open world and even more insane superpowers for users to play around in. Throw in a more charismatic protagonist and the game could be a crown jewel in the PlayStation 4 launch window lineup when it is released March 21. 4. Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (Xbox One)- While this game is also being released on the Xbox 360 and PC, the Xbox One version of the game is the definitive one for fans due to the inclusion of offline co-op and Boss Mode. The game seeks to mix Plants vs. Zombies with online shooters, and the game looks to be the sleeper hit of 2014. 3. Uncharted 4 (PlayStation 4)- While Naughty Dog has only confirmed that they are working on an Uncharted game, without saying it will be the fourth game in the series, it is enough to earn the game a place on this list. Considering that the Uncharted games on the PlayStation 4 set a new standard for cinematic gameplay when they were released, having the series come to the PlayStation 4 and do the same thing seems to be a given for the new year. 2. Titanfall (Xbox One)- This game, due in March, seeks to merge single player story telling with multiplayer online gameplay, and so far the game looks to have done that perfectly. If Titanfall is able to do everything that it has promised to do, it could lead to industry staples like Call of Duty completely changing their formula and risk becoming outdated.
