Long before Deathloop, Arkane made a name for itself with Dishonored. Released in at the tail-end of the Xbox console cycle, Dishonored was praised at the time for its impeccable and striking design that helps bring its setting to life.
Read our Dishonored review. The game was released in November and few could have predicted the bonafide phenomenon that it would become. Directed by Todd Howard and the winner of many Game of the Year awards, Skyrim was praised in part for its open-ended structure that allowed players to venture through a fantastical world full of monsters and magic. Many believe Skyrim remains Bethesda's best RPG ever, and as for why Bethesda keeps releasing it on more and more platforms, well, we only have ourselves to blame.
Read our Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review. Long before Epic Games was known for Fortnite, the studio created the Gears of War franchise, with Cliff Bleszinski as its designer and director. Released one year into the Xbox 's lifecycle in November , Gears of War was a stunner with its cover combat, co-op support, and completely over-the-top action involving fighting giant enemies.
Gears of War also introduced the world to the gun-with-a-chainsaw, the Lancer, which would go on to become iconic for the series and shooter games overall.
Epic eventually sold Gears of War to Microsoft, which is now developing the series via The Coalition studio. Read our Gears of War review. The game's journey actually began back in , when it was released on Xbox A stunning display of creative and technical achievement, GTA V is remembered by many as one of the great games of all time--and certainly one of the most commercially successful, too.
In addition to the wonderful open-world campaign, GTA V has remained relevant thanks to Grand Theft Auto Online, the massive multiplayer playground that is essentially its own game at this point.
Read our Grand Theft Auto V review. Another one of the great games of , Bungie's Halo 3 is revered for its multiplayer mode that many still see as the high watermark for the series. The single-player campaign was also one of the best in franchise history. The game also introduced the map- and mode-making toolset, Forge, which would go on to be a defining feature of the series. It would be among the final Halo games developed by Bungie before it exited the series and Microsoft's Industries took control.
If you're curious where Halo 3 lands on our overall list, check out our Halo mainline series ranking. Read our Halo 3 review. The four-player co-op shooter takes place after a zombie outbreak and your job is to take them out with your squad mates in a variety of settings. The game had more than just mindless zombie hordes to overcome; it also featured numerous different zombie types, including the horrifying Witch and the hulking Boomer.
Who could forget Limbo? The tone of Limbo is eerie, and the fact that the small child you control can, and often does, die in horrible ways in this black-and-white side-scrolling game is something few who played the game will ever forget. The game's ending led to many different interpretations of what actually happened and what it all means, and that mystery is part of what made the game so memorable.
Read our Limbo review. You've figured it out. You'll scribble it down on paper--real paper, like a freaking archaeologist--and feel like you've just cracked an ancient code. And once you crack that code, you'll realize you have the pieces to crack another. And then another. What begins as a basic platformer with a cute, retro gimmick evolves into something absolutely massive, and almost violently rewarding.
No other game simulates its sport like NBA 2K Commentary, courts, player likenesses, animations, licenses--everything in this game is pristine. And while the visuals of the version pale in comparison to the next-gen offerings, it still looks incredible. Thing about NBA 2K14 is that its more than just gloss: theres a superb, deep game underneath it all.
My Team has come on leaps and bounds too, and the live data 2K14 gets from the NBA ensures that each game you play is as realistic and up to date as possible. If you love basketball, you can probably move this game up the list maybe by about 45 places. From the moment you choose your name which is, regardless of what you write, changed to "Douchebag" by the Grand Wizard of the Kingdom of the Koopa Keep, Eric Cartman to the final battle that you may very well fight with a flaming dildo , you're met with a nonstop barrage of South Park jokes, references, and cameos.
It's almost overwhelming at times, but it's handled in such a way that you don't need to be a fan of the show to understand the humor. But where it's most successful is in being able to both make fun of games while also being an incredibly good one--too often, satire feels jealous and malicious, but when the game is better than the ones it's making fun of, the otherwise brutal comedy that is South Park feels more In that, The Stick of Truth is a love letter to the genre it lampoons, and an experience that was totally worth the lengthy wait.
The Fable series has always offered a compelling blend of dark, adult fantasy and goofy-but-clever humor, but the now-well-worn franchise has never delivered on its fascinating gameplay promises quite as completely as with Fable 2.
Compared to other action-RPGs, its quite simple, but what it lacks in mechanical complexity it makes up for with deep and rewarding player interaction. Sure, you've got all your adventuring and your combat, but what about getting married? And then, immediately following, getting married to someone else and letting your two spouses meet to see what will happen?
Its not without issue, but there's genuine novelty in these systems, and, moreover, their consequences. Plenty of games let you make choices, but it's a rare thing for a game to make you feel their weight in practical terms. Help a bandit rob a shopkeeper? Those multiple spouses? They might end up killing each other, leaving the city to take your children. Show me another RPG that's as depressing, and still as much of a good time as Fable 2. Most shooters are all about the GUNS!
Too often they plop you in the middle of world-threatening war and request that you perform one simple task: Walk forward and hammer the trigger.
