I'm a bit distracted this week and haven't had time to play the 2 games I was considering writing a review for. The first one was Shadow of Mordor that came out this past Tuesday. From what little I've played with it's reminiscent of the Batman Arkham games in terms of fighting style and free roam.
The second one I really wanted to do but I felt that I needed to play more of it to do it justice was the Beta for The Crew. The Crew is an MMO car racing game with some story (it has more story in the first 10 minutes than Destiny, ha! take that Destiny!) where you and your crew take down other crews around the USA. You can drive from coast to coast on or off road, upgrade and customize your cars, race against other people, and play some revenge story that you don't care about. Like I said, I need to play more of it but I thought I would at least give you guys a game trailer and a link to the Beta to try it out for yourself.
Now that the summer slump of new game
is over, it is time to focus in on the up coming game for fall and
christmas season. Already September has pushed out peaked my
interest in up coming games that have released and soon to be. Here
are a few that I'm going to buy or have already purchased.
Dance Central Spotlight (Xbox
One) – Out Now
I've been waiting for over a year for
the new installment to come out for the One and it is worth it. The
improved motion tracking with the kinect is so much better, I love
the new and improved Fitness section. The routines change and keep
you on your toes every time you play the same song. For $10 the game
comes with only 10 songs; some people will not like the fact that it
has become a micro-transaction game, but I see it as a way to truly
customize your playlist and dance to the song you like. I recommend
it for those who want a more dance routine workout or a game night
game.
Minecraft (Xbox
One, PS4) – Out Now
It's
finally out on the next gen consoles after months of waiting and
pushed back released dates (the One edition was released a day early
along side of PS4). The worlds are bigger, textures looks about the
same from the previous gen, and and you can import you already
created worlds so you don’t have to recreate them! Hours of soul
sucking commence!
Destiny
(Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3) - September 9
One
of the first big titles to kick off the Fall games. I'm still
curious and on the fence about this game, interested to see if they
can flush out a story. You can read my thought on the Beta here:
Bitchn'
Fridays: Destiny Beta Review
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
(Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, PC) - September 30
This
game seem interesting to me, an open world where you can choose what
type of game style you want to play sound amazing. Check out Rooster
Teeth demo of the game.
