3. Fable

Peter Molyneux has become something of a joke to some gamers. He's become infamous for promising incredible things in his games and failing to deliver on such a level that it's spectacular. Nowhere was this more apparent than with Fable for the Xbox. Peter promised incredible things, like "trees that grow in real time", "rival factions that go to war with you", "characters that age over time" and so on. With all this and more going into one game, Fable had to be one of the best things ever, ri

1. Homefront

Homefront had a lot of promise behind it. Instead of being an ultra-futuristic space shooter or one taking place in a famous historical war, it would take place in the near future and tell the close-to-home story of a battle between scattered U.S. Forces and an oppressive Korean government. It was something different and held a lot of expectations as a new force in FPS gam

While it would be great to see Albion rendered in 4k, a change of scenery from the European-inspired biomes of so many traditional fantasy RPGs would be welcome. The Coral Forest from the recent Monster Hunter: World is a terrific example of a totally new type of game environment that still feels real and plausible within the confines of the world. Given Fables storybook aesthetic, something similarly creative would be awesome to

Scarecrow's fear toxin forces his victims to hallucinate their greatest fears, and that's exactly what happens to Batman in Batman: Arkham Asylum . Scarecrow's toxin tricks Batman into thinking he is trapped in a forever-looping morgue where he is subjected to a slew of horrific images, including his dead parents rising from inside body bags to taunt

This isn't always the fault of the gamers setting high expectations, though. Sometimes the companies behind these games promise great things and just cannot/do not deliver. Other times, something goes wrong and the game isn't as good as it could've been, or deadlines get out of control and a game is rushed out unfinished. For one reason or another, sometimes games just fall victim to h

Unfortunately, that is where the rumor buck stops with the Microsoft press conference, or at least what we can figure to make an appearance. There are still a few Xbox exclusives in the works — like a new Alan Wake or Codename: Kingdoms — but those might not carry enough appeal to warrant a press conference demo or trai

Scary moments in non-horror games can sometimes be even scarier than horror Adventure Games DLC themselves, as they are often unexpected or stand at odds with the tone of the rest of the game. As a result, these scary moments tend to linger with the player long after the game is over, even if the rest of the experience wasn't sc

In this case, the line between the player's character (Wander) and his steed (Agro) is as blurred as possible, with the trusted horse relied upon to take down more than one of the titular colossi. Despite her name, Agro showed a calm loyalty that spoke volumes, and exhibited a sacrifice that is still etched in the memory of all who pla

With all the buzz surrounding Fable 4 online, it is all but assured that Microsoft will have something to announce at E3 in June. Microsoft is expected to have a big showing this year as, saleswise, they lagged far behind Sony in 2017 and this is partly due to their lack of exclusive titles. A big, impressive showing of new games exclusive to Microsoft would make a big impact and such a lineup would have to include Fable

Gears of War has always been known for emotionally impactful trailers, and the Tomorrow trailer for Gears of War 4 is no different. The trailer offers a look into the life of JD Fenix, who must take on the calling of his father 25 years after the events of Gears of War

While gaming's biggest scares can be found in established horror franchises like Resident Evil and Silent Hill , there are plenty of non-horror games with moments that will send chills down players' spines. Sometimes these games have some horror undertones to begin with, and other times they are games that are actually made with children in m

Electronic Arts and DICE broke from the current first-person shooter trend and opted to send players back in time rather than into the future of warfare. Battlefield 1 has been a huge success for the publisher and developer, and continues to garner impressive player numbers across all platfo

Alongside Halo , we anticipate one of Microsoft’s other console exclusives to make an appearance, perhaps from the folks over at Lionhead. Peter Molyneux has always been a strong supporter of the Kinect hardware, so it would be a reasonable guess to assume he might pull out a Fable demo that utilizes Kinect in some

Whether playing with children, performing tricks, or simply frolicking ahead of its master, Fable 2 's Dog remains one of the best simulated we've encountered. Its species is hailed as 'man's best friend,' and over the course of the game, this pup lived up to the ti
