E3 2013 Impressions: Xbox One
With the ever growing list of negative features and functionality, Microosft really need to go above and beyond to make people want to buy the Xbox One. At this point, I’m not convinced.

With the ever growing list of negative features and functionality, Microosft really need to go above and beyond to make people want to buy the Xbox One. At this point, I’m not convinced.
The visual style and the concept of a city in the clouds, combined with what was sure to be a solid story, had me yearning for this game for quite literally, years.
This is not only a great Tomb Raider game, it's an excellent action adventure game, and one that will likely be on many "top games of 2013" lists come December.
It's technically impressive, delivers an entertaining and engaging story, and is simply a hell of a lot of fun to play!
I have to hand it to Treyarch. They really delivered this year, and have made Black Ops II a stand-out game in this long running series.
Overall, I didn't enjoy Dishonored all that much. Its slow pace and obvious story left a lot to be desired.
Dialogue from the films, open world exploration, fetch side-quests, and object forging make it stand out among the crowd.
NFS: Most Wanted (2012) is a better game than the original in every regard, and one of the few racing games I've seen through to completion in recent years.
2012 was a tough year for me, for many reasons. But one thing that continued to put a smile on my face and fuel my fire, was music.
I would have liked to have seen things play out differently in the end, but all in all, The Walking Dead is an excellent experience like no other and should not be missed.
Halo 4 is definitely still a Halo game through-and-through, but 343i's refinements have shaped it into something a bit more magical, and a heck of a lot more enjoyable.
Nothing short of frustrating, and often infuriating. It pains me to admit, that one of my most anticipated games of 2012, Assassin's Creed III, is a failure of epic proportions.
