Anticipated Games for 2013

This was a great year for gaming. There were many achievements and upsets throughout the industry. This year I am going to dedicate more time to get you guys more news, reviews, and more. I would like to make a highlight of some of the all the games that people are excited for in the New Year, 2013.

The Last of Us



First off, Naughty Dog gave us a big surprise when they blew away the crowd at E3 with a great showing of The Last of Us. Naughty Dog is well known for their Jak and Daxter and their Rachet and Clank series. Those games were never disappointing. When they showed the first official trailer of The Last of Us, some hype started up about the game. Although the trailer didn't show any game-play  it had so much emotion, so much happening at once. People were wondering, "What will this game bring to the world of gaming?" Well during this year's E3 Naughty Dog showed us what they can really do. The walk through was not like the normal ones such as Call of Duty where it is just some guy running around on easy and shooting people without a care. The whole walk through had to be planned out. What really got the fans so hyped was the amount of AI interaction is in the game. The little girl helps you when you are in need of desperate help, the enemies know when you are out of ammo, and there are multiple ways of completing each level if you plan it out the right way. This does not seem like the normal run and gun. It seems more strategic. planning each move, getting around or close to enemies without being hurt. Gamers definitely need a break from the overload of FPS's out there. One of the games i absolutely can't wait for.


Grand Theft Auto 5


So GTA has always been one of the best free roaming shooters. Many people claim the GTA: San Andreas was the best GTA Rockstar has given us. Then came GTA IV. This game was a great improvement for some, but a failure to others. It may have had more realistic game style. But that took the fun out of what GTA was all about. Although there is some debate on the fourth game in the franchise, GTA V is anticipated by millions. There hasn't been any gameplay shown, but from the trailers there are hidden hints that give you a taste of the story and the world itself. The developers claim the world is going to be larger than they made in any other game. Rumors have it that you play as 3 different main characters, each with their own story. Some say it spans from San Andrea to Vice City. Will this be a big hit that blows the other GTA's away? Or will it be another upset to some?



Bioshock Infinite

This is my personal highly anticipated game. I love the engaging satiric storylines that make you think differently on some people's extreme ideas. The original Bioshock blew my mind with fun gameplay, intense story, mind blowing plotwists. It is in my heart the best story in any game. Then Bioshock 2 came along. I was so excited for that. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as it should have been. The gameplay was improved, the storyline was decent, but the game was too short and didn't have enough for players to continue playing it. There was multiplayer. It was a good multiplayer but I believe if they worked on the single player instead, it would have been a better polished game. Now Bioshock Infinite. When this game was announced i was thinking "Let's hope they improve from the lst one." And that is exactly what they are doing. They threw out a few amazing gameplay trailers. There are so many new spells, enemies, characters, and weapons and they aren't even finished making it. They held off showing anything at E3 because they wanted to spend that time perfecting the game.
