Whether you're a hard-core gamer or just somebody looking for fun, you've probably noticed all the great video games that are due to come out. From Resident Evil 6 to Pokemon Black and White 2, there's a lot of great games coming at ya in the latter half of 2012. I'll give a basic rundown on some of the seasons most popular and influential games-to-come.
One of the major games coming out this fall is Assassin's Creed 3. The newest release in this famous series is one that will not disappoint. Placed in the time of the American Revolution, you now bring the fight to the classic antagonists, Templars, as a young assassin named Connor. This game is an obvious attempt from Ubisoft to sort of "shake up" the Assassin's Creed series, as it offers a classic components from the previous games in the series while bringing a new characters, settings, weapons and abilities. From fighting bears to wading through battles in the Revolution, this game will be a whole new experience. Nervous about all this? Don't worry, Assassin's Creed fans: even with all the change, you can still hide out in the iconic haystacks.
Assassin's Creed 3
Resident Evil 6
Ah, Resident Evil. The name reminds me of my days in Resident Evil 4, sitting back in front of my television, relaxing, and blowing the heads off of the restless undead. Yes the zombies are back in Capcom's most anticipated game of the season, and it sure as hell will be epic. Its been 10 years since the infamous Raccon City incident, and the world is facing a bio-terrorist attack. All over the world hordes of the undead are attacking, and nowhere is safe. Leon Kennedy, a Raccoon City survivor and classic protagonist, has come to the U.S. to help protect his old friend the President from the biological terror, and to make "his most important decision ever". Meanwhile, Chris Redfield is going to China to combat the attacks there, proving that nowhere is safe in this brave new world. With all new weapons, story, and a new combat system, Resident Evil 6 is a game I will most definitely get. And get this: you are now able to shoot while moving. In 2012. Amazing how games progress these days.
Black Ops 2
The biggest and most influential game series in the present day is back once again. Yes, Call of Duty, with all the love from its fans and hate from its critics, is back. Though called inferior to other games due to repetitive everything, overused guns, and overall lack of quality, it is still the biggest game franchise there is. Placed as a sequel to the original Black Ops, the new game is a futuristic and new world, with new guns (not really) to new multiplayer (not really), to a new game which is obviously not a re-named and re-textured Black Ops (not really). Right now, Black Ops looks like an actually good game, but then so did MW3. The only reason I would brave the multiplayer servers full of 12 year olds and rage quitters is for the new zombies mode. This mode promises to have huge 8 player maps (finally no more being trapped in Five!), new weapons and an actually fun time. the Zombie mode is the only good reason to get this game, aside from riding a horsey, as shown in the trailer. I really like horseys.Halo 4
This is it. Halo fanboys like myself rejoice, as Master Chief is back. With new guns, vehicles, story, and enemies, 343 Industries is cranking out an amazing Halo game. Although some long time fans of the series see the game being turned into a COD like ripoff, it it still the innovative franchise we have come to know and love. With new, trippy enemies like the Promethians and the old nemisis of the Covenant back, who knows what Halo fanboys will have in store for them?
