Injustice: Gods Among Us


Injustice: Gods Among Us, is a fighting game based upon the fictional universe of DC Comics Injustice: Gods Among Us was released on April 16, 2013 in North America, and is scheduled to be released on April 17 in Australia and April 19 in Europe for the PlayStation 3, Wii U, and Xbox 360. The release of the Wii U version of Injustice was delayed in the United Kingdom until April 26, 2013.
The gameplay for Injustice: Gods Among Us involves one-on-one matches within a two dimensional plane, although characters and backgrounds are rendered in a three dimensional fashion. Each match consists of one round; however, each player has two health bars. The game uses a four-button control layout of light, medium, and heavy attacks, alongside a "character trait" button that activates a unique ability or attack designed to showcase each character.[ For instance, Superman's trait provides a temporary stat boost, while Batman's trait summons a swarm of robotic bats. The creative director of NetherRealm Studios, stated that characters roughly fall into two categories: "power characters", who rely on brute strength and innate abilities, and "gadget characters", who use weapons, items, and other external mechanisms to win. There are many characters to fight with, they are:-
·         Aquaman
·         Ares
·         Bane
·         Batman
·         Black Adam
·         Catwoman
·         Cyborg
·         Deathstroke
·         Doomsday
·         The Flash
·         Green Arrow
·         Green Lantern
·         Harley Quinn
·         Hawkgirl
·         The Joker
·         Killer Frost
·         Lex Luthor
·         Lobo
·         Nightwing
·         Raven
·         Shazam
·         Sinestro
·         Solomon Grundy
·         Superman
·         Wonder Woman
 This game is really the one to get for gamers who love the Mortal Kombat/ Tekken sort of gameplay.

GTA 5 The best of them all.

GTA V is to be set in fictional Los Santos in the state of San Andreas and its surrounding areas, based on modern-day Los Angeles and Southern California. A rendition of Los Santos was previously featured as one of three cities in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, released in 2004.
According to Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V is destined to be their biggest open world game to date.The game will concentrate on "the pursuit of the almighty dollar".
 In a break with recent tradition, GTA V will feature three playable protagonists.
Grand Theft Auto V was officially announced on 25 October 2011, after much speculation.The debut trailer for the game was unveiled on 2 November 2011.
A highly anticipated game, GTA V is due for release on 17 September 2013, for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Releases for the PC and Wii U are being considered by Rockstar, but have not been officially announced.
GTA V's single-player story is told through three player-controlled protagonists. They are Michael, Trevor and Franklin, criminals whose stories interconnect as they complete missions together. During story missions, the player can switch between the protagonists as they work together to accomplish an objective.
Outside of missions, the player is free to swap between the protagonists and explore the game's open world, which includes a fully-fledged ecosystem. The camera zooms out to a "Google Earth-style" perspective when switching characters and then drops into wherever the chosen character is. Even when the player is not controlling them, each character will still go about their own business across Los Santos. As any of the protagonists, the player can engage in activities such as yoga, triathlons, Jet Skiing, base-jumping, tennis, golf, scuba diving or go to the gym. Each character will have unique hobbies, which can be completed with the protagonists' friends, but the dating system from GTA IV does not return.
 Multiplayer will feature "Crews" similar to Max Payne 3. The new Social Club functionality will connect play across multiple titles, starting with Max Payne 3 and GTA V. By playing both games' multiplayer, crews that the player set up in one will be carried over to the other. GTA V will let players form private crews with friends, or join public crews. Players can be a member of up to five at the same time, and completing tasks as a crew will gain experience points for the player. In late 2012, Rockstar said that "refining open-world multiplayer into something really special" had been a huge focus in the development of GTA V.

Watchdogs- Ubisoft's next big venture

Watch Dogs is an upcoming open world action - adventure video game, developed and published by Ubisoft on Windows, PS3, PS4, Wii U and the Xbox 360. Watch Dogs centers on the player's ability to hack into various electronic systems, either to obtain and control information or to destroy those devices completely at specific times. The game was first unveiled during Ubisoft's press conference at E3 2013.



The storyline of Watch Dogs game is built around the concept of information warfare, data being interconnected, and the world's increasing use of technology—questioning who exactly runs the computers they depend on. The game is set in an alternate reality version of Chicago, Illinois, which is one of many cities to feature a supercomputer known as a "CtOS" (Central Operating System). The system controls almost every piece of technology in the city, and contains information on all of the city's residents and activities which can be used for various purposes. In the game's universe, the Northeast Black out of 2003 was found to be caused by a hacker, prompting the development of CtOS. The game will follow an anti- hero named Aiden Pearce, a highly skilled hacker described as a person who uses both "fists and wits." The gameplay demo shown at E3 depicted Aiden's attempt to assassinate a media mogul named Joseph DeMarco, who had been wrongly acquitted on charges of murder.The game features an elusive online multiplayer element in which another player can control surveillance cameras in an attempt to hack the main player. 

I believe this game is gonna be the next big thing by Ubisoft.

Destiny- Set to be the Best.

The Newly revealed First person shooter, destiny (developed by Bungie), promises to be one of the best ever. By the legendary creators of Halo and Publishers of Call Of Duty. With an un- paralleled variety of FPS gameplay in a newly imagined universe full of action, adventure and surprises and what promises to be an incredible story set.
The game is focused on the multiplayer interaction rather than the story. We don't know much about it yet, but it is a game to wait for. Here is the basis of the story -
Destiny is set seven hundred years into the future in a post-apocalyptic setting. In a universe where humans had spread out and colonised planets in the Solar System, an event known as "the Collapse" saw the mysterious dissolution of these colonies and left mankind teetering on the brink of extinction. The only known survivors of the Collapse are those living on Earth, who were saved by "the Traveler", a white, spherical celestial body whose appearance centuries before had enabled humans to reach the stars. The Traveler now hovers above the last remaining human city, and its presence allows the "Guardians of the City"—the last defenders of the human race—the ability to wield an unknown power.
Upon mankind's first attempt to repopulate and reconstruct after the Collapse, it is discovered that hostile alien races have occupied mankind's former colonies and civilizations. The player takes on the role of a Guardian of the City, and is tasked with investigating and destroying these threats before humanity is completely wiped out by them.
