  Yesterday, Microsoft announced that the next installment of the Dead Rising saga was coming to Xbox One. Even though the news leaked like a speared zombie, I was excited to learn more about Dead Rising 4. Today I got to play a quick demo, where I snapped a few pictures, ripped off a few dozen heads, and pummeled some zombies with Christmas-present boxing gloves.

• Watch Dogs 2 Feels So Much Better Than the First

  14-06-2016 21:08
  
  Within 60 seconds, I realized that I was going to put a whole mess of time into Watch Dogs 2.
  For one, its setting speaks to my heart. "Well this is weird," was my first thought as I opened up Watch Dogs 2's map of San Francisco, a city I've lived in for the past 8 years and know as well as any place on Earth. The topography was so incredibly familiar -- the bridges, North Bay, Cupertino, each individual neighborhood of SF itself.
  As I bummed around places like Coit Tower, The Embarcadero,

• Ghost Recon: Wildlands Is Tom Clancy Meets GTA

  14-06-2016 21:05
  
  Ubisoft describes Ghost Recon: Wildlands as its largest action adventure ever and, perched in the cabin of a hovering chopper with the Bolivian landscape stretching out on all sides below me, I’m in no position to argue. There is certainly a grand sense of scale here.
  Ubisoft’s own Far Cry games are perhaps the obvious comparison in this case (Bohemia Interactive’s ARMA series might be another, although Wildlands opts for accessible, mainstream action over unforgiving military

There's just no dressing that up. As we got to see in yesterday's trailer for the campaign, For Honor's various factions have been at each other's throats since time immemorial, and Apollyan, the narrator and apparent orchestrator of the continued strife is bent on ensuring that the blood keeps flowing.

  For a certain breed of stranger fan, beyond the pomp of Microsoft's philosophical marketeering and Sony's glorious assault of new titles, one little sentence amidst Monday’s gamut of E3 press conferences will have been enough to spin them into a fever.
  As Knights fought Samurai, and Samurai fought Vikings, and Vikings sort of stood there and looked grumpy at having so many muscles, a voice mentioned "a thousand years of war". In the space of a few syllables, For Honor, the dumb high concep

  After nearly 10 years in development, Final Fantasy XV’s coming out party feels overdue. At a glance, the real-time action in trailers (so far) looks like a departure from the series’ roots, but don’t be fooled: the core themes of friendship, deep characterizations, party customization, and drama-filled storylines that have been a part of the 29 year-old franchise are all here. Each chapter in the blockbuster RPG series has taken a chance on key ideas. FFX discarded the popular
