Sunset Overdrive – For Xbox Only

Games

Sunset Overdrive is an open world shooter based in a futuristic city. It’s up to you to destroy mutants and save the city with a huge selection of weapons. The game is open world and you can roam around destroying mutants and showing them exactly what you’re capable of.

The game is very much cartoon-esque and it doesn’t pretend to be a serious thriller. The storyline is quite a typical shooter plot but who cares? The game is designed to be fun, entertaining and actually quite humorous from time to time and it’s one that will have you button bashing from start to finish.

There are different weapons, challenges and clothes, and you can customise your character and take on people online. PS4 gamers may not exactly be missing out on the game of the year, but it’s a fun game and there is plenty of activities.

Need for Speed: Rivals

Games

There are a great deal of games out there that let you choose between the outlaw or the cop, but Need for Speed: Rivals probably does this better than most. There are two completely different storylines and the choice is down to you.

Whether you choose the cop or the racer, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to drive fast cars and you’ll run into plenty of difficult challenges along the way. Some say that the game is quite similar to the previous version Hot Pursuit and that’s true in many ways, yet it’s important to remember the importance of Hot Pursuit because it bought the game back down to earth, back to the level it was once at.

The unlockable cars will get you more excited than ever before, and the graphics have to be up there with some of the most popular racing games. If you never experienced Rivals then make sure you give it a go, because it’s certainly one of the best Ned for Speeds, perhaps the best that’s ever been produced.

Knack – Slowly slipping the Charts

Games

The publicity and media attention surrounding the popular game Knack is coming to a halt, and its position has slipped quite dramatically in the current game charts. The game has that cartoon vibe, but gameplay is fun and enjoyable and that’s all the game is attempting to be.

Knack has a superb skill that allows him to incorporate various substances into his body, such as ice and metal, while the game itself has often been compared to Crash Bandicoot. The storyline may not be the strongest but that’s not what the game is about. It is fun, enjoyable, aimed towards a young audience and it succeeds in that sense.

The game benefitted from a good level of sales, and perhaps more characters, a stronger storyline and a few gameplay improvements can make the next hit even bigger, and one that reaches a wider gaming audience.

3 Activities people didn’t expect in GTA V

Games

GTA V has made name for itself a one of the best selling games of all time, and it still has to be release on next gen consoles. It was expected that many people would buy the game, but not everyone anticipated the number of activities on the game.

Yoga – It’s not something usually associated with a violent video game, but you can learn yoga in GTA V and you may find that it relaxes your character; or make shim worse. There’s even a mission when you have to learn Yoga and it’s fair to say that not many gamers were expecting this activity,

Stock Market – There are plenty of businessmen into the game and it gives you a taste of city life with the option of going into stocks. If you want to make some extra money then shift your brain into business mode and buy some stock.

Cinema – The previous GTA game allowed you to watch some TV, and they certainly took it up a notch in GTA 5. You can go to the cinema, if you’re there for the showing time, and watch a film, and even watch the adverts. There’s The Loneliest Robot and Capolavoro to choose from.

Games to Films

Games

We often hear about game adaptations from films, but there are beginning to be more and more cases of film adaptations from games. Prince of Persia was a big hit in the gaming world, but it did well in cinemas too.

There was also Lara Croft films after the game, while Need for Speed is to be released in cinemas soon, and that made its name as a game. It goes to chow that some games do have some very strong storylines, and even those that don’t like Need for Speed, there’s still the popularity to turn it into a film that people love.

One game that could certainly have a life in a film series is Grand Theft Auto and there are so many different storylines to follow. Yet it is important not make sure the storyline for the film has what it takes to be a big hit, and you still need a good scriptwriters and directors.
