Oh my, it looks like the best this fall had to offer is now behind us and it's time to actually play the games and maybe look forward to receiving a few fall releases as a holiday gift. Due to the holiday shopping and the busy time of the year, December is usually one of the driest months of the year when it comes to major game releases. In fact this month was so dry, that I had to fill the extra spots this month with some great games from last month that you might have missed out on...At least we have the lovely Farcry 3.
Now let's take a quick look back at some of our favorite games from last month.
As one of the biggest franchises to grace the industry, Halo 4 made a splash this holiday season. As 343's first original Halo title, they walked in with a lot of pressure, but thankfully walked out with what some call the greatest Halo title to date. Whether you agree with that or not is up to you, but Halo and FPS fans alike are most likely to love this game as much as its predecessors.
After quite some time, a new Hitman game has finally come out and Absolution aims to try something just a little bit different than past games. While some of these changes haven't been received too well among the community, this game is nothing short of awesome fun.
Remember when I mentioned Halo as being one of the biggest franchises in the industry? Well Call of Duty is the biggest franchise in the entertainment industry as a whole. Often given grief for making very similar games year in and year out, Treyarch aimed to change up the formula a bit with Black Ops II. While not as drastic as some people might want, the changes are certainly there. Bottom line, if you like Call of Duty, you'll probably like Black Ops II.
After much anticipation, the next generation has finally rolled around in the form of Nintendo's new console: The Wii U. With titles like Nintendoland and ZombiU, the system shows a pretty decent amount of potential going into the future. If you're interested in buying a Wii U, look around at different retailers in your area, as they've commonly began to sell out. The basic model come with 8GB of internal storage space and will run you $300 and a premium bundle which includes 32GB of storage, a copy of Nintendoland and a few extras. The premium will run you $350.
