Spiderman (PS4) – This is not the official title it’s still a working title but the excitement i have for this game is ridiculous Insomniac games has been handed the keys to build a huge open world spider man game in New York. Sign me up I’m a huge infamous fan but let’s face it infamous doesn’t have the gusto of a spider man game. The Batman Arkham series has proven with the right developer these licensed super heroes games can be fantastic and when a studio as good as insomniac is at the helm i truly believe there going to deliver something special it’s been to long since we got a good spider man game here hoping i don’t have to wait much longer.
God Of War (PS4) – The visual spectacle for the playstation is back in my opinion God Of War is best looking game at E3 I wouldn’t be surprised if this game is running on PS Neo. Kratos is back and it’s a new setting. It looks more akin to a dark souls than your more traditional God of war so i can’t wait to play this game.
Titanfall 2 (PS4/Xbox One/PC ) – The epic fast pace smooth gameplay is back. This time around it will be on PS4 Respawn also announced 6 new titans, a deeper progression system, a full campaign mode and a grappling hook to fly around the map or grab your enemies what not to like. They also announced all DLC modes and maps will be free developers take notes that how you keep a online community together. October 28, can’t come soon enough standby for Titanfall !!
Honorable Mention: Gears of War 4, We Happy Few, Days Gone

God Of War (PS4) – The only thing I know is that it’s Kratos, he’s tending to a child, and he still kicks acres of ass! I don’t know where he is, why Norse baddies would want to pummel him, or why he is even alive. But I don’t care; it’s Kratos, it’s God of War, and HIS AXE IS MJOLNIR!!!
Sea of Thieves (Xbox One) – I was going to give this to Dishonored 2, but I came to my senses. This is an open-world pirate game that features exploration, ship-to-ship combat, and rum. Why are we still talking???
Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4) – When I saw it during E3 2015, I was intrigued. This year’s gameplay demo has sold me. This game looks incredible, and I want it three days ago!
Honorable Mention: South Park: The Fractured but Whole, Dishonored 2, We Happy Few

God of War (PS4) – This should be my 1, 2, and 3 The minute I heard the music in the Sony press conference I already knew it was him. Seeing him sent shivers down my spine knowing this is going to be an epic Kratos journey and also with a child who is his son. I can’t wait for this to come out!!
South Park: The Fractured but Whole (PS4/Xbox One/PC) – This is a must in my book. Being with the South Park gang and being super heroes…this is fucking Winning!!!!! Also, PC Principal!!
Battlefield 1 (PS4/Xbox One/PC) – This game looks amazing!! You go back to WW1 and fight with weapons that were still not 100%. There’s full destruction and a motherfucking zeppelin that serves mass destruction in the air until it comes down burning and crashes onto everything.
Honorable Mention: We Happy Few, Detroit: Become Human, Dead Rising 4

God of War (PS4) – Kratos is back and with a Mjolnir-style axe. It’s been about three years since we last saw Kratos within his own game and now we get to be within the Norse mythology. Beautiful scenery, RPG style leveling, trolls and wait is that a Dragon? I’m sold!
Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4) – When I first laid eyes on this game last E3, I was intrigued as it was something different. Now in this E3 with more gameplay, I am excited as it looks like it will have a linear story but within an open world. Plus who doesn’t want to go toe to toe with Mech-dinos?
South Park: The Fractured but Whole (PS4/Xbox One/PC) – Returning back to be the new kid in South Park, we are now playing Super Heroes. This follows the day after Stick of Truth and now you have to prove which side within the “Civil War” you might have to be in. Plus come on, it’s freaking South Park!
Honorable mentions: Spider-Man PS4, Crash Bandicoot Remasters, Days Gone.
