An indie game that puts players in the shoes of an anthropomorphic bird as they strive to get cellphone reception, A Short Hike is easily one of the more unique titles on this list. Any fan of indie titles owes it to themselves to try this title
Some may not even realize this, but it’s possible to play through Fable 2 in local co-op. The second player takes on the role of a henchman, and they can transfer any gold or items they earn into their own saved game. Admittedly, Fable 2 ‘s local co-op mode does feel a little tacked on, and it doesn’t really enhance the main game much, but it’s great for just messing around and wreaking havoc across Albion with a fri
Children of Morta is a rogue-like action-British Rpg that has players take members of the Bergson family through dangerous dungeons, battling monsters, leveling up, and earning things for their home. The game has a great sense of progression and a lot of forward momentum, so even in failure, players always feel like they’re making a difference. Playing through Children of Morta with a friend in couch co-op makes the game that much more fun, and with each Bergson family member being distinctly different from each other, the game caters to a lot of different play-styles and preferen
Despite all of this information being out there, Playground Games made no announcements over a new Fable . Xbox’s press conference featured some top news as it relates to the Gears of War and Halo franchises, which seemed like the perfect lead up to a Fable announcement. There was also an opportunity to score some major points given that Sony skipped the event altogether.

Released on the same day as the hugely underwhelming Assassin’s Creedy Unity , Rogue plays like a followup to 2013’s Black Flag and feels like an addendum to 2012’s Assassin’s Creed 3 . Though head and shoulders above some of the less inspired entries in the series, Rogue’s world still felt a bit too empty and bland, and it’s one of the shortest mainline AC experiences by
It should take new players somewhere around ten hours to complete their first playthrough, and series veterans could likely do it in half the time. This is primarily thanks to the lack of meaningful sidequests or extraneous cont
Due to the highly-publicized fallout between Hideo Kojima and Konami, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain came out in a brutally unfinished state. One can see where work stopped on the title’s story and it was rushed out to mar
Seemingly inspired by the likes of Rocket League , Roller Champions is reportedly a derby-themed multiplayer sports game that Ubisoft will reveal at E3. Leaks seem to give this game a solid amount of credibility, but this is still best taken as a rumor. Ubisoft has yet to acknowledge its existence, which could easily be taken one way or another, so tuning into Ubisoft’s E3 2019 press conference is likely the best way to see if this rumor is t
Another title likely to appear at Ubisoft’s press conference is Watch Dogs Legion , with rumors also alleging that Watch Dogs 3 will be set in London and release later this year . Leaks have also indicated that there will be no lethal combat and that players will be taking on the role of a counter-terrorist operative named Sarah. Of course, this could all be the workings of the internet, so until Ubisoft shows its hand, players are left wait
Yet that doesn’t mean every rumor spread online is true, and there are tons of rumors that simply will not manifest at E3 2019 . What does or doesn’t make it to the stage remains to be seen, and though these rumors do not have any real confirmation, here are the biggest rumor game announcements for the gaming e
Microsoft still stole the show with its briefing, though. The Halo and Gears announcements were well received, among others, but none as much as the upcoming console now going by the name Project Scarlett.
Fiction’s most famous secret agent has made undeniable contributions to the medium. GoldenEye 007 on the N64 revolutionized the first-person shooter and local multiplayer games. After the 1997 masterpiece, a steady stream of releases came through until 2012 when 007 Legends stopped it all in its tracks. The compilation of famous playable set pieces throughout the franchise was panned as one of the worst first-person shooters in recent memory. Since then, not even murmurs of a new game have popped up. Given the character’s relationship to the medium, he deserves a glorious ret
Capcom is expected to make a new game announcement at the show, and while a new Dino Crisis is not the likeliest scenario, many are clamoring for another entry in the survival horror action-adventure franchise. Capcom’s E3 2019 announcement will have the final say on the matter, but the company has expressed interest in returning to this franchise in the p
