Microsoft round up 2014

Microsoft came out with games, games and some more games. Which is totally fine with me. Stuff that i found enjoyable and look forward to from Microsoft or what we have seen from their press conference.

I won't lie, I have not played much of my Forza 5 but giving us free content is always nice. Ive always been a fan of Nurburgring and glad to see it coming to Forza 5, For free!

Forza Horizon 2 on the other hand i can't wait for, Shocked to see that it is set to release on September 30th, We knew it would also hit the xbox 360 which is the one thing that does indeed make me a little sad. It might not be a full on Xbox One title but i will buy it and enjoy the beauty of 1080p 30 FPS shinny cars going all crazy.

I have never been a big fan of the Assassin's Creed series, I had just beat the first one this past Extra Life(the game only took me a few years to beat) with the first one being a massive let down i never really got around to playing the other games in the series. I know this makes me a horrible person and I can't talk much about the new AC "Unity" but i do have to chuckle at them almost admitting the game is too hard... So we will give  you co-op! Which jokes aside adding in the Co-Op I think thats awesome and might make me play this one.

Dragon Age Inquisition is already something I was looking forward to and the snippet we got during Microsofts presser was neat and enjoyable, They will have premiere content on the Xbox One first, so thats why we saw it here first.

Sunset Overdrive almost was a let down because i for some reason didn't expect to see gameplay footage but thankfully we did! It looks like a dead rising meets board lands and like just stuff i want to play right now! October 28th seems far away. Should be a very fun and enjoyable game.
Dance Central had a quick mention but the kinect did not. Which was interesting and slightly sad.
Fable Legends is something i honestly thought had already come out or i just feel like it was old news, Not much to this game got me wanting it but i did like the whole dungeon master/evil mode was neat to see.

The new Dead Rising game might have the greatest name in video game history...Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX. Looks dumb and fun.

Halo Master Chief collection is going to be a must buy for myself and i hope my friends will play the Halo 2 multiplayer with me, Also having so many maps that is so cool. Add in you will be getting 4 games for the price of one(or cheaper?) Plus 4k achievement points? Oh hell yeah!

Project Spark still looks very fun and enjoyable, Im not too sure i will actually play it because for some odd reason i never really get into the games that are based around creating things. I did laugh out loud at the giant F you Rare fans with the little "we are too lazy to make a conker game" at the end of the video.

One of the things I will be awaiting for is the new 2D game from Moon Studios " Ori and The Blind Forest" it looks so cute with its almost Studio Ghibli like design and the whole thing reminds me of The Last Guardian. Either way I can't wait to play this game.

Another title i will gladly be buying is the new game from the guys who made Limbo. They know how to make creepy settings and amazing sounds. Looking forward to INSIDE whenever it comes out.

One of my favorite games of last year was Tomb Raider, So of course with the new game being shown off i can't wait for the journey to continue. Of course i was a bit sad that it isn't gameplay footage but that was not a surprise by any means. The name however is horrible. The Rise of the Tomb Raider!

Phantom Dust isn't a title i found myself really knowing much besides the name so i can't be hyped for it. But i like that Microsoft is looking to bring back older titles to give them another shot.

The Division looks like a giant win. I am a bit nervous it will be too strategy oriented for me. But it looks beautiful and it is also a multiplayer i hope friends will play as a team and not just try and run and gun.

Scalebound looks nice, I don't know much about it but nice to see a fresh IP for Microsoft. I honestly thought it was maybe a newer Monster Hunter series. I might have to look into playing this whenever it hits.

Crackdown 3 ended the show with just an awesome CGI tease but at least we know it is real and i wish it was closer to release, or even see real footage. I was shocked that this really ended the show for us.

Halo 5 beta comes out this December, I didn't really go into Halo 5 details just because At this moment I really don't find myself as hyped for it as i thought i would be. But you know i will end up playing it and more than likely when it is released.

That is about it from Xbox, Not to be taken lightly as they gave us ALOT to swallow in that hour and a half, Not to mention they also had plenty of other indie games they quickly glanced over. But over all a solid show and makes me look forward to Sony and Nintendo.
