Watchdogs (quickie)

I think I might be the only person not gnawing at the bit for Watchdogs. Like, it looks beautiful, and it looks like it has a lot of really cool features, but it just hasn't grabbed me. Controlling all sorts of electronically controlled aspects to a city via your cell phone sounds great and able to provide innovative gameplay, but I'm concerned it won't be as fluid and awesome when enjoyed at home vs in the gameplay videos. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this will be the best game of 2014 and everyone will love it and play it all the time. Or maybe it'll flop like so many games with high ambitions have before. I think I'll wait till a few months after release to make any solid decisions about whether or not its worth the money.

Halo Series

So it has been announced that Halo 1,2,3, and 4 are getting remastered and re-released on the Xbox One. I for one am very excited for this, being a big Halo fan myself. There were rumors moving around about a Halo 2 Anniversary shortly after Halo Anniversary was released, as it made sense and fans wanted to see it. I don't think many people seen this coming though. It makes more sense, because at this point if they were to release a Halo 2 remaster it would be out on the One, but that would really mess up a run through the games if you wanted to do one, and the graphical quality would be all over the place. Now all the games in the main series will be on the same system, with the same graphics, with future games releasing on the same system. On that note, Halo 5: Guardians has been officially announced for a fall 2015 release. Along with artwork for the game being shown a possible box art image has been shown, depicting the Master Chief on the lower section and an unnamed soldier/Spartan on the top. So we will see what happens there. I am looking forward to the future of Halo, what about you? Are you a fan of the series? Are you excited for the remastering of the first four games?
