Top 5 Most Overhyped Video Games

In fact, it’s such a classic that describing such a widely-known story seems irrelevant until you realize that there are prospective gamers who weren’t even out of diapers when the game was originally released, so here goes: Fable sees you take the role of "The Hero of Oakvale" who begins his quest as an unassuming boy until his village is brought to ruins by invading barbarians. The hero survives and is rescued by an even older hero named Maze. Maze sees great potential in the boy and takes him under his wing at the Heroes’ Guild. The hero grows up here, honing his skills and training for the perils that lie ahead. When he’s finally old enough, he sets off on his quest and can choose to either be the savior of Albion or its reckoner. This is of course the major gimmick of Fable, a game that allows you to choose the path of your character throughout their entire life. It was a concept that was ahead of its time in 2004 and remains interesting even after ten years and countless imitators. Of course, it’s major flaw is still the missed potential that was put in the spotlight thanks to the endless hyperbole from Peter Molynex.


Needless to say, spell casting becomes increasingly complex as more attack options are enabled. Fireballs must be primed by either shaking your right hand before attacking, or speaking the word "Fireball" out loud. Attacking with Shards, meanwhile, requires that the player holds his or her right hand over and behind their right shoulder, as if throwing a spear, or by saying "Magical Shard." Generally, motions are recognized more quickly than speech. Each of these actions, on their own, are simple to perform reliably. The trouble is that in the heat of combat, players will need to perform multiple actions, often simultaneously, and Kinect gets confused by the commot


Despite first being announced in 2013, and facing multiple delays that have set it back two years, gamers are still excited for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . With the Nintendo Switch set to release in March 2017, Nintendo fans will have the opportunity to play the new Zelda title on either the Wii U or the new console-handheld hybrid. Hopefully, the open-world Zelda game lives up to the years of hype it’s been build


To kick off this year’s PlayStation Experience, Sony shared a trailer that saw a woman, dressed in a hijab, traversing a middle-eastern city at night. It wasn’t until the end that PlayStation fans learned what it was, when two characters from Uncharted 4 were revealed. The trailer announces Uncharted: The Lost Legacy , a standalone DLC experience for Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s E

Not entirely encouraging, is it? And yet, that message is the first thing that greets players who boot up the game, every single time they do so (though it can, thankfully, be skipped). Consider it foreshadowing. The Journey is regularly interrupted with control tutorials - almost constantly at first, less frequently as it progres


Fight Like Hell perfectly captures the fast-paced, over-the-top gruesome and explosive action in DOOM . Those who have played the title know there’s little time to rest between each encounter with terrifying and powerful enemies. While many gamers were preparing for upcoming shooters Battlefield 1 , Titanfall 2 , and Call of Duty: infinite Warfare , the Fight Like Hell trailer put DOOM on the map for many first-person shooter f


Surprisingly enough, the simple driving segments of the game fare worse than the shooting gallery portions. It should be easy. Players have two virtual reigns, left and right. Pull on the left reign and let the right go slack to steer left, reverse that to steer right. Regardless, guiding Seren along Albion's roads is, at best, a haphazard endeavor. At worst, it's a never ending exercise in course and speed correction - and it makes up a major portion of The Journey's playt


While the new Medal of Honor was praised for its change in setting, it was more of the same the genre already had to offer. We had Battlefield: Bad Company and Call of Duty already and this game followed a similar path, only without anything new attached to it. In doing so, it just became another run-of-the-mill shooter. It would have its audience, but wouldn't be the groundbreaking experience it promised to be for critics or gamers, and certainly not a contender to take down Call of Duty like EA promi
