One potential Ubisoft E3 2018 surprise was the reveal of Assassin's Creed Odyssey , which leaked ahead of time and was then confirmed by the company. However, just because Assassin's Creed Odyssey leaked, that doesn't mean Ubisoft doesn't have any other surprises in store for fans. Rumors point to a brand new Splinter Cell game being announced at E3 this year, which would mark the first Splinter Cell title moral Choices In video games five years. Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, but fans should be sure to tune in to Ubisoft's E3 2018 press conference to

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

On Sony's original PlayStation, there were no better platformers than the Crash Bandicoot trilogy. All three games gave everything one desires from the genre: challenge, beautiful art, and rewarding secrets. The next generation wasn't as kind to the mascot, and he was nearly silent on the PS3 and Xbox

By its own admission, Microsoft has had difficulty delivering console-exclusive games to the Xbox One on a consistent basis. At E3 2018, the company has the chance to reverse public opinion on its exclusives lineup, and if any of the rumors surrounding its lineup are true, then it may very well get the job d

Nintendo hasn't made a true Paper Mario game since 2004's Thousand Year Door , and if you've always wished for another game like those first two in the series then you should probably check this out. It doesn't revolutionize the RPG formula, but Bug Fables shows that you don't need an Italian plumber to have fun playing with pa

As for the party management portion of the game, Bug Fables is pretty light when it comes to managing equipment and skills. Instead of individual levels, your entire team levels up as one unit. When you gain enough XP, you can then choose to upgrade your health, your Team Points (which is your MP), or give yourself more Medal Points so you can equip more medals. Medals are your main pieces of equipment as there's no armor or weapons to worry about. These can give you buffs, status ailment resistances, or in some cases, even allow you to use new moves. The RPG mechanics aren't very complex, but it leads to a streamlined experience that still forces you to strategize, as you can only equip a limited number of medals and carry a limited number of healing it

There are all kinds of local co-op games on the Xbox Game Pass service, though some are certainly better than others. For those wondering which local co-op games on Xbox Game Pass are most worth their time, here are the 10 best local co-op games on Xbox Game P

From Software's next game is rumored to be titled Great Rune, and comes as a result of a collaboration with A Song of Ice and Fire writer George R. R. Martin. It's rumored to feature three different playable characters set in the backdrop of a 100-year civil war, and recently discovered game files of Sekiro suggest Great Rune is a legitimate rumor . From Software is allegedly announcing this game at E3 2019, but if so and to what extent is currently in the

Said to have a "small chance" at appearing during Microsoft's E3 press conference, a Perfect Dark reboot would certainly be welcomed by fans of a franchise long-thought dead. Yet, if this does prove to be the case, it's rumored to be in third-person and not developed by Rare Studios, marking significant changes from the original, so it remains to be seen how the reception of a reboot would stand up in compari

When I say this game aspires to be Paper Mario , I'm not talking about a few little touches here and there. From the second you load up Bug Fables, you will know that this is a Paper Mario game in practically every way except the name. Each character is a flat 2D model with big fat black outlines walking around a 3D world. The art style looks simplistic, as if it was drawn by a crayon-wielding kindergarten class, yet it's bursting with life and personality. Even the music evokes the soundtracks of Nintendo's games, with songs that reminded me of Final Fantasy games, Donkey Kong Country , Earthbound , and of course, the Paper Mario ser

Ghost of Tsushima is a stunning samurai adventure that utilizes incredible swordplay and stealth-based combat. It puts players in the shoes of Jin Sakai as he fights to defend the islands of Kiki and Tsushima against a Mongol invasion. Like Rise of the Ronin, the samurai setting will appeal to fans of Like a Dragon: Ishin with its respect for Japanese culture, lore, and the beautiful sett

This unforgiving turn-based strategy series was adored by its niche audience back in the '90s. After 2001, the franchise dropped off the map for more than ten years until 2012's X-COM: Enemy Unknown . The title received more attention than usual for the genre and managed to break into the mainstream audience. A sequel came out in 2016, ratcheting up the difficulty and arsenal of weaponry. Rarely do such difficult games garner such a player base, but this decade has seen intense challenges gain a new appreciation with this series and games like Dark Sou
