Zombies? So hot right now! Recreate your own Walking Dead fantasies with this fun zombie smasher. Dead Rising 3 packs more zombies onto the screen than ever before and lets players create weapons on the fly by combining common objects found throughout the game. Dead Rising 3 also uses the Xbox One’s SmartGlass smartphone app to offer up exclusive mission, weapons and more.
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (Xbox One)
The Assassin’s Creed story continues on the high seas as players control a brutal pirate captain trained by assassins. Players explore an open world featuring 50 unique locations including underwater shipwrecks, jungles and lost ruins. There’s also a multiplayer mode where players can fight to the death in many of the games locations.
The best looking racing game on the Xbox One is here. Forza 5 features a technology that gives Ai drivers the patterns and skills of your friends, so you can practice racing against real competition and not stale AI routines. Forza 5 features cutting edge visuals and a host of car options and courses to race.
When people talk about the next generation console difference, they’re talking about NBA 2k14. The game was built from the ground up and the differences between it and the PS3 version are immediate and striking. Players can start their own career with MyCareer or experience the life of a GM with the MyGM mode. Either way, this is the most immersive and gorgeous basketball game you have ever played.
The PS4 has its own great racing experience in Need For Speed: Rivals. NFS: R is a glorified game of cops and robbers, as players can drive either as a street racer looking for challenges or as a police officer looking to pull over overeager drivers. The game also seamlessly integrates multiplayer and single player action, letting your friends come and go from your gaming session as you play. Players can customize vehicle tuning of course, and even get custom liveries, license plates, rims and decals.
