The single-player mode features actual traffic and police cars, who no longer will chse you if you rammed them.

Car Arena Brawler
Hope you're ready for some destruction derby.
This game gives you two of the best reasons to drive a car, racing and demolition derby. In either case, the developers hope you came looking for a fight.
Despite only one of the game modes focusing on this, the overall gameplay requires you to get into a lot of vehicular combat. The hope is that not only will you be aggressive to your opponents, but will also work to avoid both natural and vehicular debris lying in the road. You have the option to buy, sell and customize vehicles, so make sure to make sure you build something that makes the demolition gods proud.
If you tend to get road rage often, this is the game to get all that frustration out.

Spintires takes you off the race track and into the off-terrain. Best of all, this game takes place in Mother Russia.
You will be trying to complete all the objectives as you drive “Aging Soviet vehicles” across “muddy unpaved Russian Roads”. The game takes into account things such as physics, terrain deformation and driving controls. There is even a hardcore mode, where fuel consumption is increased and you’ll have no map to guide you where you need to go.
If you have the desire to see Post-Soviet landscape, then this is the game that you have been waiting for.
Making Trails.

With a cool character could come disaterous consequences.
Everquest Next will be giving fans of the series a parallel world similar to Norrath, but with different events and relationships. Not too much is known about the game, Beta testing is open, but what is known seems very interesting.

The classes allow you to mix and match common stereotypes to make something totally new. It really looks like a brand new world that will be yours as much as the developers.

When you hear about alll the new features.
52. Infinite Crisis
Developer: Turbine
Multiplayer Online Battle arena
Super-Hero Arena Brawler
It's a clash of worlds, so many worlds.
Infinite Crisis brings together popular DC characters across the multi-verses and the MOBA genre that has become so popular as of late. Since this is playing with a franchise filled wih big fights between hero and villain, the developers have added some unique concepts to the already established blueprint.
First thing of note is that the environment is completely destructible. The maps in the game are divided up based upon game length to play them. The win conditions for the game are either you capture strategic points to drain the power on the enemy side, or just destroy the power core outright.
Unfortunately, Infinite Crisis goes offline effective August 14th, 2015. Hopefully, there will be another DC MOBA in the near future because it was a very popular game in its limited lifespan.
Who is "friend" and who is "foe" is going to get blurry real quickly.
51. Archeage
Developer: Trion Worlds
MMORPG
Fantasy Adventure
See the world of Archeage with the devs.
ArcheAge is a zoneless world, meaning it’s open-ended, and the players are given first or third person point of view. It contains a lot of features that sets it apart from other MMORPGs. These include boats, an early-bird quest system and a create your own unique class.
In addition to the typical mounts MMORPG players get, players in ArcheAge get personal ships that they must customize to fight both players and sea monsters. If you just want to get a quest over with, but manage to get past this frustrating part, you can complete a quest at the cost of a reduced experience reward. Also, all starting characters choose from three of ten skill trees to create their own class.
These are just a few of the many wonderful things about ArcheAge, an MMO that you really should take a look at. You should really give this a look if you have any interest in a dynamically-built online game.
A daring adventure awaits.
50. APB Reloaded
Developer: Real Time Worlds
Action-adventure, third-person shooter
Gang Warfare
Who's going to run this town?
APB Reloaded takes place in San Paro where two sides, Enforcers and Criminals, are constantly at war. When you sign into the game, you need to decide with whom you want to stand.
The game consists of a variety of missions that one side must do while the other side’s only task is to stop you. Upgrades of any kind: weapons, clothing, and vehicles, can be found at vendors across the city. There also is a part of the city where players can only talk to one another, no matter what side they are on.
If you’re a fan of cops and robbers games like I am, you should definitely check this game out. There just seems to be so many interesting concepts in this game, you got to check it out.
Time to go to war.
49. Warframe
Developer: Digital Extremes
Third-person shooter
Future Shooter
Slice, dice and shoot in space.
Warframe starts with you waking up as a Tenno, an ancient race of warriors, only to win yourself at war with three different factions. Just know that you will not be fighting this battle alone, for up to three friends can help you.
Each player will have two ranged weapons and a bladed weapon, as well as having Companions, who will float around your head and help you out. And like the space ninja that you know you are, you can jump, sprint, slide, roll and all sorts of other techniques against your enemies as well as maneuvering around your environment.
The fact that you are not your common solider running around and fighting people should definitely convince you to give this game a shot. Come on now, it’s space ninjas!
Your enemies have picked the wrong opponent to fight.
48. Magicka: Wizard Wars
Developer: Arrowhead Game Studios
MOBA
Fantasy Arena Brawler
With a little help from your friends.
Magicka: Wizard wars pits four wizards against four others It seems that there are a lack of towers and minions, leaving there nothing standing between you and an opponent that needs a magical beatdown.
There are some features that are of note for people interested in playing. Friendly fire is possible and you may “accidentally” kill your opponent. Also, do well in your matches and you can get new staves, robes and…humor?
The Magicka series seems to pride itself on being humorous and fun, so if that’s your kind of game you should definitely try it out. I personally think the absence of normal MOBA mechanics in a PvP game is definitely an intriguing idea. I myself might check this out.
Thought sometimes friends fight too.
47. Black Desert Online
Developer: Pearl Abyss
MMORPG, Sandbox
Fantasy Adventure
Sometimes it's nice to go off the beaten path.
Black Desert takes place in a high fantasy world revolving around a clash between two rival clans. Beyond that, the environment will play a big part in the game.
Some of the key features of this game are the ability of characters to climb, interact and explore buildings and obstacles. Big weather events, like typhoons, will affect gameplay that will be beneficial either to the players or their enemies. Combat is noteworthy, requiring the player be a lot more active than merely clicking on buttons to do battle.
I don’t know about you, but Black Desert sounds like a wonderful game with loads of engaging features. If you like your MMOs with interaction and a dynamic environment, give this game a shot.
Victory at any cost.
46. Wartune
Developer: Sq 7 Road
Browser-based MMO TRPG
Fantasy Adventure
Always take time to survey your kingdom.
Wartune is game that puts you in charge of managing a town while also leading troops to gather more resources. It looks to be taking a step away from games more focused on building, such as Game of War or Tribal Wars.
You choose a leader of your town from three classes: Knight, Mage or Archer. You will lead a couple legions of men to find treasure, including gold, and valuable minerals. These treasures are then transferred into upgrading your buildings, which I imagine starts a rotating door of tasks.
If you enjoy games where you get a more hands-on method of gathering resources to upgrade your city, give Wartune a shot. The concept definitely seems interesting.
You come, you see, you conquer.
45. Tera
Developer: Blue Hole
Massively Multiplayer online role-playing game
Fantasy Adventure
Always nice when the fun games are also free.
Tera, the region, was born from the dreams of two omnipotent titans. Twelve godlike beings were the first inhabitants, but they began to war really soon. The next beings were mortal beings, like your character, but they two found themselves pulled a war not their own.
Tera has many features that shares with other MMOs, but it’s claim to fame lies within its combat system. Rather than simply clicking on the enemy and pushing hotkeys, you’re expected to actively be dodging and striking at your opponent. This way, you actually feel like you’re in every fight your character takes on.
If you’re as curious to see what a freeform combat system is like I am, you should give Tera game a shot. If this is the selling point Blue Hole wants to show for their game, it must be pretty spectacular.
It's the future of fantasy worlds.
44. Dirty Bomb
Developer: Nexon
First-person shooter, action
Modern Combat Shooter
Hope you came for a challenge
Dirty Bomb takes place in London after a radiological attack. The game seems to play heavily on teamwork, encouraging such through allowing you to revive teammates and shortening the life of those who are the last member on their team alive.
In addition to trying to kill as many of the enemy as you can, the attackers are escorting an Extraction vehicle to a location on the map (Think the bomb escorting game on Team Fortress 2). After that, what they must do next depends on the map. The map is also filled of objects, such as machine gun turrets, which can be activated by either side to assist them.
If you enjoy games where you have to be part of a team, give Dirty Bomb a shot. If the team is very diverse, you can expect to win a lot of matches.
Now there's an odd slogan for you.
43. Rift
Developer: Trion Worlds
Fantasy MMORPG
Fantasy Adventure
Looks like the sky is falling
Telara is the focal point of the elemental planes, each plane governed by a dragon-deity. The dragons try to wage war , but were defeated of the inhabitants of Telara and banished from the world. One of these dragons, Regulos the dragon of extinction, has worked his way back into the world and opened up rifts for power up his kin, which will lead to nothing good.
Rift, like the name implies, is largely focused on the players working to seal the rifts. Each dungeon encourages tactical thinking and strategies, but rewards the players handsomely upon completion. The raids are considered end-game content and contain the hardest of the game’s foes.
A game largely focused around dungeons sounds like a very interesting concept. If raiding was your favorite element of other MMOs, then you should give this game a shot.
Your foes will come from every corner of the unvierse to fight you.
42. Civilization V
Developer: Firaxis
4X Turn-based Strategy
Turn-based City Management
The people look to you.
With civilization V, you’ll get the chance to change history. Choose from a large variety of leaders, nations, and paths to bring your nation from a nomadic tribe to a country with global influence. This is a game that you will certainly enjoy if you can understand all the elements that equal success.
The game is turn-based, requires a lot of planning in everything you do, and requires you try to negotiate with your neighbors in a way that benefits you. This game is as much a game of thinking as it is waging wars. There are a few expansions to this, each one adding a whole new element of gameplay, as well as new faces.
If you are someone who enjoys long games that require a lot of planning, then this game is definitely one you need to check out. Try and also get some like-minded friends together for some really memorable matches.
Leave all others in your dust as you become the greatest leader in history.
41. Star Trek Online
Developer: Cryptic Studios
Science-Fiction MMORPG, Third Person Shooter
Future Adventure
The final frontier is waiting for you.
Suit up Captain, because the final frontier awaits you. Star Trek Online allows you to choose from a.variety of races, and then gives you a ship and some crewmembers. It falls to you and your fellow captains to scour space and keep the good people safe.
When you are given quests by the faction that you belong to, you can work with fellow faction members to complete the mission together. When you are tired of engaging in thrilling space combat, there are both exploration missions available as well as missions that players themselves have created. With all these options open to you, space has never seemed so endless.
If you’re a fan of the series or just love flying ships around, then this is a game you really should check out. The game has received so many updates since its original release 5 years ago, so there will be loads of content for new players to experience.
Somethign big is on the horizon.
40. Eve Online
Developer: CCP Games
Space Simulation, massive multiplayer, online role-playing
Future Adventure
You'll write your own story in this game.
It’s massive, it’s glorious and it’s in space. Eve Online is on a whole new level when it comes to MMOs.
The game has players inside customizable space ships, going through the galaxy and completing all sorts of quests. This universe, unlike other games, only expands when the population grows bigger than the serve would allow. There is also one of the best economies of any MMO within Eve Online.
If you like a science-fiction game with a complex style of gameplay, this game is for you. It’s literally the game that keeps on growing.
There is so much to see in this game.
39. Clash of Clans
Developer: Supercell
Strategy
City Invasion
Rally your clansmen!
Clash of Clans has already established a name for itself in the world of gaming. If you are unfamiliar with this game, and forgive me because I now think you live under a rock, then here’s a run-down on the game.
You are tasked with building a fortress, complete with barracks and production buildings. Build troops to attack players to earn gold and elixir, the resources you’ll need to improve your own buildings. Then, as the name implies, you can join a clan and then engage in the giant clan wars that are raging in-game.
If you are a fan of games like Tribal Wars and Game of Fire, this game is definitely worth a shot. Considering it’s so popular, there’s certainly got to be a reason to play.
Sometimes, you just got to throw caution to the wind.
38. Neverwinter
Developer: Perfect World
MMORPG
Fantasy Adventure
They offer dragons as a playable race now.
While Dungeons and Dragons Online takes place in the 3.5 Universe, Neverwinter is centered around Dungeons and Dragons 4.0. If you have played the table-top version of that, then you should have a leg-up on everyone els ein this game.
You’ll pick from eight different classes, complete with healing powers and action points. Join one of the various factions fighting for control following the disappearance of the Lord of Neverwinter. There is also a lich named Valindra who will demand a lot of your attention, probably because she has a load of skeletons and a dracolich in her ranks.
Fans of Dungeons and Dragons will surely love playing this game. There appears to be so much content to do and so much exploration to do. Expect to be putting in loads of hours into this game.
They did the monster smash!

If you enjoy games that take a while and require you to be both a military and political genius, you need to try this game. There are a number of DLCs that have come out for the game, like Napoleonic Wars and North and South, which adds some new maps and factions for multiplayer play. This game is guaranteed to bring you many hours of entertainment and will keep you coming back to it.
When engaging in sieges, make sure you bring enough men.

35. Warcraft 3
Developer: Blizzard
Real-Time Strategy
Fantasy Strategy
War is here, but somethign worse is on it's way.
Like World of Warcraft, some of Blizzard’s games are really great even if they are kind of old. This is also the case of Warcraft 3, which is also one of the games that inspired the massively popular MMO.
You can play the campaign, which focuses on the ascent of the man who becomes the Lich King and other notable characters who must try and stop him. You can also play a skirmish as Humans, Orcs, Night Elves or Undead. The Frozen Thrones expansion pack introduces tow new races, the Trolls and the Blood Elves, and also adds a bunch of new content to both single-player, multiplayer and also the map editor.
Though the game is rather old, the ability to make your own scenarios or play on already made maps still makes the game incredibly interesting. There even exists a player base on multiplayer that you can play with as soon as you get some experience against the computers.
The online multiplayer is still going strong after all these years.
34. Elsword
Developer: Kog
Fantasy MMO, fighting platform side-scroller
Fantasy Adventure
The timing has never been better to start playing this game.
This game is pretty fun and light-hearted. The characters are a load of fun, the enemies seem pretty creative and the way of level progression is something I don’t see in many games.
In Elsword, you’ll have your pick of seven different characters, each with a unique backstory and playstyle. As you level up, you will have to choose between two separate specializations, once at level 15 and again at level 35. You’ll pick up weapons and armor along the way, and also you may pick up a few costume items.
If you’re looking for a side-scrolling fighter in a brightly-colored universe, this is your game. There’s also a new character out recently, so perhaps now is a great time to get started.
It's side-scrolling mayhem in this game.

You and three other individuals are the last surviving people who need to get to safety. To do so, you’ll need to fight through waves of zombies and a number of enemies called “special infected”. Teamwork is the key to getting through it all, and you would do well to heed those words well.
If you enjoy a good time with friends and killing zombies, get this game. It’s all the intensity of fighting the zombie hordes, but none of the fear you see in games like DayZ or H1z1.
It all started on a dark and stormy night.

First-person shooter survival horror
Horror Shooter
It's terror time, again.
Left 4 Dead 2 is perhaps one of the most fun horror survival games out there. If anything can be said about games Valve makes, they sure know how to make sure the players have a very enjoyable experience.
You and three other survivors, A.I or human-controlled depends on you, must fight your way through five maps filled with your common zombies and several types of “special infected”. Along the way, you’ll be able to pick up guns, melee weapons, explosives, and some items that will benefit you. The key is to stay together, because programming in the game is merciless if one of your team strays to far from the group.
And if you’re the competitive type, you can play against a second team of players and take turns being survivors or zombies, trying to get farther on each map of a single campaign and therefore racking up more points. If you get the game on Steam, there are loads of mods that can customize the look of both you, your friends and even the enemy. There is no excuse why fans of shooters and zombie survival games should not be playing this game.

Fantasy Adventure
Time to go on an adventure
The world of J.R.R Tolkien comes to live for the fans in The Lord of The Rings Online. First arriving in early 2007, the game has had a few expansions that have kept continuing the lore we have all come to enjoy.
The story, different from the one portrayed in the books and films, has the player starting off in an area corresponding to their race or choice that soon becomes touched by the forces of evil. As you level up, you’ll graduate from highwaymen and feral animals to fighting orcs, trolls and even Nazgul. Once you get up there in levels, you’ll be able to participate in raids and PvP matches.
Though the game isn’t the flashiest, fans of the Lord of The Rings will find plenty of reasons to enjoy this game. And like many of the popular online games out there, it’s free.
Something vile this way comes.

Developer: Neowiz Games
Faction versus Faction
Fantasy Adventure
Are you prepared to fight?
Bless is an up and coming game By Neowiz Bless Studios that promises to push the Unreal 3 engine to it’s absolute limits. The team promises this game will redefine what online gaming can look like.
The plot for Bless Online takes place in a medieval fantasy world where two factions are at war with each other. Players will get the opportunity to pick a side, along with a race and class, and supposedly be performing some quests that are commonly found in MMORPGs before joining the main conflict. Considering the boasts on how the game works, it begs the question of whether the plot will be affected positively by that.
No idea of when Bless Online becomes accessible to the PC community, but it certainly seems to show promise. Of course, when it comes done to it, the end decision will depend on you.
Can you hope to survive what is coming?
26. GTA V
Developer: Rockstar Games
action-adventure
Mdoern Combat Shooter
There's always somethign new and exciting to do.
Thought it’s already been some time since it came out, Grand Theft Auto V continues to be a fantastic game. This might be in part of them constantly releasing DLCs, anywhere from offering first-person perspective to giving you a gun that shoots out a variety of crazy things.
There is plenty of content for both casual players and those who have logged in hundreds of hours already into the game. There are loads of mini-games that you can play with your friends, missions that can be completed in a group or by yourself, and a whole world that you can take on by your lonesome. So long as you enjoy playing in the world of Los Santos, there will always be something for you to do.
No word out on in there is a sixth installment in development, but GTA V has plenty of content to help keep players interested and always coming back for more. If you haven’t tried out the game yet, you should really give this game a shot.
Remember: crime doesn't pay, if you get caught.
25. League of Legends
Developer: Riot Games
Multiplayer Online Battle Arena
Arena Brawler
Here's a place you'll get real familiar with quickly.
One of those other popular MOBAs, League of Legends feature an immensely colorful cast of champions for you to pick from. Just like any other MOBA, there are a number of roles that all players can try out and hopefully pick one or two they enjoy.
Though they have cited DOTA 2 as an influence for the idea, League of Legends has a number of features that makes it stand out. The champions seem more light-hearted and delightful to play as, and there are creatures in the game that give your entire team boosts to their stats and even a little money. I’m also pretty sure that the heroes in DOTA 2 don’t dance.
League of Legends, whether you’ve played a MOBA or not, is definitely worth a shot. You may even find that this game is much more enjoyable than whatever you were playing previously.
Well then; seems like someone was home.
24. DayZ
Developer: Bohemia Interactive
First-person shooter
Horror Shooter
In case you're curious what's new and coming soon.
DayZ is the horror survival game that originally was a mod from the military simulator, ARMA 2. The game has done so well though, it has earned a name for itself and isn’t standing in the shadow of anyone.
The game has you in the fictional Soviet Republic territory known as Chernaus with little more than the clothes on you back. It falls to you to scrounge up what supplies you can find, but you must keep an eye out for both zombies and other scavengers who may be willing to kill you over an item. Talk about serious trust issues.
The game has become so popular that, as of this past E3, DayZ is now playable on three separate consoles. I’m seen a number of videos of gameplay on Youtube, and it looks like one of the best open-world survival games out there.
Just you against the world.
23. Grey Goo
Developer: Petroglyph
Real-time strategy
Future Strategy
You are not alone.
Based on the title of this game, you probably wouldn’t expect it to be a science-fiction RTS. The plot is the story of three factions, the Humans, the Beta and the Goo, who wage war across the galaxy. Though their conflicts take place across the stars, most of your battles will take place on solid ground.
Each faction has their own distinct playstyle. The humans are balanced in attack and defense, the Beta faction favors speedy strikes against their opponents and the Goo favor force in massive numbers. All of the units in this game appear to be mechanized tanks and ships, which isn’t the typical route for RTS games.
Fans of games such as Command and Conquer and Supreme Commander should have a lot of fun with this game. Grey Goo claims to favor outright strategy over micro-management, but I’ll let you be the judge of that.
Hope that's on our side.
22. PlanetSide 2
Developer: Sony Online Entertainment
Massively multiplayer online first-person shooter
Future Shooter
Cele-brate war times, come on!
I assure you that you have never had fought in any game at this scale. PlanetSide 2 features an entire world where three factions want to conquer everything. There are certain areas that can’t be taken over, to guarantee no side will permanently be defeated, so the war will go on forever and ever.
There are so many ways for you to wage war and take territory for your faction. Choose to fight as a soldier or a mech; fight on foot, in a tank, or a plane. Try them all and see which one you like the best.
There isn’t a game that takes place on a scale like this. If you ever had dreams of playing in a giant war, then you need to get this game. No arguments; go get it.
Battling until the end of days.
21. H1z1
Developer: Sony Online Entertainment
Survival, massively multiplayer online game
Horror Shooter
How to survive when your community has been invaded by zombies.
If you’re going to survive a zombie apocalypse, it’s probably best done with a group. H1z1 is a horror survival game where, it’s hoped, you work with players to live long in this barren United States landscape.
There will be loads of things that can help you improve your character. You can trade with other people in the game to get better equipment. You can also hope that you run into a loot crate, which can hold some pretty rare stuff. If all else fails, you can always scavenge across the world and hope you get something that will help keep you alive.
If you got a knack to see how well you do in the zombie apocalypse, then you should give H1z1 a try. Get your friends together and try and work together to see how far you go.
You just can't trust anyone in a post-apocalyptic scenario.
20. Lost Ark
Developer: Smilegate
Hack and Slash
Fantasy Adventure
You don't need to know the language to know this game looks amazing.
Not too much is known about Lost Ark with the game still being worked on. The developer, Smilegate, is one of the leading Korean game developers, which may invite some credibility to how well the game can do.
What is known about the game looks intriguing for those who play the hack n slash game Diablo. Lost Ark makes the claim that it offers puzzles that require a little brain power, a ship that they may use to sail around the world, and even a chain combo system that the player will be allowed to customize. There will also be jobs through the game world that doing well in may provide you with rewards as you go duengoneering.
There hasn’t been too much news as of late, but hopefully Smilegate is still hard work making this game as exciting as it does. Diablo players and fans of similar games, the unique traits that Lost Ark boasts of rbinging should definitely put it on your radar.
They look like they're up to no good.
19. DC Universe Online
Developer: Sony Online Entertainment
Massively multiplayer online role-playing
Super-Hero Adventure
There's super-heroing to do.
Now’s your chance to take up the fight for justice or evil. Create your character, choosing a costume and weapons of choice, and level up in this super-hero MMO.
The world of the DC universe opens up to you and your friends. Take on notable villains and heroes and there numerous, nameless henchmen. Get new weapons or powers as you grow, and become an individual worth talking about.
Fans of super heroes will really enjoy this game. Whatever you choose, good or evil, just remember to do your best.
Something looks wrong with that lantern there.
18. Injustice: Gods Among Us
Developer: Netherrealm
Super-Hero Fighter
Putting the "costume" in "Costumed crusader".
Time to settle all your comic nerdy debates, at least for a short time. Choose from a big list of heroes and villains from the DC Universe and take on the A.I or your friends.
There’s a lot of DC-themed goodness in this game. Characters who have history with each other have specialized opening lines to talk to each other about. You can fight on some pretty memorable landmarks in the universe, and you can knock each other through multiple levels found on each map.
If you’re a fan of DC games, you should probably give this game a shot. There will be loads of combos and victories to found, giving you hours of enjoyment.
I hate it when couples fight.
17. Starcraft 2
Developer: Blizzard
Real-Time Strategy
Future Strategy
Know thy foe before you step into battle.
The sequel to the successful RTs done by Blizzard, you’ll be taking up the fight as one of three forces trying to rule in the galaxy. All your favorite units are back in better quality, and there’s a load of new units for you to enjoy.
The point of this game is to build up a base, train some units, and destroy your opponent. Every faction has their own playstyle, so figure out which one matches how you like to play, It probably would be best to play a few dozen rounds against the A.I before heading into multiplayer, because all the people on there are probably well-versed experts.
As far as RTS games go, Starcraft 2 is probably one of the best out there. The gameplay is very well-done and the units are diverse enough that you’ll come up with a lot of strategies.
Look at that light show.
16. Team Fortress 2
Developer: Valve
First-person shooter
Modern Combat Shooter
Team Fortress 2 gives the best rewards.
Team Fortress makes your common first-person shooter look lame. The comic designs of the controllers and the obsession with hats make Team Fortress 2 a game that needs to be on your radar.
You have your basic game modes found in this genre: Team Deathmatch, capture the flag, and planting bombs. Like an RPG, the classes featured in Team Fortress 2 are best when working together, like a medic powering up the machine gun-wielding Heavy. Do well enough in your class of choice, and you get fun rewards, like new guns and hats.
Team Fortress 2 is free, quirky and not too hard to learn. This means this game was made for any type of gamer, which means you. Just get on Steam and download this awesome game.
There is no lollygagging in senseless slaughter of your enemy.
15. Mortal Kombat X
Developer: Netherrealm
Fighting
Fantasy Fighter
It's all about how you finish your foe.
The latest installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise is here and looks as bloody and brutal as ever. Old favorites and a few new faces have come together to bring on the brutalities.
So far, there have been a number of DLCs out, bringing characters like Jason Voorhees and the Predator to the players. The fatalities and x-ray attacks are brutal and yet, at the same time, quite creative. You can even interact with your environment, grabbing both zombies and old ladies and tossing them into your opponent’s face.
Overall, if you enjoyed Mortal Kombat games before, this is definitely going to be loads of fun for you. You’ll spend hours on end trying to figure out the combos on your favorite characters, and beating your opponent into a bloody mess.
This new guy seems pretty rock-solid.
14. Street Fighter IV
Developer: Capcom
2D Fighting Game
Fantasy Fighter
Time to punch, kick and Hadukken your way to victory.
It’s time to hit the streets again. Ryu, Chun-Li and all the other characters are back in action, along with some new faces. Be ready to pull off plenty of flashy combos and a few old favorites too.
The graphics on this game look fantastic, making sure every blow you land on your foe dazzle with special effects. Every fighter even has witty phrases they utter when the match starts. The gameplay seems very fluid too, making sure you have a very cinematic fight, start to finish.
The fifth installment of Street Fighter is currently being worked on, so this will be the perfect way to keep up the hype. There will be a lot of people playing this over the next couple years, so it makes sense to get in there and join in the good times.
Time to throw down.
13. Tree of Savior
Developer: IMC Games
Online role-playing game
Fantasy Adventure
It's time to choose your profession.
One day, the prayers to the pantheon of Goddesses went unanswered. Soon after, a giant tree grew in the middle of the capitol city, laying waste to a great part of the city. The people did not have time to mourn, for the fauna growing around the tree turned into monsters and began attacking everything in sight.
The game starts four years after that disastrous day, where people have begun talking of dreaming of the goddess. This would be where you step in, one who will set out to determine whether the world is saved or doomed. You apparently won’t be alone, because there will be an option to bring companions along.
There isn’t too much on the game right now, but what info that is revealed looks somewhat intriguing. Beta Testing will be taking place on August 4th and go for a week. If you’re interested, check out the website for more news and updates.
Danger! Danger!
12. Rocket League
Developer: Psyonix
Sports
Automobile Sports
Zoom Zoom!
You’ve probably never asked yourself what would make a soccer video game better, but Psyonix did and answered, “rocket-propelled cars as the players.” This addition brings a very fun concept that takes the weariness of a long game played with human characters.
The game can be quite exhilarating if you utilize all the aspects of the game. This includes the walls which are able to be driven upon, the power-ups you can pick up in the game, and the fact that you can destroy your opponent if you drive into good enough. You can also customize your car with hats, flags and different vehicles, adding a customization element to an already wonderful idea.
If you’re still unsure about this game, there are loads of Youtubers playing this game. Just look up one of their videos and see how fun this game can be.
Be sure to always show pride in your car.
11. Vindictus
Developer: Nexon
Online role-playing
Fantasy Adventure
A brand new season is upon Vindictus.
Vindictus is an MMO that is a sequel to Mabinogi, both free-to-play games that were made in Korea. Take control of one of nine characters, each one supposedly different from the others.
In addition to different playstyles, each player uses skills based solely on what weapons they’re wielding. For example, a player wielding a spear will only have access to skills that affect a spear. Whatever skills you decide to do, you will be putting them up against a race of monstrous humanoids, called Fomors, who humanity believes they can destroy.
The game is divided up into episodes, where you will be tasked with the leading the human fight. You will also be dealing with problems caused by humanity and even yourself. The game definitely looks intriguing, and you don’t lose if it’s free.
What even is that creature?
10. World of Tanks
Developer: Wargaming
Action, MMO
Modern Combat Shooter
They care about your gaming experience.
I don’t care who you think you are, you feel pretty powerful driving a tank. You’ll be given a hug selection of tanks to choose from, and then get to tear into others.
Better tanks will be available as you level up. The landscape that you’ll be fighting on offers a lot of tactical advantages for you to rain hot lead on your foes. And who doesn’t love explosions?
If you enjoy military games, then World of Tanks is one you definitely need to check out. When else will you be able to play as a tank the entire time? There’s a lot of fire power that you’ll be able to unleash on your opponent.
They'll never expect an attack from the river.
9. Guild Wars 2
Developer: Arenanet
MMORPG
Player versus Zhaitan, the undead Elder Dragon
Fantasy Adventure
Next up, sieging the guilds
Guild Wars 2 is the sequel to the popular MMORPG with no subscription fee. It takes place long after the world you knew of in Guild Wars, but that doesn’t mean this world is no less exciting for you. In fact, there are a lot of cool new features.
We’ll start off with you no longer need to be just a human. You have options to five races and eight classes. Another great aspect of the game is that you and every other player in this world will affect the progression in the world.
So go out and play Guild Wars 2. I have had friends say that it’s as good, if not better, than some of the bigger MMO games out there, and this game is free. What do you have to lose?
On the road again.
8. Hearthstone
Developer: Blizzard
Collectible Card Game
Fantasy Card-Based Game
Come one, come all, to play some card games.
Storytime reader. Once upon a time, Blizzard made a trading card game and it was alright. But then they seemed to make an online card game, and thus we have Hearthstone.
So there are eight classes to choose from, each one focusing around a specific playstyle. Each class has a specific power that can be activated for 2 power, which your limit increased by one with each turn. There have been two expansion packs so far, and loads of cards and play strategies to choose from.
So if you enjoy a little casual card playing, download Hearthstone today; because it’s free to play and you can alright without having to pay anything.
So two Druids walk into a tavern.
7. Path of Exile
Developer: Grinding Gear
Action role-playing
Fantasy Adventure
This path seems to lead to fantastic gameplay
Path of Exile is a game for all you hoarders out there, because doing well in the game centers all around on your items. Anything from the objects in your inventory to the skills you take as you level up will all be considered “items”.
The skill tree is also interesting. Every class in Path of Exile has the same skill tree, but they all start in different corners of it. That means you will eventually be able to multi-class when you’re in the higher levels. So much for having to pick only one class and sticking to it.
If anything, Path of Exile is worth a shot based on their interesting mechanics with items and skills. And when you get your friends to play with you, you can all be competitive little hoarders together.
Looks like someone lost their head and murdered everyone.
6. Final Fantasy 14 Heavensward
Developer: Square Enix
Massively Multiplayer Online
Fantasy Adventure
The story continues.
If you’re a Final Fantasy fan, then I imagine you have been excited for this game. The expansion to FF XIV will expand the world of Eorzea, Coerthas Central Highlands and the Sea of Clouds. It also offers new races and classes.
There is so much new stuff that I possibly couldn’t fit it all into this game. New worlds means new creatures, and possibly new modes of transportation. There is an increased level cap to 60, and several new dungeons for you to engage in along the way to that new level.
If you’re a fan of the game, you probably are already on your way to playing this game. Seeing all the new stuff that the game contains will be quite exciting.
No one shall be spared or overlooked.
5. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Developer: Sledgehammer
First-person shooter
Future Shooter
Time to advance this war one step further.
Stepping into a brand new storyline, players will be working for a paramilitary organization that will work to save the world and answers to no one. But of course, that means the head can do whatever he wants, which may be bad in most cases. This is an exception though because the head of this organization is voiced by Kevin Spacey.
The campaign is loads of un, but it’s not the only new aspect in this game. In the multiplayer, you will be fitted with an exo-suit that will allow you to soar across the battlefield. Now you’ll be flying like an eagle and shooting like a badass action hero in every match.
The Zombie game mode that Call of Duty players are used to are also got an upgrade, yet another fact that makes Advanced Warfare loads of fun. Just seeing how much the exo-suit changes how you play the game is reason enough to play this game.
War is a full-contact sport.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
4. World of Warcraft (WoW)
Developer: Blizzard
Online role-playing game
Fantasy Adventure
Here's what's new in the world.
Possibly one of the most famous online games ever, World of Warcraft has created a living, breathing world that millions of players inhabit every day. Based on the lore first introduced in the WarCraft games, WoW brings tons of content of players, already putting out five games in the series already.
Everyone will start out as choosing a race, picking between the righteous Alliance and the more confederate Horde, and finishing by selecting from a dozen or so classes. After that, the world is pretty much open to do as you wish. Level up, get cool armor, pick up a trait, raid dungeons, take on the opposing faction, participate in holiday events or just dance.
World of Warcraft is free for everyone up until you hit level 20. That means there is no reason to get on and see what millions of others are already experiencing. After that, you can decide whether you want to pay $15 a month or not.
Who's in the box?
3. Counter-Strike: GO
Developer: Valve
First-person shooter
Modern Combat Shooter
All that, AND cross-platform play?!
Fans of the original Counter-Strike will have already bene playing this latest game in the series. The fast-paced, five versus five, gameplay has only gotten better with new characters, weapons and updated game modes. What has already bene good has gotten better.
For those unfamiliar to the series, and if so shame on you, players will play as either a terrorist or counter-terrorist and take part of a number of game modes (Team Deathmatch, Elimination, Hostages or Bomb planting). At the beginning of the match, every player will either have to pick out their weapons and equipment or will be choosing from an established load out. You’ll get more money your opponent and completing the objective, which are what you would expect a terrorist or counter-terrorist to have to do.
Do you like fast-paced games that have you saving lives or ruining them? Do you do well at Call of Duty and have an itchy trigger-finger. Then perhaps you need to be playing Counter-Strike: GO if you aren’t already.
I don't think this is a good direction to go towards.
2. Heroes of The Storm
Developer: Blizzard
Multiplayer online battle arena
Arena Brawler
The crossover universe just keeps getting bigger.
Heroes of The Storm is the new MOBA put out by Blizzard. It features characters from across all of Blizzard’s games, including Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft. All the maps will be based on places in those game universes, so this sounds like a beautiful crossover of memorable characters from a great company.
Like any MOBA, HOTS has multiple roles that every player will be able to play. If you’re a veteran of MOBA games, then you should be able to do great in this game once you have your champion of choice figured out. Each map will also have side-quests that players can do to give them an upper hand against the enemy, so nothing new to make Heroes of The Storm stand out from others in its genre.
If you are a fan of any of Blizzard’s games, then you should look into giving this game a shot. Even if it’s not the type of game you normally will play, who wouldn’t want to watch some of your favorite Blizzard characters fighting each other?
Peek-a-boo!!
1.DOTA 2
Developer: Valve
Multiplayer online battle arena
Arena Brawler
Big plays are being made.
DOTA 2 is perhaps the most popular MOBA game out today. Hosting thousands of tournaments, where participants can earn cash prizes, and also laying the groundwork for other games like it can build upon. It’s been five years since this game has been out, but it is still going strong.
For those unfamiliar with the game, DOTA 2 has you selecting from a large selection of champions, all who fit somewhere within five roles needed to succeed in the game, and work with four other characters to destroy the enemy nexus. Standing between you and that goal are waves of minions, defensive towers and five other human-controlled champions. You’ll need to use your champion’s skills, teamwork, and items that boost your champion’s effectiveness that are purchased from the shop at your starting point.
What makes DOTA 2 worth playing after all this time is that there is so much popularity around the game. Assemble a team and work well together and there could be a cash prize in it for you. The game promotes teamwork and a lot of tactical thinking, so you can really become a great gamer through playing this.
If it's too quiet, that's a bad sign.
