News from E3: A new iconic character, a map, and a warm welcome back to a Quake $1 million Championship at QuakeCon.

Only one man stood between a Nazi world and the people suffering underneath the jackbooted heel of this new Reich: BJ Blazkowicz, two-fisted soldier extraordinaire. While BJ may not have saved the day entirely in The New Order, his single act of defiance did light a spark of rebellion. Rebellion which has erupted into a massive flame in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

Dishonored was a fine game when it was first released a couple of years ago, but it was strangely even finer with its range of downloadable content that featured a new assassin under the mask. Duad was his name, and killing was his game as he was forced to deal with all manner of arcania in his own personal quest. Many years later, and it appears that the legendary knife of Dunwall hasn’t lost his edge.

Yes, you heard me. Fallout 4. In VR. Virtually real. Bethesda’s Fallout franchise and VR have been linked together for ages, but nothing concrete between the two has really been shown either than a few words here and there. It looks like the wait was worth it however, as Bethesda has double-confirmed that the full Fallout 4 experience is indeed running in VR.

Last year’s revival of DOOM wasn’t just a nostalgic romp through the past: It was brutal, gory and featured plenty of reward for anyone who favoured a speedy kill. Simply put, the best first-person shooter of the year even when it was faced with some stiff competition. That the DOOM of 2016. For 2017, Bethesda is giving their premiere FPS a VR face-lift with DOOM VFR.

Imagine a world, where humanity is at risk and only the best loot outside the walls that protect us can help turn the tide on our species going extinct. That game happens to be Destiny. That game also happens to be Anthem. Bioware’s next big IP is science fiction to the max,as mankind utilises all manner of super-powered exoskeletons to help survive another day.

One of the greatest games on the Xbox One wasn’t made with a budget that could fund a small African nation. Instead, Ori and the Blind Forest was a game of unbelievable quality on a smaller scale, full of spirit and charm as it starred the lovable Ori platforming his way into your heart. Simply put,not only one of the best Xbox One games ever made but also one of the important in its library.

Enjoy the console of tomorrow, and the games of yesterday. Yup, not content to just have Xbox 360 games made backwards compatible on the Xbox One, Microsoft has announced that the OG generation is headed to that family of consoles as well. The original Xbox was home to plenty of classic games, and Xboss Phil Spencer can’t wait for a new generation to enjoy them again.
