5. TOMB RAIDER
The muddied face of Miss Croft might be a million miles away from what we’re used to seeing of the meticulously groomed explorer, but this year’s reboot should see a much needed return to form for the British beauty. Taking up the spotlight in the absence of Drake, Lara’s survival adventure could even teach Naughty Dog a thing or two.
4. NEED FOR SPEED: HOT PURSUIT 2 (TBC)
Okay, so we’re not entirely sure whether next year’s Need For Speed game will be a straight sequel to 2010′s amazing Hot Pursuit, but EA would be mad not to, wouldn’t they? One thing’s for sure, though: Criterion are back in charge and promise that next year’s racer will feature even more insane crashes and epic chases. Bring it.
3. HALO 4
Prepare for another year of everyone humming that theme tune as everyone’s favourite sci-fi duo Master Chief and Cortana grace our Xbox 360s once again. Details are light, but 343 Industries will want to make a name for themselves with their first Halo. Expect one of the biggest gaming events of the year.
Can you believe it’s been almost five years since the original BioShock hit our disc trays? And nothing’s managed to make a dent on its carefully-constructed narrative and intense atmosphere since. Until now, that is, where Irrational’s Project Icarus looks certain to set a new benchmark in gaming.
Shooting straight to the top of Twitter’s global trending list during its surprise announcement last November, GTA V is easily the most anticipated release in years. Featuring a brand new story set amongst the city of Los Santos, an area first seen in the PS2′s San Andreas, Rockstar’s prowess in the genre could lead to some of the smartest, most entertaining crime capers yet.
Records will be smashed – and jaws will be dropped.
