Final Fantasy XIII had to deal with a ton of controversy on its release. Very linear gameplay and a problematic fighting system hurt the appeal of the game, while its story also failed to deliver. Despite the criticism, there are loyal fans who fiercely defend it. In the end though, FFXIII , followed by the disappointing MMO FFXIV have caused some to wonder if Final Fantasy as a series can survive in today's gaming mar
While the new Medal of Honor was praised for its change in setting, it was more of the same the genre already had to offer. We had Battlefield: Bad Company and Call of Duty already and this game followed a similar path, only without anything new attached to it. In doing so, it just became another run-of-the-mill shooter. It would have its audience, but wouldn't be the groundbreaking experience it promised to be for critics or gamers, and certainly not a contender to take down Call of Duty like EA promi
A special mention goes to Daikatana which was originally on our list but replaced by a more recent overhyped game. List some of the games you've played that you felt were disappointing in some way due to overh
This year's Comic-Con promises to be action packed for all attendees. For those of you following along at home this weekend, Game Rant will have staff on the ground in San Diego to bring you all the news and surprises for San Di
Ratchet & Clank studio Insomniac Games has been entrusted with Spider-Man , and we know next to nothing about the game so far, which makes its potential E3 appearance even more exciting. Hopefully this year's E3 will give fans a look at some actual in-game footage, along with plot details and features fans can look forward to when the web-slinger's next game finally hits store shel
Fable 2 was set 500 years after the original story, and Fable 3 set only 50 years after the second game. The game's creator, Peter Molyneux told IGN that the time jumps between each games time periods were a "big mistake" and so I'm confident that Playground Games may honour that thinking and just send things back to simplicity. I'd like to see a game set somewhere in those 500 years but through a story that doesn't deteriorate the lore for Fable 2 an
As it stands, there are a number of games confirmed for E3 2018 , including some from the companies hosting press conferences to adventure Games weapons by other developers and publishers. Some of these games will be playable on the show floor, and others will only be seen as trailers or video packa
Since the Battle Dragon can only be operated by one bearing the Killstar - possessed by the game's hero when first encountered - it's correct to call the creature a pet, since Rex 'Power' Colt is its master. A post-apocalyptic hellscape is something no sane person would wish to endure. But if this being were at our disposal, we'd consider
It's not every year that Square Enix has an E3 press conference, so fans are expecting some big news from its presentation on June 11. We only know of two games that will definitely be shown by Square Enix, those being Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Kingdom Hearts 3 , with the latter expected to finally get a release date announcement after having originally been announced at E3 five years
One of the big surprises at last year's E3 was the reveal of a brand new IP called Days Gone from Sony Bend, the studio behind the Syphon Filter franchise. Days Gone is a third-person open world game where the world has been ravaged by terrifying hordes of fast-moving, zombie-like creatures. With seemingly thousands of zombies on-screen at one time, Days Gone looks to be an impressive technical achievement, and PS4 owners should be excited to see more of what the game has to offer come Sony's press conference at
Another game to watch for during Sony's press conference is the God of War soft reboot. While it doesn't abandon the events that came before it, the new God of War is taking Kratos in a much different direction, giving him a wider range of emotions and adding his son to the mix. The game is also trading Greek mythology for Norse mythology, which should allow for fresh enemy types and new weapons for players to mas

As far as E3 2018 press conferences go, Microsoft's is mostly shrouded in mystery. Some leaks have suggested that Gears of War 5 will be announced at the event, but otherwise, Microsoft has managed to keep its cards close to its chest. Forza Horizon 4 is the only game fans are guaranteed to see at E3, but there's a possibility some of Microsoft's biggest franchises, including Halo and Fable , could also make appearances and Crackdown 3 will likely be a part of the s
