tacking us in church? That’s a splatterin’! Attacking us
ywhere?! You better believe that’s a splatterin’! Faced
ith nests of icky ‘Swarm’ beings, we’re damned glad
e’ve got an arsenal that’d make Arnie beg for just a
tle bit of a play – plus, added melee! Anyway, it’s 25
ars after the events of GoW3, which saw the planet
ra de-Locusted thanks to one gigantic mofo weapon
rike. It had side effects though, and this first new non-
sees Marcus’s son JD Fenix and mates Del Walker
and Kait Diaz dealing with a new and totally gross threat to Sera. Play
solo, online or local split-screen – just destroy that Swarm!
GEARS OF WAR 4

e Godfather Parts I and II? Magnifico! The Godfather
rt III? Not so much. Anyway, we doubt Fat Tony will
crying over purchasing Mafia III, as he won’t have
e – there’s too much to do! An open world affair,
oting’s big on the agenda, but stealth and melee?
ey’ll work too. Sure there’s the odd bit of meeting and
eting individuals, but the crux of this action-adventure,
in 1968 New Orle... erm, Bordeaux, is the tale of one
coln Clay. He’s an orphan and Vietnam veteran who’s
made it his life’s mission to start his own crime syndicate to take on the
Italian mob. MMMmmm... Organised crime!

When FPS Titanfall originally hit, as well as the
sheer coolness of being able to jump into a
massive mech and let loose copious carnage,
it meant we could basically pretend we were
in Pacific Rim at home! But if you had dodgy
internet it wasn’t much fun, as there was no
single player campaign. Ah, but now there
is one, so even if your internet seems to be
coming at you straight from the 1800s, you
can get your mech on. You’re Frontier Militia
rifleman Jack Cooper, achieving your aim to
become a pilot in an unfortunate way – by
hooking up with your dead squad mate’s Titan.
Not only will you need to stave off local aliens,
there are also imported human enemies. The
story has a specific path, but you’ve a whole
bunch of freedom in getting from points A to
B – both directionally and time-wise. Meanwhile,
multiplayer naturally returns. “New” seems
to be the keyword, with attention paid to fan
requests from the first release. Six all-new
Titans join the fleet, while pilots have heaps of
shiny new abilities available. There are several
ways to get your hands dirty, including Titan-
free pilot vs. pilot, bounty hunts or capturing
hardpoints – and trying to hold on to them!
