HALO 5: GUARDIANS

TONY HAWK’S PRO SKATER 5

GENRE: FPS PLATFORM: XB1 RELEASE: 27/10/15 MULTIPLAYER: YES

GENRE: SPORTS PLATFORM: PS4 | PS3 | XB1 | 360 RELEASE: 01/10/15 MULTIPLAYER: YES

If you love Xbox, it’s likely because of the legendary first- person shooter Halo, which propelled the original Microsoft console into ongoing popularity. If you love Halo, then you’ve likely been champing at the bit for this release, the first dedicated Xbox One iteration of Master Chief’s life and times. There’s just one problem, the galaxy is under threat, and the big guy’s missing! Is he actually the bloke we’ve always thought that he was? Campaigners will find out, as they’ll go into the experience through the eyes of both Master Chief and newcomer Agent Locke. A raft of new multiplayer options extend the experience, including incredible 24-player mayhem.

We’re not sure what skateboarding legend Tony Hawk has been up to since his last game way back in 2007, but we’re certain about one thing – it would have been extreme (likely followed by several exclamation marks). Anyway, the man’s finally back, looking better than he ever has outside of real life. Fans of previous outings will be in familiar territory, with real world locations to navigate and real skaters to be played with. If that’s not enough, you can also create your own like totally gnarly and tubular (hey, we’re down with the lingo!) park from scratch. Power-ups and more add to the experience, which can be played locally or online. Uh, rad!
