<br>Things are just getting started. We’re only a few short months into 2017, and we’ve already had an influx of big AAA games like Resident Evil 7 and quiet indie ones like Night in the Woods . Nintendo just released a brand new system and, by the end of the year, Microsoft will have released a new Xbox of their own. We’re still in the months away from E3 and there’s already more than a game a month we’re excited to get our hands on. It’s beyond excit<br><br> <br>There’s very little information out there about Crackdown 3 , except that Microsoft wants it to be a ground-breaking technological showpiece. Crackdown 3 was announced as being the first major project from Microsoft to rely on Cloud Computing to power its visuals and destructible environments. Now, in 2017, we’ll likely see Crackdown 3 take advantage of Microsoft’s upcoming souped-up Xbox One successor codenamed Scorpio. Combine all that with the series’ creator’s ambitious online agenda, and Crackdown’s already solid gameplay foundation and this could be one of the year’s most jaw-dropping games. The original game was a surprise hit and one of the first non-licensed open-world superhero games (pre-dating games like Infamous). It was also a game that knew how to have fun, featuring weapons and cars that transformed and as you leveled-up, with explosions for days, and the ability to kick a car so hard it would flip down the r<br><br> <br>In Los Santos, during the 90s, eight male joggers were attacked by a serial offender. His name was Merle Abraham, A.K.A. the Infinity Killer. The victims’ bodies were never found by the police, but you can actually find them yourself (because you’re more intelligent than the Los Santos police, let’s be hone<br><br> <br>South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut shocked movie theaters worldwide over 15 years ago. We’re happy to know Trey Parker and Matt Stone haven’t lost their passion for farcical pun titles. In South Park: The Fractured but Whole, the kids in town have quit playing make-believe as high fantasy adventurers and graduated to superheroes. We’re already sold on the premise, as the kids can’t agree on how to structure their cinematic universe, starting a civil war between them. Priceless. South Park: Fractured but Whole builds on the open-world exploration and classic role-playing combat of 2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth , adding a wrinkle of tactical strategy to fights. With the series’ creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone coming back to work on another video game —bringing their wit and voice talent along with them— The Fractured but Whole is a sure <br><br> <br>We’re not complaining, 2016 was already a year overflowing with exciting games. New and surprising games like DOOM and Stardew Valley blew us away. Games like Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian were finally released, when —frankly— we weren’t sure they ever would. But 2017 could be one of the most jam-packed years in recent mem<br> <br>Grand Theft Auto has always been about mayhem. You can execute mass murderings on pedestrians, or blow up cars without consequence (well, the cops will come after you, but you can blow them up as well). But with Grand Theft Auto V 's take on three different main characters with their own respective safehouses, who's to stop you from taking out your frustrations on one of your buddies? If you choose to drop some lead or leave some explosives on one of the game's main safehouse, whoever's house it may be will shortly leave you an angry text message, and asking you "nicely" to stop it. If you REALLY want to continue your current destruction, nothing's going to stop you, but be careful if you're trashing Michael's home. If you harm any of his family members, you'll be forced to pay their medical bills shortly afterwa<br> <br>Trevor, as crazy and untameable as he is, embodies the first generation of the series, with the top-down games, which were concentrated on killing and stealing cars. Franklin represents San Andreas , Vice City , and GTA III because he starts low and poor, but finishes rich and powerful. Michael is the avatar of the latest generation, starting with GTA IV . He’s the reformed criminal who’s trying to change his ways, but cannot succeed because criminality is all he knows.

One of the newer conspiracy theories to crop up around the game, the Tongva Triangle, which spreads across much of the Tongva Valley and cuts straight across the mysterious Fort Zancudo, is ground zero for some of the more… ambiguous anomalies in the game–the kinds of myths that turn even the most ardent believers into skeptics. Strange happenings in the Tongva Triangle include swamp monster sightings, oddly irate drivers, number stations broadcasting at odd hours and Slenderman himself, among others. While it's not unreasonable to assume that GTA V might include a downed UFO in the Tongva Triangle (it does), the presence of Slenderman, a semi-Open world Games tips sourced internet villain, in a Rockstar game is a little harder to swal<br>
