In anticipation of the upcoming 2015 title Star Wars Battlefront, I thought I’d put a little article together on the history of (in my eyes) one of the best gaming series of all time. I guess it all started ten years ago with the release of the first game of the series, Star Wars Battlefront. It was every Star Wars fanboy’s wet dream. This game was the first based on the movies that would actually let you partake in the battles we know and love from the Star Wars saga.

Looking at the gaming industry in the present day, we can see the many different platforms in which we can play games on. We have Playstation, Xbox, Wii; you know the rest (PC MASTER RACE - Ed). When released to the public, most games tend to be on a broad range of machines, however, we do get the odd game in which the developers have struck up a deal with a console company and have made that game exclusive to only one (occasionally more) console/s. From inFAMOUS to Gears of War, from Mario to LittleBigPlanet, these games are only playable through one, singular selected platform. But of course, most of you reading this will know what exclusives are but I’m not here to explain them…I’m here to ask you if they’re a good idea.

It all began back in the year 2007, as in this year the first of many games in a franchise would appear in stores everywhere. This first installment was known as “Assassin’s Creed”; a game set in 1191 as well as modern day was a free-roam, third person game in which lets you play as a young man named “Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad”, a member of an old faction the “Assassin Brotherhood”. Your goal was to obtain an ancient artefact capable of controlling minds: the “Apple of Eden”. The fight for this object of mass power becomes evermore desperate as another faction known as the “Knight’s Templar” are also hot on its tail. The game sends you, through a whole campaign with side missions in which you get to practise your awesome Assassin skills and capabilities. Following the success of the first game; with it winning multiple awards at the annual E3 and earning great reviews, a sequel was released with improved graphics, a new story and a new character to follow.

Games Video Games based on comic books or movies tend to be a bit naff (Iron Man, Spiderman 3 etc.) Most see them as a basic way to milk a franchise for extra cash. However, the occasional superhero game rocks up and blows everybody’s minds. Today I will be focussing on these games, as the worst are a list for another time. So here we go with the Top 8 superhero games in recent(ish) memory

Anticipated Games: inFAMOUS Second Son With so many new games being released over the next year, it can be hard to keep track of all of them. From Watch Dogs to Destiny, or The Order 1887 to Thief (and these are just a few). But within this article, I’d like to have a particular focus on a game, that even when the first trailer filled with Pre-Alpha, unpolished gameplay, it took my breath away. I am talking of the third game in its series: inFAMOUS Second Son. With the first two games proving to be marvellous, I without a doubt have the highest of hopes for this game.
