Wolfenstein: The New Order - Xbox One

    The year is 1960. Nazi Germany controls most of the world, with just a few continents struggling to resist the ever-encroaching Nazi machine. Years of ethics-free research has provided the Nazis with a massive armament of high-tech weaponry and armor. Using their superior arms and numbers, Nazi forces have forcefully oppressed all local resistance into oblivion. Those resistance members who were not killed in battle are held captive in prison work camps in which they unwillingly help to strengthen the Nazi Empire even more. Rumors among those unhappy with Nazi rule speak of a resistance group operating in Berlin, the Heart of the Nazi Empire. Does this group have what it will take to topple the Nazi giant, inspire the rest of the world to rebel, and to survive?

Homefront - Xbox 360

    Homefront is a First Person Shooter developed by Kaos Studios and published by THQ. The game was released in 2011 on the Xbox 360, Playstaion 3, and PC. Homefront poses an interesting, (hopefully) fictional future in which the United States, weakened by its dependence on oil after the world's supply is nearly destroyed, falls to foreign powers. It falls to the player to join in the American Resistance, and fight back against the oppressive regime which has overtaken the American homeland.

Crysis - Xbox 360

    Crysis is a First Person Shooter developed by the German game studio Crytek and published by Electronic Arts. Crysis originally was released in 2007 exclusively on the PC. For years Crysis was the game to use when showing off how powerful your new gaming computer was. Crysis featured some of the most beautiful graphics yet seen by the gaming world. In 2011 Crysis saw release on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 as a port and in digital download form only. Needless to say, the game does not look nearly as good on the consoles as it did on the most powerful gaming rigs, but after the console release and success of Crysis 2, Crytek decided to let console gamers experience the first chapter of the story.
