What's On The Shelf?

Welcome back gamers!

I was racking my brain this afternoon trying to think of something I can give you in the build up to me getting my hands on the Xbox One on Friday. So I decided to give you a sneak peak of the games I currently own.

So here goes...


I know exactly what you're thinking: 'these are the only games you have?'

Indeed, these are the only games I have. The reason being is that I wanted to downsize my 360 collection in preparation for XOne.

 I also wouldn't blame you for thinking 'you own no Call of Duty games'? I used to own every Call of Duty game dating back to Modern Warfare, but after annual let-downs, which got bigger year on year, I decided to trade them all in a get some cash. I also believe that the Call of Duty series is finally being knocked off of it's perch with Battlefield 4 looking fantastic and plays great. However, I think that Titanfall will be the FPS to beat for the next couple of years.

I was waiting for years for any developer out there to come out with a decent Batman game, then Rocksteady got their hands on it, and it was awesome. I had absolutely no complaints about either Arkham Asylum or Arkham City, but I put that down to my bias. They were fantastic games, though. Until Rocksteady left and Warner Bros took over and ruined the combat system.


FIFA 13 & 14 are pretty self explanatory. I am a football fan and FIFA is the best football game on the market. Although, I will say that with each rendition there seems to be a growing number of problems, such as crashing, server connection and the infamous invisible ball/player bug. One thing I can say is my XOne will not be graced with FIFA 14.

Another self explanatory game is GTA V, probably the best game to ever be developed to date. The graphics push the console to the edge of its capabilities and the story line is great (with the exception of ending C).

Portal 2 was another great game. It gave me hours of frustration but it also gave me hours of fun. Who doesn't like listening to sarcastic, evil machines when trying to solve a puzzle?

To round up the other games: 

I completed Fable II. It was fun when I played it but traded in my original copy as it got pretty boring upon completion. My girlfriend then re-bought it and played it once.

I lost interest in Max Payne 3 quite close to the end of the game. That and I bought GTA and FIFA soon after. Bad idea.

Pure is poor, Lego Batman was awesome, never taken Sniper Elite out of the box, barely played Battlefield 3 and SplitSecond belongs to a friend, I let him borrow Far Cry 3, which was one of the best games I've ever played.

That's it guys, an insight into my games collection. Roll on Friday.

  1. I couldn't get the hang of fable! I was recommended it by handfuls of people because it was a "girly" game. I'd rather play Portal2 (haha) or crash into things on GTA! xo
