The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Legendary Edition

Bethesda Software is releasing a 'game of the year' edition called the Legendary Edition for Skyrim.
This version will include all the DLC that has been released for the game. This includes Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. It is a way to reduce costs if you are buying the game and have not yet gotten the DLC.
It will be available for purchase June, 6 2013 and is currently available for pre-order at Gamestop for Xbox 360 and PS3 though a PC version has been advertised I have not found it on Gamestop's website or on Steam for pre-order yet.

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Call of Duty has become one of gaming's largest franchises.
The series is created by two companies.
Treyarch and Infinity Ward trade off the release each year so that each of them has two years to create the next game.
The newest one will be created by Infinity Ward and will be called Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Very little has been released except for a teaser trailer but I hope to have more information in the coming week. As I find more information I will prepare a post for next week because this looks like it will be an even bigger release than previous years.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag will take the series, once again, in a new direction.
It is the newest in the series and is set for release in Fall 2013.
The game follows Edward Kenway, the grandfather of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Connor Kenway. He is a notorious pirate captain and a master assassin of the Brotherhood.
The game will keep the ship minigame from AC III. However, it wont be just a minigame it will be the main method of transportation as the game is set in the Caribbean.
The controls and the mechanics will remain the same overall, but they will be streamlined and revamped to ensure they are smooth and easy to use.
The game will feature the majority of the in game world as one open world with the larger islands and ports as loading areas to reduce strain on consoles.
The game promises to be great; though, some die hard fans are not happy with the way the series has been changing the focus of the gameplay so drastically and causing it to stumble with some of the newer releases.
I personally cannot wait to see how they do with this new installment and have already pre-ordered it in anticipation.

Watch Dogs

Watch Dogs is a game that is being created by Ubisoft and is planned for a late 2013 release.
The game follows the antihero Aiden Pearce who is a hacker and is one of the only people that can hack into the cTOS program that runs the city.
During gameplay you can interact with the cTOS to gain information about people around you, hack bank accounts, and even find threats before they affect you.
Much of the game is still a mystery at this point. Though Ubisoft has released that there will be a multiplayer component to the game they have yet to explain much about it. We also know that random event that happen in the city can become seemingly full fledged missions if followed through to the end.
This game has a lot of mystery both in its release and in the game itself and I can not wait to try it out.

Destiny

Destiny is the newest game created by the legendary company behind the Halo series.
Bungie has said goodbye to Halo and has looked on at its destiny with this new and ambitious game series.
The game will feature an open world with an always-on system to allow players to experience the game in real-time. This means that even when you log out the game world continues to grow and evolve without you and when you sign back in you find new players and events.
The game will be available on Xbox 360 and PS3 though at this time I am not sure if it will be available on PC though personally I hope it will.
The game will have a single world for all players on each platform respectively. Meaning that every player on Xbox 360 will be playing together and the same for PS3. However, the platforms will not be able to connect to each other.
The game is currently announced for release in late 2013 and is also claiming to then be available on the next generation consoles as well.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is a tactical 3rd person stealth based shooter game.
A lot to read all at once I know, but this game will be worth it.
This is the newest in a long lasting series created by Tom Clancy and hosted by Ubisoft. This game is incorporating many new features and allows for players to play their own way without penalty for the games own style.
The game series has already rewarded players for being stealthy through points to unlock better equipment but the way to get the points has always been through stealth alone. However, now the creators have realized that they can divide players into three main groups, Stealth, Assault, and Panther.
Stealth as the name suggests focuses on staying quiet and not getting detected during mission and the use of non-lethal take downs to get points and complete challenges.
Assault is the exact opposite. When focusing on assault players can be loud and lethal all they want and they will still gain points and complete challenges.
Panther is a little more flexible. It focuses on staying quiet but not leaving any enemies behind just in case. You will want to stay stealthy, but you can get the enemies out of your way using whatever methods you decide to and will once again gain points and complete challenges.
This game promises to be an amazing addition to the series and will bring the series back closer to its roots while still being flexible to new players as they learn to use the stealth elements to their advantage and decide how they think a situation should be handled. I can not wait for this game and will continue to follow its progress.

Defiance

Defiance is a new genre of game.
The game will be released in April and will also have a corresponding TV show airing on SyFy. The show will follow along at the same time as the game and will air weekly. Events in the show will also affect the game in real time.
The game is an MMORPG and will be available on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. There are no separate servers for the games but a single server so all players on the same device (Xbox 360, PS3, etc.) will be able to play together.
The game is currently in Beta test and is open to players who pre-order or were involved in previous beta players.
