Gamers, grab your controllers and get ready to play some fantastic games this year. Though the rivalry between the Xbox One and the PS4 consoles is slowly settling down the title war is just starting to heat up. With so many similarities between the consoles, the companies know that the gaming titles they can snag and release for their machine could be the deciding factor. With that in mind, there are some truly amazing titles coming out on the Xbox One in 2014, here are my favourites so far, let’s hope they live up to the hype!

Capybara present you with an intriguing story line will pull you in to this game without a doubt, tie in evocative music, beautiful graphics and the fact that you can use the Kinect to interact with your environment and you may find yourself with a winning combination. Below doesn’t just stop there, this game trusts you to find the narrative yourself so you won’t find any dialogue or screns filled with text, though you may find yourself with the ability to play it co-op, which would be an interesting game dynamic.

What kinds of trials and tribulations will befall us as we work our way across the galaxy in the next instalment of the Halo franchise? We don’t know yet but can’t wait to find out.
