At E3 last year, we saw gaming franchises
share with us with some of the most
awaited games across platforms. While
some games were mere teasers, others
were shown off through interesting
gameplay footages. This year we expect
to see some of these games arriving on
store shelves. So which ones are they
going to be? Here's a list of the top 10
games that are likely to launch this year
and make 2013 memorable.
1. The Last of Us (PS3 exclusive)
Ever since Naughty Dog gave us Crash
Bandicoot, the Jak and Daxter Series and
the immensely popular Uncharted
franchise, we've been waiting to see
what's next. The answer is The Last of US.
First teased at the Spike Video Game
Awards last year, the game features a
father-daughter duo portrayed by Ellie
and Joel, who begin their journey from
the post apocalyptic city of Pittsburgh,
gradually exploring other areas out of the
city. This PS3 exclusive draws inspiration
from various movies and novels like I Am
Legend and City of Thieves. The game is
all set to debut on 7 May 2013.
2. Tomb Raider (PS3, Xbox 360, PC)
Developer Crystal Dynamics has planned
to reboot the franchise with a young Lara
Croft embarking on a quest for survival
that unfolds her identity as the Tomb
Raider. Players will get a chance to play
various side quests, explore the island
and face other challenges. In-game
graphics of this open-world action
adventure game look stunning and so do
the interesting bits revealed in gameplay
footage so far. Will this game prove
successful as other games in the Tomb
Raider franchise? Find out on 5 March
2013 when the game releases across
platforms.
3. Dead Space 3 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
The third installment in the Dead Space
series, the game features a new co-op
campaign as well as a new playable
character that will be named John Carver.
Set on a new frost planet of Tau Volantis,
the game follows lead protagonists Isaac
Clarke and John Carver to end the
Necromorph invasion once and for all.
Towards that endeavour, the duo must
overcome avalanches, treacherous ice-
climbs, and the violent wilderness in
order to save the earth from an imminent
armageddon. The E3 trailer's ending was
typical Dead Space style with main
protagonist Isaac Clarke being eaten by a
large red insect and showing his effort to
fight against the insect's digestive
elements and his fate left uncertain. Don
the role of Isaac Clarke on 5 February
2013.
4. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
(PS3, Xbox 360)
A spin-off in the Metal Gear series, this
action-paced game from Platinum Games
is set to take place several years after
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots. The
game focuses on cyborg Ninja Raiden
fighting cyborg enemies while attempting
to rebuild an unknown country and is
expected to include more action
sequences. Get ready to slash enemies
and objects at will in 19 February 2013;
5. God of War: Ascension (PS3
exclusive)
God of War Ascension is a prequel in the
God of War franchise and will narrate the
story of Kratos before he became the
Ghost of Sparta. In this seventh iteration
of the series, vengeance is the focal point
as a younger Kratos is out to seek
revenge for being tricked into killing his
wife and child by Ares. The game is a first
in the series to offer multiplayer support
for upto eight players. Set out to avenge
Kratos' wife and child on 12 March 2013.
