Halo 5: Guardians

Halo has been one of the most successful videogame franchises of all time, and rightfully so. Time and time again, comments are made that Halo isn't an original series. It was not the first sci-fi first person shooter, or the first to have online multiplayer. However, Halo introduced many elements seen in today’s popular first person shooters, such as regenerating shields. Regenerating shields had been done in other games, but Halo was the first videogame in the first person shooter genre to do so, and doing so in a competitive multiplayer environment.

Dr. Eggplant’s 5 things I want to see at E3

With E3 a little less than a month away, the rumor mill around the video game world has started buzzing, in which some news has already been confirmed before the press conferences have begun.  With confirmed titles like Gears of War and Uncharted already in the works to the annual rumor about Nintendo making a new Zelda game for its respective home console, this year’s E3 is shaping up to be one of if not the biggest E3 in recent years.  All of the companies have promised us that they are going to come out firing with games upon games upon games, and why not, a year after the revealing of the new generation of systems between Sony and Microsoft and the fact that Nintendo is releasing quite possibly its most popular franchise on 3ds and the Wii U later this year, the 3 way battle for video game supremacy is hotter than ever.  Of course gamers want to see titles that have yet to be revealed, or something that will peak their interest on upcoming titles that is the whole point of E3 and that’s why gamers look forward to this event every year.  With that being said these are the top 5 things I think gamers would like to see at this year’s E3 press conferences (digital event for Nintendo).
