It's been over a decade since the last major 007 video game, and longer still since the last good one. So there's a lot of buzz around IO Interactive's upcoming 007 First Light. But this isn't another first-person shooter trying to chase after the beloved N64 GoldenEye. Instead, IOI is making something very different than most other Bond games, and that has many fans, myself included, intrigued. Could this be the first Bond game to truly nail the vibe?

B Little caveat there: I played on PC.

Introducing Fallen, a new Xbox 360-era inspired character action game where you play as Astra, a fallen angel who must battle through Hell and its demonic forces. It's in development for console and PC,

2012's Forza Horizon is one of my lifetime favorites. Earlier games like Grand Theft Auto 3 had shown me how much I could enjoy the simple experience of driving around a game's world with a great song on the radio, but took it to the next level with its gorgeous Colorado setting, its impeccable driving model, and the relentless stream of exceptional pop tunes on Horizon Pulse, the game's best radio station.
