What would any gaming convention be without a Halo game of some description.

This iconic franchise is in need a new direction, so 343 Industries delivered its second foray into the real-time strategy sphere with Halo Wars 2 – a sequel to the 2009 game, Halo Wars.

This time around, the human forces of the United Nations Space Command, or UNSC, are back in the fray and find a new enemy to battle known as the Banished. (The once feared Covenant forces are no more).

There will be a single-player campaign mode featuring 13 missions, plus a stack of co-op and multiplayer modes for up to six players. Halo Wars 2 is due out on February 21, 2017.

Has it really been two years since the original shooter Titanfall hit the shelves?

Sadly, many believed this ground-breaking FPS didn’t quite live up to all the hype.

Well, now is Respawn Entertainment’s chance to deliver what the gamers were expecting the first time around.

This new title will feature a single player campaign that will be able to be played offline, which was sadly lacking the first time around.

Gamers start off as a mere rifleman, and work their way up to becoming an elite Pilot on The Frontier.

Expect to see Titanfall 2 in stores around October 28 this year.

Who said turn-based strategy games were a thing of the past?

Not Sid Meier, that’s who.

Due for release on October 21, Civilisation VI will feature many of the new game mechanics developed for the expansion packs of Civ 5. In fact, the same people developed both.

Players will find themselves pitted against AI opponents as they attempt to grow their civilisation from a handful of tribesmen and woman, through to populating an entire planet across a large period of time.
