What are some of the most anticipated games of the year?
With the Xbox One and PS4 being released the scope of development for computer games has gone through the roof. here are some of the games that people are most looking forward to and the reasons why we should be looking forward to them.
1. The Crew
Billed as the next evolutionary step in the open-world arcade racer, The Crew is basically Need For Speed: Most Wanted built to the size of World Of Warcraft. Players are let loose in a 5,000-sq-km map of the USA filled with huge cities, rural back-roads, mountain passes, arid deserts and woodland lanes. They can team up with mates and strangers on the fly, but essentially the draw here is to win races, rack up XP and unlock the game’s myriad automobile delights. This is a game that turns the USA into one giant racing circuit and its ambition is, quite frankly, astounding.
2.The Order: 1886
Steampunk-esque shooting amid airships and fog in Whitechapel? Colour us interested. Yet unfortunately this eerie, new, 1866-set romp didn't delve further at Sony's conference than a CG trailer. Yet the atmosphere created by God of War developer Santa Monica Studios was palpable, and the mix of cobbles, horse-drawn carriages and chain guns has piqued our interest.

3. The Evil Within
It's a long-awaited return to survival horror for Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, and his dark Bethesda title is causing ripples in the gaming world with its chills and flagrant gore. In truth, it's not quite as "weird" as some would have you believe, the demo we saw – with Mikami in attendance – stealing set pieces rather liberally from a variety of horror sources including Silent Hill, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hostel, Ring, The Shining, Night of The Living Dead and, of course, the Resident Evil series itself. That said, it looks absolutely terrifying, and the use of audio to scare the bejesus out of you promises to be its calling card.
