5 Metacritic Game Scores That Are Way Too Low (& 5 That Are Probably Too High)

It has been 11 years since there was an entry in the Destroy All Humans! franchise, but according to a recent rumor, THQ Nordic stands ready to showcase a new game at E3 2019. The last anyone saw of Crypto, he was leaving the Furon Palace when Pox became the emperor. It's unknown if a new game would serve as a sequel to the last game, a reboot, a spin-off, or what, but it's likely to garner tons of attention nonethel


Zombies as a sub-genre are over-saturated in, well, everything. They've long taken over our movies and books, but in gaming, they've reached a new height of fatigue. Nazi Zombies, State of Decay and Days Gone are just some of the many that tired the genre. But not Killing Floor, this game - while not the prettiest or most modern - broke new ground in a genre where that was previously thought impossi


However, when looking at the long list of Microsoft and Sony franchises that could make the jump to next-generation hardware, it's fairly evidently who has the edge. Taking star power and prominent, marketable franchises into account, Sny is packing several massive names that are each easy system sellers. Horizon, Spider-Man, God of War , The Last of Us, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted; these are all series that are offering fresh, interesting concepts that fans are clamoring to see more of, and that's without even mentioning all the currently dormant franchises that Sony could dip its toes back into as w


Considering that Xbox currently can't boast many big-name exclusives that really sell what its next-generation venture is all about, it makes sense for the company to go all out on Fable 4 and show it before the launch of its newest console. That's not to say the game should be rushed to be a launch title for the Series X; nobody wants the game to not reach its potential purely for the sake of creating hype for the Serie

Yet that doesn't mean every rumor spread online is true, and there are tons of rumors that simply will not manifest at E3 2019 . What does or doesn't make it to the stage remains to be seen, and though these rumors do not have any real confirmation, here are the biggest rumor game announcements for the gaming e


The dog from Duck Hunt is one of the oldest video game dogs, as Duck Hunt was released for the NES in 1984 . Unlike other dogs in gaming, the duck hunt dog is actually one of the most hated characters. This is because he would laugh at players if they missed du


The gaming landscape has changed considerably in that time. With the new generation of consoles came new standards for design, and while Fable , for the most part, holds up in terms of gameplay, there are mechanics within it that may have trouble in the new wave of video Playground Games RPG. Specifically, there are bound to be difficulties with Fable's handling of morality, and with how significant the mechanic is to the game, it may create other hurdles as w


With the arrival of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X right around the corner, thousands of fans are incredibly excited to see what major new games will be hitting both consoles when they finally make their way to shelves later this year. Geoff Keighley's heavily-hyped Summer Game Fest seems to be the catalyst for both Sony and Microsoft to show off exactly what early-adopters will be able to play on next-generation hardware too, with Xbox announcing it will have a first-party heavy showcase in July and rumors claiming PlayStation will follow suit. And when Xbox takes the stage, Fable 4 needs to lead the


Following the successful remake of Resident Evil 2 , details leaked online that Capcom was intending to annualize the franchise. This led to the belief that the remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis's release date would be in January 2020 following an E3 2019 reveal, and considering that Capcom is rumored to be making a major announcement at the show, little could top another Resident Ev


However, fans want the promise of fantastic games from innovational franchises as they look towards Xbox's future and what better way to establish that than to show off an enhanced reboot of the Fable series running on next-generation hardware. No matter if it releases two years into the console's cycle, the promise of a game like Fable 4 would do a lot to convince fans they should invest in Microsoft if revealed in the next few mon


One of the most demonstrable shifts in the way morality systems work now is in the Mass Effect series. While Andromeda's facial animations and other aspects faced major criticisms when it released, most of which were deserved, it ditched the paragon and renegade system found in the first three entries of the series. The newer system, which gave players the option to respond in four different manners rather than just two, was still flawed, but it marked a departure from the standard good versus evil archtypes, attempting to give players more characterization, even if it didn't necessarily succ


Alongside games like Knights of the Old Republic , which featured its own morality system with a light side and dark side meter, black-and-white moral systems were fairly common in a game, adding an additional layer of depth to individual characters. It was an early blueprint for what was to come, providing ways for players to impact a game's narrative, at least to a degree, with decision making, but not quite having the effect on entire worlds like fans see in more modern ga
