Setting aside the speed and leaping that Epona brought once unlocked, the relationship between Link and his trusty flaxen Belgian goes much deeper. Answering only to her master's song, and carrying him into combat and across Hyrule, Epona was also able to endure any physical attack thrown at

Looking further back, players will also notice a variety of long-necked dinosaurs, likely Brontosaurus. These towering herbivores are present early on in playthroughs of ARK , but thanks to their docile nature they don't typically pose a threat. Next to the T-Rex, this is likely one of the most recognizable dinosaurs to the average person, so it makes sense that it would be included in the trailer. From this distance it is hard to tell, but it could also be a Diplodocus, a less recognizable dinosaur but still included in the original ARK. These herbivores are incredibly playful, often pushing players around and dealing more damage than they real

While the highly anticipated Elden Ring from FromSoftware will be missing the show, there are still plenty of Adventure Games beginner guide to look forward to. Here's a handy list with the biggest games to look forward to, along with events and streams related to t

Final Fantasy XIII had to deal with a ton of controversy on its release. Very linear gameplay and a problematic fighting system hurt the appeal of the game, while its story also failed to deliver. Despite the criticism, there are loyal fans who fiercely defend it. In the end though, FFXIII , followed by the disappointing MMO FFXIV have caused some to wonder if Final Fantasy as a series can survive in today's gaming mar

The problem with Crackdown 2 it was basically more of the same, but worse. Very little in terms of gameplay was changed and the game actually featured less variety than its predecessor. Players could be forgiven for thinking it was the same game, or at least part of the same game. The story of Crackdown 2 was cut down in comparison to the first Crackdown , which left some wondering why they were fighting the good fight, doing the same thing over and over again. This game did not deli

5. Crackdown 2
Crackdown was something of a surprise hit when it arrived on the Xbox 360. It had a hand in starting the "superhero sandbox" subgenre, which games like InFamous and Prototype expanded on, and garnered its fair share of fans. The success ensured that a sequel was on the way, eventually announced at E3 2009. The main focus of the promotion was that it would feature multiplayer, which was naturally appealing to those wanting to take down multi-million dollar crime syndicates with their buddies. About a year later, the game was relea

The ARK 2 reveal trailer is a visual marvel , and there's a lot going on at any given point. It's very possible that there were some dinosaurs shown that were missed here, and there are some that couldn't be identified with what was shown. Those players that fancy themselves dinosaur experts should also take the time to comb through the trailer and see if there are any other dinosaurs that were confirmed for the game at its rev

Anyone who's played Fable knows that it fell short of these amazing claims and there's a good chance they felt disappointed when they saw it failed to live up to everything it was supposed to be if they pre-ordered. This is unfortunate, because once we get past Molyneux's grandiose claims for what Fable will be and just accept it for what it actually is, Fable turned out to be a rather impressive final product. Raising children wasn't an option in the first Fable and sadly neither was killing the little brats that ran through the town, but overall the game seemed to match the goals of what Molyneux wanted to create, even though it came in a much more scaled back version of what he raised our expectations to be. The story progressing across a lifetime basically got reduced to the hero would whenever they leveled up and the world didn't seem to change at all from when the hero when from his teenage years to entering his sixties. On the other hand, Fable had a bit of an unexpected Monty Python quality with a narrator. He wasn't the most useful voice as he would typically tell you there is a quest card at the guild or randomly ask "what's that?" but having a disembodied British voice throughout the game was a nice touch.

Few games embody solitude like Team Ico 's epic Shadow of the Colossus , but paradoxically, the game possesses one of the most emotionally potent partnerships that its console generation ever witnessed (something the studio has proved particularly skilled

One of the big surprises at last year's E3 was the reveal of a brand new IP called Days Gone from Sony Bend, the studio behind the Syphon Filter franchise. Days Gone is a third-person open world game where the world has been ravaged by terrifying hordes of fast-moving, zombie-like creatures. With seemingly thousands of zombies on-screen at one time, Days Gone looks to be an impressive technical achievement, and PS4 owners should be excited to see more of what the game has to offer come Sony's press conference at
