One of the big selling points for the Xbox Game Pass service is the fact that it has all of Microsoft's first-party games, and this includes the entire Gears of War franchise. Every Gears of War game offers local co-op for the campaign, and Gears of War 2 onward also features Horde Mode as well. Players can play through the entire Gears of War saga from the beginning on Xbox Game Pass, all the way up to the most recent main series game, Gears 5 . The games have all aged well for the most part, offering players intense, action-packed campaigns that are a blast to play through in local co

The Mass Effect trilogy is a crowning achievement in gaming. These three titles came together to tell one epic story, and players' decisions in one Adventure Game Secrets influenced events in the sequel. After wrapping up the trilogy, BioWare got to work on a successor, Mass Effect: Andromeda . This new story came out to a lackluster reception due to its buggy nature and unexciting gamep

Obviously, the team at Moonsprout Game couldn't get Nintendo to give them Mario, so they went and created their own tiny world. Bug Fables takes place in a kingdom of various bugs, who by order of the queen of the ants - naturally named Elizant - are searching for an ancient relic known as the Everlasting Sapling which can grant its owner eternal l

The shift between video game morality when the first Fable game released — all the way back in September 2004 — and now has been massive. Fable helped lay the foundation for morality as a central factor in games, and watching a character slowly grow horns as they fall further into evil is still neat, but it has far less weight than what fans expect to see

Whenever it comes to fun local co-op game options, it's never a bad idea to check out Minecraft . Minecraft allows for up to four players to play together in split-screen, giving them complete freedom to explore, build, fight monsters, and more. When players really get into thoroughly exploring their Minecraft world, the game becomes impossible to put down, giving players countless hours of genuine entertainment with frie

Lionhead Studio's Fable was the Xbox's flagship RPG franchise. While infamous for Peter Molyneux's grand unfulfilled technological promises, it still managed to please legions of Microsoft fans for years throughout the company's first two consoles. Sadly, the company closed in 2016 , leaving an upcoming title in the series canceled. The franchise's future is currently up in the air, though Phil Spencer has hinted at a possible comeback several times in recent years. Whatever happens, it probably won't involve Molyn

The internet began speculating about a Resident Evil 3 Remake after fairly credible leaks and teases found their way online, as they tend to do. Fans were expecting to see a trailer, or even possibly gameplay, at some point during one of the press conferences this year, particularly due to the success of the Resident Evil 2 Remake, but it appears that fans will have to wait a little while longer to battle Nemesis in

However, Fable 4 rumors have been popping up quite a bit lately, leading gamers to suspect an announcement was imminent. Unfortunately, no such announcement was made, though it's possible Microsoft could be saving Fable 4 for next year as an early Project Scarlett rele

EA announced a new Dragon Age months ago but hasn't revealed any major information about the game since then. It seems likely that EA and Bioware are waiting until the game is 100% ready to show anything off, especially after the disastrous launches of both Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem tarnished the reputation of BioWare, a studio once lauded for its masterful games. Nonetheless, the absence of Dragon Age was felt during the EA Play conference this year, forcing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to pick up most of the story-driven sl

Not even the most avid fans could defend it. Not only did it signal an end to the franchise for the foreseeable future, but it was also the beginning of the studio's descent into mediocrity. We're hoping with all out hearts for BioWare to get back on their f

Nintendo hasn't made a true Paper Mario game since 2004's Thousand Year Door , and if you've always wished for another game like those first two in the series then you should probably check this out. It doesn't revolutionize the RPG formula, but Bug Fables shows that you don't need an Italian plumber to have fun playing with pa

This will especially be the case if you're a fan of the first Paper Mario game or its sequel Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door . Bug Fables does everything in its power to be a spiritual successor to those games, and it comes insanely close to being a complete succ

Despite all of this information being out there, Playground Games made no announcements over a new Fable . Xbox's press conference featured some top news as it relates to the Gears of War and Halo franchises, which seemed like the perfect lead up to a Fable announcement. There was also an opportunity to score some major points given that Sony skipped the event altogether.
