Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse

Wonderful remake of a classic platformer straight from childhood. None of the important aspects of the gameplay was injured. Mickey's mouse goes on a trip – to save his beloved Minnie from tenacious paws of an evil witch. On the way, he collects apples and diamonds, and at the end of many levels fights bosses.

► According to the plot, you need to collect seven stones that will lead us to the witch's den.

First of all, old-timers will be bored with a tear, which, perhaps, did not have Megadrive in those years, but there was a personal computer with the Windows 95 operating system (or an old MS-DOS), where there were religious Disney platformers like Jungle Book , Disney’s Aladdin And The Lion King. Currently, officially purchasing Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is possible only in Windows Store, since it disappeared from other services a few months ago due to the expiration of the license from the license Sega.

Dead Rising 4

It is difficult for us to believe it, but more than ten years have passed since the release of the first Dead Riding on the Xbox 360 console. Protagonist Dead Rising 4 Again, the photojournalist Frank West became again, who again comes to the quiet town of Willamet in the state of Colorado exactly near Christmas. A flash of a zombie virus, people turn into lifeless creatures, which means that the time has come for fun! Frank will again have to exterminate the dead with the help of cunning devices and costumes, but most importantly – here you can make a selfie even during a meat grinder!

► During shooting you can make different funny faces!

The highlight of the Dead Riding series is that she looks at the zombie apocalypse positively, and not with a gloomy dramatic mine, as in many games on this topic. The fans of the series will feel at home. Unless now there is no time limit for the passage of the campaign and the open world is greatly improved.

Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct occupies a special place in the memory of an experienced gamer from the post -Soviet space. Thanks to this, the first e -sports tournament was held in April 1996, which was talked about in the news and even broadcast it in the form of a separate program on the MTK channel. Super Nintendo in those years could not afford everything, so the game was very popular in small, but cozy gaming clubs.

In 2013, the series was resurrected thanks to the efforts of four studios (including Rare – Creator of the first part). Initially, the remake came out only on the Xbox One, but in 2016 reached personal computers with the Windows 10 operating system.

► to visit the old composition of the heroes looked from the toads from the classic platformer Battletoads.

If you miss the fight of Sabervulf and the piercing crunch of a bony spine, but would prefer to see the good old fighting game in the new wrapper, then it is better not to find Killer Instinct.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

We advise atmospheric to spend the holidays in the most beautiful winter expanses of Siberia in Rise of The Tomb Raider. Lara Croft is looking for a source of immortality in Siberia and simultaneously defeats Baba Yaga in the same and very interesting plot DLC. Exciting gameplay, magnificent computer graphics and a bucket of selected “cranberries” – all this awaits you in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

► There is still a terrible hut on chicken legs.

The eleventh part of the main series Tomb Raider also became anniversary. Exactly twenty years ago, the first part of the adventures of Indiana Jones in a skirt was born. By the standards of 1996, the game could boast of overwhelming graphics, and her heroine stood out among protagonists of other action, where muscular pitching reigned mainly. With nostalgia and trepidation I recall the gameplay on Windows 95. Tomb Raider delighted, despite the clumsy camera and uncomfortable control.

Quantum Break

Jack Joyce became a participant in the test of the time machine, but the experiment got out of control, the car broke down, but had a direct effect on Jack and his friends. Now the mysterious corporation "Monarch" is hunting for it, and the world is in serious danger.

The title of one of the most spectacular and cinematographic games of the outgoing year without hesitation should be given to a science fiction scooter Quantum Break. New hit from Remedy not just feels like a series – it is. In addition to it, four series of mini-series with living actors who performed their roles in the main game were shot.

► Even ordinary skirmishes with enemies sometimes turn into a magnificent representation.

Manipulation over time in the games from Remedy have already met. Of course, we are talking about the famous Max Payne , which will be sixteen years old next year. In 2001, under the Windows 2000 operating system and a very new Windows XP, we plunged with great pleasure in a spectacular noir story about a former police officer who takes revenge on the murder of his wife and son. Of course, at the same time we still saved up for the upgrade of our computer, since the game was very demanding to the iron.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

If, by coincidence, you were busy in November and December, which is no wonder with such an abundance of good releases over the last months of 2016-now is the time to once again save the world and intervene in the armed conflict between the Earth and settlements scattered throughout the sunny system. In the yard, we again have a dark military future, and Martian colonists announce their independence.

► And here is the old woman … why is it so restless on it?

The first game of the series Call of Duty I looked at our monitors back in 2003, and in the past few years a new part has appeared every November. This year was no exception. In addition to an interesting dynamic story campaign, several network games, zombies-mode in the surroundings of the Eighties Entertainment Park and HD-interviewing loved by many players Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Forza Horizon 3

Forza Motorsport appeared on store shelves in May 2005 only for the first Xbox and was distinguished by the presence of an impressive fleet of more than two hundred cars. By the way, unlike competitors, the game could boast of a realistic damage model.

Since then, the franchise has been replenished with several parts, which looked both at the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One. Forza Horizon 3 , Released in September on Xbox One and Windows 10, transfer us from winter to Australia's roads flooded by the summer sun. It offers the players a huge open world, consisting of dense tropical forests, hot rocky deserts and yellow beaches washed by a transparent ocean. To all this, you can add a large selection of cars and competitions, as well as many interesting races on Australian roads.

GEARS of WAR 4

Except Dead Riding , In 2016, another series celebrated its decade – GEARS of WAR. It seems that more recently the company Epic Games I released the first part of the franchise for the Xbox 360, and in October, the fourth “gear of war”, published on the Xbox One and Windows 10, arrived at the fans.

► In fact, I'm soft and fluffy, just now upset and sick.

GEARS of WAR 4 -This is all the same good old action from a third person: shelter, a bunch of enemies of deaths, chainsaws and the return of the beloved hero of the Marcus Fenix ​​series, which, it seems, has not changed much over all this time. Well, perhaps turned gray. Although we play, by the way, not for him this time, but for his son.

The gameplay is very peppy, there are enough adrenaline and shootings, the locations are diverse, the enemies are bloodthirsty and cunning. In general, everything we love the game for, there is.

A fourth part of GEARS of WAR – without a doubt, will ensure a good pastime during holidays for both fans of the series, and just for lovers of solid militants.
