Hey there everybody! Back here with my second post that I am going to be doing as a weekly post. Being such the gamer, inside of me is screaming to give my views and opinions on each game that makes its way onto the list. This is no way the 'actual' top 5 list this is based on personal views and opinions (so it may be slightly biased).
The first half of 2017 has already been one of the best and most covered years for gaming,. With some phenomenal games such as Horizon: Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, and theres plenty more ahead!
These games are coming in the late second half of 2017. I will be covering all genres not the select few I may be interested in personally. If there is something on the list that you have positive or negative views, I would like to hear your views and bring the community together over the common platform being Gaming.
All games on the list have the attached Wiki Page if you are interested in reading more.

I will hold my hand up for this one, this is one of my favorite franchises (before the jetpacks). This being said, the team over at Call Of Duty have answered arguably the prayers of every Die-Hard fan. We are returning to boots on the ground with the all new WWII inspired shooter. We also see the return of a fan favorite... Nazi Zombies! Say no more, the zombies mode has took itself to levels beyond our reach. Set between 1944-1945 the players will delve into a Historically Accurate campaign. With all new weapons and graphics. Strap in and gear up for WAR.

I'm going to start this with a negative. In terms of first Battlefront Game the engine, play-style and feel, I cannot argue with, the story within did not feel relevant to the Franchise. Nonetheless moving on, we are set to experience 40 years of star wars action in the game, with new characters such as Kylo Ren and Luke Skywalker. They are also rolling out 40 player showdowns across all three era's of the franchises history and a larger focus on space warfare.. Saddle up and get your lightsabers at the ready.

If you are looking to upgrade console or change console to an Xbox One then now is one of the best times to do so. I know there is many that are spiting my decision to add this to the list. We are all aware of the Forza Franchise and how it has built to where it is today. This year they are back with more than 700 realistically modeled cars, perfect driving mechanics and more than 30 real life locations to choose from. They are rolling it out in Native 4k and 60fps. This isn't one to be missed..!
Number 4 -
A follow up to Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor, which showed us the depth of Licensed games. We are back with Talion who is on a quest to forge a new Ring Of Power. With updated interfaces and movement systems the game is following a heavy lead with Shadow of Mordor. Mentions of Battles of Epic Proportions followed by an all new soaring mount system. This one is definitely worth looking into if you are a fan of the LOTR & Hobbit Franchises
Number 5 -
WOLFENSTEIN II: THE NEW COLOSSUS
This list was no way in order. If it was, this would be at the Number 1 spot. This game is set in America trying to set the people free from the Nazi Grip using a fleet of futuristic weaponry to take on the Nazi's at there own sick game. This is definitely one worthy of my recommendation.
So that wraps up my 5 most anticipated games of 2nd Half 2017. Please feel free to leave a comment and maybe start a discussion below.
Hope you enjoyed the read and hopefully I have opened your eyes to some of the new games coming to a console near you. Thanks in advance!
