New Video Games

We are a gamer family. We love to play video games. But they can get expensive, so we don't go crazy and buy a lot of them. But about once a month we get together and Jason and I go shopping and we each pick out our choices from the new Xbox 360 games.

Jason's choice this times is Halo 4 Limited Edition. Halo 4 is the next blockbuster installment in the iconic franchise that’s shaped entertainment history and defined a decade of gaming. Set almost five years after the events of Halo 3, Halo 4 takes the series in a bold new direction and sets the stage for an epic new sci-fi saga, in which the Master Chief returns to confront his destiny and to face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe. In addition to a rich story and campaign, Halo 4 introduces a groundbreaking new multi-player offering, called "Halo Infinity", that builds off the franchise's rich multi-player history and promises to continue to innovate and redefine the way people think about storytelling and multi-player experiences. It's the perfect game for Jason.....but I am not sure I will ever get him off the TV! Ha!

My choice is something a bit different. Since I am really excited for the Olympics this year, my game of choice was London 2012: The Official Olympic Game. Over 30 Olympic events have been authentically recreated in their official Olympic arenas with a host of new disciplines making their debut for London 2012. Keirin (Cycling) at the Velodrome, 10m Synchronized Platform (Diving) at the Aquatics Center and Trampoline at North Greenwich Arena are just some of the new events in which you can compete for that coveted gold medal. In another first for this iteration of the video game, London 2012 will take the world's biggest sporting event online in the form of global leaderboards. The leaderboards will track personal medals gained while playing online, with each personal medal won added to that nation's medal table. London 2012 will contain a number of game modes including single player Olympic Games mode, online and offline multi-player and party play. So much fun. And you use it with the Kinect, so besides fun, you can sure get your exercise too!
