15 Upcoming Games To Make An Xbox One Worth Buying

2. Sunset Overdrive

Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet and Clank and Resistance developers Insomniac Games are looking to take generic games everywhere to task with their vibrant, hilarious, exceptionally fun-looking shooter Sunset Overdrive. The player takes control of a man tasked with taking down humans who have been turned into monsters after overdosing on a popular energy drink. Yep, you read that right. This is absolutely a game that doesn't take itself seriously at all: it's focused on sheer fun above all else, and what else should be expected from a title that has a weapon which fires teddy bears strapped to sticks of TNT? Furthermore, the game will reportedly make use of Microsoft's Cloud technology in order to be able to quickly introduce new weapons, items, pop-culture references, Internet memes and so on into the open world. It's not going to be particularly deep or thought-provoking, but the visually gorgeous Sunset Overdrive just might end up being one of the best recent arguments for gaming as pure, unadulterated entertainment rather than anything more artistic or meaningful.
