16 Essential Video Games Worth Buying An Xbox One For

15. Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition

Remasters and remakes continue to be a blight on the industry - a quick cash-grab of an idea brought about through the assumption that because optical media demands you re-buy your favourite movies on DVD and then Blu-Ray, games can do the same.

Problem is, most of them charge full price for only the barest of additional assets or reworked textures. However, for Gears' Ultimate Edition, Epic rebuilt the whole thing from the ground up using Gears of War 4's future tech, resulting in revamped original that does for Gears what 343 Industries did for Halo in the Anniversary Edition.

You already know how gameplay goes for Gears; it helped establish the now industry-standard 'stop n' pop' cover system, albeit with treetrunk-legged protagonists and chainsaw-bottomed machine guns. If you liked it before you'll still love it now, and if by any chance you've never played Gears of War, this is a perfect starting point.
