Oh how I love choices. Open world games are my favorite new frontier in gaming because of all they have to offer. Two very different open world games have been my most recent forays.
First Dragon's Dogma....one of the sleeper hits of the year. It was never on my radar...and then I saw it in action....and the ability to climb on a cyclops and stab his eye, or a chimera and cut of the snake head tail, and riding a dragon while tearing away at the wings made this game fantastic.
If you are into the more D&D realm of RPG land then give it a roll.....you will not be disappointed.
Now for Sleeping Dogs, a game that nearly died as True Crime Hong Kong when Activision dropped it. Thankfully Square Enix must have fallen in love with the combat system in this game. The shooting is doable....the driving is tight and responsive showing that someone with training is driving. But this game shines in it's melee combat being able to feel like you really control the combat is rewarding and the game has all the right variations in the combat to make you want to change up your tactics and approach situations in different ways depending on the number of and types of enemies.
If you are a fan of the GTA series or would just love a really deep fighting engine then look no further Sleeping Dogs will not disappoint.
