It has been ten years since 2012. It is strange to see how the world has changed in the past few decades. It isn't easy to fathom a pre-COVID world where we didn't have to put masks and keep sanitizers in our pockets. But, what we all remember are games and movies we have been watching all these years.
While new games are entering the industry every day, they can't stop you from cherishing the old and classic ones. With that in mind, let’s have a look at the ten best games that have turned ten years old this year. This article will take you through a trip of nostalgia!
1. Journey
Journey is a game that defined the epitome of immersive storytelling and minimalist gameplay. You might remember playing it on your PlayStation 3, which kept people hooked with its challenging levels. Journey is still as fresh and engaging as it was even ten years after its launch.
2. The Walking Dead
Remember those days when playing 'The Walking Dead' was the biggest

In the past Turn 10 has released themed vehicles to support other game releases, but the last time this happened was when Halo 4 was released and a Warthog was added to Forza Motorsport. Recently, Turn 10 released a new update for Forza Motorsport 6 and it added some new vehicles to the game.
Like previously mentioned, the new vehicles being added to Forza Motorsport 6 are hemed. The new vehicles have a Fallout 4 theme - that's not to say that these vehicles are actually from Fallout 4, but their designs are very Fallout-esque.
So far only one vehicle has been added to Forza Motorsport 6 - this vehicle is the 1956 Ford F100 and it has a Fallout style paint job. The second vehicle has not yet been released and screenshots of this have not been shown yet either. Fortunately, Turn 10 did mention that the second vehicle will be the Chryslus Rocket 69 coupe and it should be available in Forza Motorsport 6 "soon."
Whilst you can't drive any cars in Fallout 4, you will be

New Halo Ranking System
Competitive Skill Rank will be making its way to Halo 4 this week, and to help players get to grips with the new ranking system, 343 Industries has given some insight on Competitive Skill Rank and how it works.
The Halo 4 Competitive Skill Rank (CSR) will rank players from 1 to 50 based on the player's performance in multiplayer matches, as well as the rank of those you play with.
Everybody will start out with a rank of zero, and will be able to achieve higher ranks based on their performance. The CSR is also based individually on each playlist, similar to Halo 3's matchmaking system, meaning if you had a high

Halo 4 DLC Info
After the launch of the Crimson map pack, players were reporting that they were capable of buying the map pack for free after following a simple bug within the Halo 4 title screen. Players were able to proceed to download the maps for 0 Microsoft points, causing heated discussions within the waypoint forums about the wasted use of the season pass, and an unfair advantage to those who could not get the bug to work.
343 Industries has now made a statement on the issue, and has let all launch players download the map pack for free. Launch players include any players whom have played before the promotional period

If you're looking for a good stocking filler this Christmas, or just want to make the most of the Christmas season, then you may want to get your hand on 12 months of Xbox Live for just $40.
On Thursday Buy.com put up a deal for the 12 month membership putting the price down from $60 down to $40. The purchase is a full physical card, but in most states there won't be any sales tax or delivery cost to hurt the amazing price.
This is cheaper than any other deal I've seen with the closest being the $44.99 deal from Amazon.com for a digital code. Digital codes may be more convenient, but if you want to give it as a gift, this is a perfect opportunity.
With this code you'll be spending the equivalent to $3.33 a month for Xbox Live Gold services such as online multiplayer capabilities, party chat, plenty of apps and access to special deals in the marketplace.
Compared to the average price of $8.33 a month, you'll be saving a total of $60 for a year's use.

Gears and Metal Gear at VGAs
Although there has been little information regarding new game releases at the VGAs, there were a few announcements, including some new trailers and information on Gears of War Judgement, and a possible new Metal Gear Solid game.
The new Gears of War judgement trailer showed at VGA doesn't really give us any further insight into the story that takes place before Gears of War 1, but instead shows us some fast-paced action scenes that we have expected from previous GoW games.
If you're a fan of the Gears of War series then Judgment won't disappoint you, but to those without any experience playing any Gears of War titles, the new Judgment probably

Halo and its Victories
A little over ten years ago, Halo Combat Evolved landed on the Xbox 360 and helped define what we know as FPS shooters on the console today. The franchise had a very successful launch, and the popularity of the game only grew as more games were released. Halo 2 completely redefined FPS multiplayer for consoles once again thanks to Xbox Live, and since then, Halo games have received a huge amount of support, giving those staying loyal to the much beloved Xbox-exclusive series even more to enjoy.
Game sales for a console-exclusive are never going to be as impressive as multi-platform game sales, but Halo has still managed to amass quite a heavy amount of purchases:

Borderlands Gives SHiFT Keys
So the VGAs have come and gone, and many developers have been honored with awards for their games. Borderlands 2 developer Gearbox, earned in total 4 different awards at the VGAs, and as a company that started out relatively small, this is an amazing accomplishment.
Surprisingly, the biggest award Borderlands 2 took home from the VGAs was the award for the best shooter, and even with the hugely popular Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2 being released this year as well, Borderlands 2 managed to grab the award, most likely due to its originality and overall unique combat scenarios.
On top of the best shooter award, Gearbox
