Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Title: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Publisher: WB Games
Platform: Xbox 360
Genre: Action Adventure
Release Date: 11/19/2014
Overview: NOTE: This is a two disc game, but it only counts as one disc against your rental plan.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is an action role-playing game set in an open-world version of Tolkien’s Middle-earth. You play as Talion, a ranger who develops wraith-like magical abilities after coming back from the dead. You’ll decide whether to develop Talion’s wraith skills or his ranger skills as you journey to familiar Tolkien locations on a quest to return to Mordor and pay Sauron back for that whole “killing you” thing. There are a ton of optional side quests, and the new Nemesis System makes Middle-earth more personal by remembering players’ interactions with specific types of NPCs and adjusting how those characters react later. That includes enemies, of course, some of whom will curse your name and seek you out for revenge! Fan-favorite Gollum even shows up as an NPC.

Title: Assassin's Creed: Rogue
Publisher: Ubisoft
Platform: PS3

Overview: Set in North America during the bloody Seven Years War, this action-adventure game lets you play as Shay Patrick Cormac, an assassin whose life has history-wide implications. Cormac’s journey is from Assassin to Assassin-Hunter, so he’ll use all of his skills and training to take down his ex-brothers. The open-world setting and stealth gameplay mechanics from previous AC games are back, as are the naval battles from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. This time your ship can navigate rivers. You’ll also have a new arsenal of weapons to choose from. New ship-based weapons include an oil slick, which can be ignited. Personal weaponry features the customizable air rifle, which allows you to silently strike down enemies from very far away.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Title: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Publisher: Activision
Platform: PS3
Genre: Shooter
Release Date: 11/3/2014
Overview: As the standard in first-person military shooters, this latest installment in the Call of Duty series takes you to the battlefields of the future. You’ll equip yourself with an arsenal of exotic weaponry and save the world from a terrorist threat. Far from the out-there sci-fi settings so common in gaming, Advanced Warfare’s future is well researched and realistic. Instead of the body armor soldiers wear now, you’ll climb into combat exoskeletons capable of boost jumps, cloaking, extra speed, strength, and endurance, and even a grappling hook. All this technology changes the nature of fighting in COD. The new weapons behave differently than previous guns, and the HUD offers never-before-seen levels of tactical knowledge to every man on the battlefield. Not everything has changed, though – COD’s tight-as-a-drum controls and realistic graphics are represented in spades.

Here, street crime will only get you so far. To score big, you need to create a blockbuster. Work together on epic heists, multi-part missions that require precision planning and execution, and risk it all in a city built on big dreams…and littered with spectacular failures. The Xbox One version features new weapons, vehicles, activities, and enhanced gameplay to make your experience more immersive than ever.
