Release Date: 3 November 2017

After many negatively reviewed Call of Duty games, Call of Duty went back to it's World War 2 roots after 9 years. It is still very refreshing to see the World War 2 story but this time with updated game physics and graphics.

You might have seen this one coming. GTA V is not just one of the best Xbox One games but also possibly the best game ever created. It has a record-high number of sales for a reason. Rockstar Games took many years for this game to be developed and it was totally worth the wait.
