Best Video Games to Play During Holiday Break
Destiny
I could simply write the words “Bungie’s epic new open-world shooter”, and will have written plenty of reason why you need to play Destiny on your holiday break, but it’s really so much more than that. Whether you're planet-hopping with friends or amid an intense firefight using some of the coolest weaponry to hit next gen consoles, it's clear that you have a GOTY-contender in your hands with Destiny .
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Now that you have some much-needed time off from work, spend some time on the couch with three-to-seven of your friends for up to 8-player Smash Bros. on-screen chaos. With so much to see, do, and unlock, and with combat this satisfying, your holiday break will be over before you know it… but it’ll be well-spent.
Assassin's Creed Unity
The French love to relax. You need to relax. So go back to the French revolution and kill a ton of people. That doesn’t make sense, but it doesn’t have to. Assassin’s Creed Unity is fun, fast, and you can team up with friends for the first time in the series to take out the evil Templars. Plus some of the in-game glitches are great for a good laugh or two.
Grand Theft Auto V
We realize that GTAV released last year on the PS3 and Xbox 360, but the shiny new next-gen version is so much cooler now that it’s got a first-person mode, it’s time to relive Los Santos all over again from a different perspective. And this time you won’t have to rush through it because time is on your side for a change.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Role-playing games require a lot of time investment to get the full experience and enjoyment. Fortunate for you, you finally have some time to spare thanks to your holiday break. You even have enough time to try out all of the different classes within the game and get to know their pros and cons.
