Ryse: Son of Rome is a 2013 action-adventure title that focuses on third-person combat gameplay, as you play as a Roman solider who must fight to save the Roman empire. The title was also one of the original launch titles for the Xbox One. Check out a trailer for the game below:

The Walking Dead: Season 2 is the second chapter of the episodic Walking Dead spinoff series from developer Telltale Games. Originally released from late 2013 to 2014, the game puts you in the role of Clementine, the young girl from the game’s first season. As with past games in the series, you must navigate through a zombie-infested world and find other survivors. The game is followed by The Walking Dead: A New Frontier , which released its first two episodes last December.
