4. Tom Clancy's The Division

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

In Tom Clancy’s The Division, a virus is unleashed on the US which causes the government to fall apart. Society soon follows as the world is plunged into complete chaos. In the wake of modern society’s death, sleeper agents from an organization known as “The Division” activate to help piece together civilization.

At first, I wasn’t very excited for this game. It looked like just another shooter with futuristic tech in a post-apocalyptic world. The problem was how this game just didn’t look like it had any personality beyond good looks.

Then at E3, Ubisoft released the Dark Zone trailer. I can definitely say I’m hyped for this game’s release now. The trailer shows its audience what a virtual friendship graveyard looks like. In the Dark Zone, players will encounter AI controlled enemies they can kill for loot and other players that can either be friendlies or enemies depending on what both parties feel like. Each player also has the option of leaving their friend’s party and immediately betraying them. The benefit to all of this violence and Game of Thrones style betrayal is simple: you get to steal everyone’s loot. Do you like that gun your friend is showing off?  Well, now you can shove a bullet in his unsuspecting face and steal it from his cold, dead corpse.

Through the Dark Zone, The Division creates a perfect simulator of the intense situations that can occur when two groups of survivors meet one another. You should probably play this game with friends who you know won’t be too angry at you for betraying them.

Release Date: March 8th, 2016
