Opinion- Top 5 Most Anticipated Games Of 2013 (Updated)

Our guide that proves there's still plenty of mileage in video game entertainment left in 2013...
What with the releases of a host of big video game titles such as Hitman HD Trilogy, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, Gears Of War: Judgement and BioShock Infinite these past three months, you would be forgiven for thinking that from here on out, the games industry gets a lot quieter in 2013. Thankfully, that's definitely not the case, as our guide below to our Top 5 Most Anticipated Games Still To Come In 2013 showcases a variety of titles that will undoubtedly deserve your attention later this year...
5. LEGO MARVEL SUPERHEROES- Because who wouldn't want LEGO adaptations of hit Marvel films including Spider-Man, Avengers Assemble, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Thor and more compiled into one almighty LEGO package? That's exactly the prospect on offer here, and for Excelsior fans there can be no greater service of nostalgia than this new and improved model. (Autumn)
4. SOUTH PARK: THE STICK OF TRUTH- When THQ was sent into administration, there were worries abound about the status of South Park: The Stick Of Truth. The truth of the matter? Ubisoft have scooped up Obsidian and their IP to bring it to 360 and PS3 later this year, which means we are still getting potentially the most hilarious and deep RPG game of 2013 in full force...(Autumn)
3. ASSASSIN'S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG- The Assassin's Creed franchise has gone from strength to strength ever since it entered its annualised format with Assassin's Creed II back in 2009. This time around, in Black Flag you play as Edward Kenway, an Assassin fighting in the time of pirates and plundering who's forced to decide whether he honours the code or the Creed more in a battle of loyalty that could change everything for the series! (November 1st)
2. GRAND THEFT AUTO V- Five years. That's how long it's been since Grand Theft Auto IV launched and changed the video games industry forever. GTA V looks to do exactly the same and more, splitting its narrative over three different protagonists and featuring the most realistic gameplay and visuals yet for the series. Expect nothing less than a pre-next-gen masterpiece...(September 17th)
1. WATCH DOGS- Few games can seem to match what Watch Dogs will present us with at the launch of the next-generation of video games consoles. Boasting incredibly realistic visuals, a futuristic storyline, seamless integration of various elements of our social handheld media, this could truly be the first masterpiece of the next-generation, an unmissable experience that will change everything...(October)
SPECIAL MENTIONS: In a year chock-full of amazing games, it's all too easy to leave out a host of other big titles to come. As such, I've rounded up all of the other biggies here: Rayman Legends, Deadpool, The Elder Scrolls Online, Fortnite, Metro: Last Light, Star Trek, XCOM, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Rainbow Six: Patriots, The Last Of Us, Battlefield 4, Call Of Duty: Ghosts, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Batman Arkham Origins and many more to come!
