The massive power offered by the likes of the PS4 and XBox One consoles has delivered gamers a revolutionary gaming experience. The Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection has given PlayStation gamers a spectacular way to follow the famous fortune hunter through a variety of environments. And XBox fans have been particularly well-served thanks to the likes of Skylanders Superchargers that introduced some highly-entertaining vehicles to this fun animated video game.

Mobile Gaming

Apps also offer mobile gamers simple ways to stay entertained on the go. The Minion’s Paradise app provides the chance to follow this year’s movie stars through a variety of fun activities. Whereas the Walking Dead’s free mobile app has already recorded over one million downloads in just one weekend that is a testament to the popularity of the series and the playing format.

Online Gaming

Thanks to the advances of Flash and Java-based software, many gamers are now able to play some top quality games through the convenience of their web browser. The Bloons Tower Defence 5 game takes the on-trend tower defence format and re-imagines it for the browser with plenty of crazy upgrades and fun missions.

Whereas Lucky Nugget Casino have given the increasingly-popular online casino market an extra element of convenience through their site that features a wealth of games ranging from movie-themed slots to traditional table games.

Handheld

The Nintendo 3DS is still king of the handheld devices, and 2015 has seen a great selection of games on offer. Key amongst these must be the Tomodachi Life game that has enjoyed unflagging sales throughout the year thanks to its cute graphics, as well as innovations such as the new concert hall feature that allows the users to create their own musical entertainment.

PC Gaming


And finally, although playing video games on desktop computers may seem somewhat old-fashioned, the activity is showing remarkable tenacity thanks to some top games releases in 2015. One of the more original games on offer was the fantastic Undertale that earned rave reviews due to its originality and pleasantly nostalgic graphics. Whereas The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt offers a more familiar blend of role-playing and action that served to show just how relevant desktop gaming is in the modern era.
