While not every upcoming game is on this list, down below are 10 games that people have been growing in anticipation for. A couple of them come out within two months but most are announced for 2017. Some titles have just been declared at E3 while others have been known for years to be in development and are being waited for to release.

1. Detroit: Become Human

Platform(s): PlayStation 4
Release Date(s): Rumored 2017

This third-person game revolves around the life of several different androids. You are able to play as them all and if one of the characters die then you simply play from the life of another one and continue on. Since the game is based on a noir aspect, you have the option to collect clues to further increase your chances of succeeding in a mission. Every choice you make will effect the gameplay, thus creating a variety of paths and endings. But rather than pick a choice and be done with it, in this game you are able to experience and replay a scene with every option available.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild


Platform(s): Wii U, NX

Release Date(s): 2017

Breath of the Wild is an open world Zelda game which is said to have a map size nine times larger than Skyrim. It brings about a survival aspect where food can be cooked and weapons are not just used to fight but tools to forward your journey. Your weapons will also break after excessive use.

3. We Happy Few


Platform(s): Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, Xbox One

Release Date(s): July 26, 2016

In We Happy Few you live within a community where people alter their personalities by taking a pill called Joy. The drug is meant to erase all unhappy memories such as war and poverty but your world is altered and you no longer see it for what it is. Your goal in this game is to escape without people noticing you are off your Joy but there is a catch, this game does not have a save feature, so if you are caught then you must start from the very beginning. The community is also randomly generated each time you play.

4. Horizon Zero Dawn


Platform(s): PlayStation 4

Release Date(s): NA February 28 2017, EU March 1 2017, UK March 3 2017

Just like how some games are going into the futuristic post-apocalyptic theme, Horizon Zero Dawn introduces a new concept of going back to a more primitive lifestyle. Humans have become overrun by mechanized dinosaurs and other creatures and are no longer the rulers of the world. The character you play as is a hunter and an archer who needs to kill these creatures and collect the materials they are made out of.

5. RESIDENT EVII: biohazard


Platform(s): Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Release Date(s): WW January 24, 2017

Currently playable as a teaser on the PlayStation, Resident Evil 7 starts anew with unfamiliar characters and no returning ones. Little is known about this game besides the fact that it is in a first-person perspective and is set in rural America. The title itself is supposed to be a clue to how the game will play out.

6. Pokémon GO


Platform(s): iOS, Android

Release Date(s): July 2016

Coming to mobile phones soon, this (AR) augmented reality game will also feature the Pokémon GO Plus which is a device that is worn to notify the player when a Pokémon is near. Pokémon will be found specifically related to their types; Water-type will be found around lakes and rivers while Flying-type may be seen in trees or in the air. In order to stoke up in supplies the player will have to visit monuments or museums. The player will also be able to trade and battle with other players they come in contact with.

7. Kingdom Hearts III


Platform(s): PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Release Date(s): Rumored Winter 2016

A long awaited game, Kingdom Hearts III will have new weapons, new locations, new battle techniques, and new movement such as running on walls. It will also include a new transform ability where your Keyblade can now change into swords, rocket launchers and more. The fighting feature is also said to be more challenging and quicker paced. Worlds confirmed are: Tangled, Big Hero 6, Twilight Town, Hercules’ Mt. Olympus, and Mysterious Tower.

8. Battlefield 1


Platform(s): Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Release Date(s): WW October 21, 2016

Like other Battlefield games, this one is inspired by historical events, specifically World War I. Weapons are historically accurate and melee weapons are categorized into heavy or light. Players also have the option to take over vehicles such as tanks or aircrafts. The locations are based on real-life areas within our world and the multiplayer is said to support up to 64 people in one server.

Platform(s): Xbox One, PlayStation 4

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
