As we roll into the last week of October, there are some big-name releases arriving to taunt gamers\u2019 wallets.<\/p>\n

Whether it be Halo 5: Guardians<\/em> or WWE 2K16<\/em>, there\u2019s something to please everyone; so here are our picks for the biggest games launching this week:<\/p>\n

Halo 5: Guardians – October 27<\/strong><\/h3>\n

(Xbox One)<\/em><\/p>\n

Coming this week\u00a0is the next major episode in what is arguably the most beloved first-person shooter series of all time.<\/p>\n

The Halo<\/em> franchise is nearly synonymous with Xbox, so Halo 5: Guardians<\/em> is a huge deal for Microsoft.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen quite a bit of multiplayer footage, but not much is known of the campaign and its cryptic story.<\/p>\n

What we do know is that the mercenary Spartan Locke will feature heavily alongside Master Chief, but they won\u2019t exactly be buddies, as Locke is hunting down the iconic hero this time round.<\/p>\n

There will, however, be an onslaught of awesome spartan as well as alien weaponry, some crazy new enemies and truly spectacular fire-fights coming our way in Halo 5<\/em>.<\/p>\n
