Cognition An Erica Reed Thriller Episode 3 : The Oracle Review
Erica Reed is back for the third episode of Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller, The Oracle. By now, you should probably understand why type of game Cognition is. If you want a more in depth review of the mechanics and game play of Cognition, check out my review on Episode 1: The Wise Monkey, or my review on Episode 2: The Hangman.
After The Hangman, we were left with Erica starting to piece together the bigger picture that was being created. Everything from Erica’s brothers death, to her friends being targeted, none of it was a coincidence. Somebody is after Erica, and this someone has a bigger plan that Erica never thought was possible.
The Oracle is easily the most story focused episode so far of the Cognition saga. From the first couple scenes of the episode, you learn some new things about characters that turn the story upside down. You learn that another character Erica has been talking with, has Cognition powers similar to those of her own. This revelation becomes the main focus for Erica, since she can now view important memories right before her eyes, instead of sometimes getting little pieces of a much bigger puzzle.

Top Games We Hope Launch on the Next Xbox
In case you didn’t know, Microsoft is set to unveil the successor to the Xbox 360 on May 21st, 2013. The entire gaming world knows Microsoft is planning to release a new console, but gamers are still in the dark on what the next Xbox can really do. Rumors have been circulating for what feels like years, but with conflicting rumors, gamers really have no clue what Microsoft has going on in their super secret labs.
So until that fateful day where the Xbox 720 ( is anyone else sick of calling it that?) is revealed, we at For the Love of Gaming have been talking about what games we would love to see launch with the console. Here are the top games the crew wants to see.
Casey: Fallout 4 
The problem with an upcoming console is I have no basis for my wishful thinking, other than visuals. However, there is a game that I wouldn’t even mind having released on the 360, but with Bethesda having said little to nothing on the topic, any reveals will most likely be aiming at a next-gen release. Fallout 4. The Post-Apocalyptic-FPS-RPG-Sandbox franchise has its roots in top-down RPG, like Baldur’s Gate; from there it has become one of the most coveted franchises among core gamers. I personally have clocked 300 hours or more in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. The open world has such an amazing story to tell and the narrative really causes the player to become attached to the happenings in the world. With the more recent release of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it is clear that Bethesda is improving upon their textures and slowly moving away from the stigma that their games lack proper de-bugging. A graphics engine even relatively close to that of Skyrim (amped up with the capabilities of a new console) coupled with the amazing storytelling of each Fallout game will create an amazing experience that is almost certain to make GOTY if/when it releases. I CAN NOT WAIT.
