Microsoft recently unveiled their upcoming HoloLens, an augmented reality headset. And while the fancy video makes the HoloLens look extraordinarily cool (which is the whole point of the videos existence), the part that piqued gamers interest was when Minecraft appeared. Just like that, Minecraft blocks landed on a table and became a virtual set of Legos minus the bleeding feet. If HoloLens actually works as demonstrated in this video, unlike the Kinect 2, it could differentiate itself from all the cool kids and their virtual reality headsets in many innovative ways (as well as averting any Sword Art Online or .hack situations). With all that out of the way, here are the top 5 games or series that would translate well onto HoloLens, regardless of how likely.

If you grew up in the era where the name “Rare” meant something, you might be excited about this bit of news. If you grew up in the era where “Rare” meant Kinect games and cheap cash-ins, you're probably a little less excited about the news. Nevertheless, Microsoft has plans to bring back several classic Rare series.

Paul James writes "2015 is here and in the opinions of many, the year stands to be one of the biggest, and most applauded since the early years of the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2008/2009. After a rocky 2013 and first half of 2014, the Xbox One has begun to regain its composure. A temporary holiday price drop in the United States has garnered some interest while exclusive releases such as Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection along with Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Destiny have driven gamers to pick up the system. Microsoft also wisely removed Kinect from the bundle allowing for level pricing with Sonys PS4. Microsoft have picked up some good momentum, and the lost goodwill of 2013 seems almost completely gone, but 2015 is a whole new story so as I cast my eyes forward, this is what I want from Xbox in 2015."

Dealspwn reports: "Zoo Tycoon was one of the most bizarre launch titles in console history. Partly because it tried to blend casual Kinect minigames with surprisingly in-depth simulation, but mainly because it actually worked. Though zoos could never grow large enough to be truly challenging, Zoo Tycoon was rather fun if somewhat overpriced. For £14.99, though, we reckon it's definitely worth a punt, even if GAME's stock of the physical version is sadly out of stock."
