Black Ops 3, Fallout 4, Halo 5: The most anticipated games of the 2015 holiday season

Jacob Siegal

We’re primed for the busiest holiday season since the new generation of consoles kicked off in 2013, which means that over the next three months, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners are going to have some very difficult decisions to make.
