Now that finals are over for college students and many high schoolers are heading into the holiday break, it’s a great time to take a study break and relax.
Video games are a great way to take a break from school. They can help you relax and distract you from thinking about next quarter or semester. Fortunately, a bunch of great games just came out over the last few months:
Call of Duty returns with the newest game in the franchise taking place in the future. COD: BOPS2 has an immersive single player campaign that spans over two different time periods, a Special Strike Force game mode, the popular zombie survival mode, and a great online matchmaking system.

Far Cry 3 has its fair share of controversy, but this open world sandbox shooter is still a fantastic game that has received high praise.

The Dark Knight was one of my all time favorite movies, and now the sequel, The Dark Knight Rises, is out on Blu-Ray and DVD. If you have a Blu-Ray player and love the Dark Knight trilogy, you owe it to yourself to sit down with some friends, popcorn, a nice flatscreen TV, and the Dark Knight Rises Blu-Ray for a night of fun.

If you haven’t seen it already (I don’t know how you couldn’t have), the Avengers is a great superhero action movie that blends Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America and others into a two hour battle to save the world.
