I have been a fan of Guitar Hero since it first came out years ago, though I fell off once they turned into a band game. The new guitar is awesome and comes as close to playing real guitar as you can get without becoming Rocksmith.
The song selection for the single player mode is OK, but it's still fun no matter what due to the unique experience. For this mode instead of you picking a cartoon-ish looking character you are in first person perspective and apart of different cover bands. You play in front of huge crowds that will cheer or boo based on your performance. The change is seamless and seeing how wild the bands get during performances is really fun.
The big selling point though is Guitar Hero TV. This is the online component where you select a streaming channel that plays music videos while you perform the songs. They have 30 - 60 minute blocks dedicated to different genres and you get paired up with 9 other players and ranked based on score and performance. It's incredibly easy to just get lost in the different blocks of music and plays for hours strumming along and ranking up.
If you get one music based game this year, make is Guitar Hero Live!

Halo 5 looks amazing at 60fps and the graphics are awesome with space battles going on in the background as you fight soldiers on foot. The story is fun to play through with friends and the tweaks made to multiplayer all make sense.
In my opinion it's the best shooter released this year.

This is 2K's second attempt at a wrestling game on these new consoles. Last year's effort was missing a ton of features and modes and what was offered felt bare bones. This year offers a career mode that is much more fleshed out and allows you to create a character that you can take through a full career similar to 2K's other sports games and the experience is fun.
There are definitely some glitchy moments like cut scenes that pause randomly to load dialogue or the AI going nuts for no reasons during matches, flying all over the place. The game looks good and plays OK. It has plenty of match types and a large roster of stars.
My biggest complaint is I am kind of done with these showcase modes. It was neat to relive the attitude era a few games ago, but if I want to relive a certain superstar's career (this year's showcase is about Steve Austin) I would rather watch it on their network, not play it.
Overall I think if you like wrestling and you liked the controls of the previous games this one is much more fleshed out than WWE 2K15
