The Destiny 2 beta kicked off last night, giving players a glimpse at the tagline behind the sequel: A world without light. What’s really different then?

If that was one of your major requests for Destiny 2, then good news: You’ll be getting all that and more. “

Gran Turismo sport has all the ingredients to return it to its rightful place on the podium. Whether or not they get the recipe right is yet to be seen.
From PC to straight outta console, how well does Marvel Heroes Omega make a platform transition? Surprisingly decently actually, as Gazillion's port manages to cram the loot-heavy experience into a console-friendly design scheme with some rough edges.
A good loot box never feels like a coupon. It feels like a moment. …
