The girl with the purple balloon
With last week’s big release Destiny now in orbit, the remainder of the industry clearly thinks that it’s safe to release its wares.

News UK Sales Charts: Destiny Rocket Jumps into Podium Position
Strong showing from Activision's new super series
It would have been a bigger surprise this week if Destiny had failed to land in the top spot, but, as expected, it’s rocketed straight to the summit. The next big game from Bungie sold best on the PlayStation 4, and also smashed new intellectual property records in the process. As a result,...

News Zombie Apocalypse Sim Dying Light Lumbers onto PS4 and PS3 in January
Brainsss
In theory, Dying Light should be a fantastic game. It takes endless zombie hordes and combines them with Mirror's Edge-esque parkour mechanics.
