Our first official look
Activision's been busy over the last 24 hours taking down Destiny 2 gameplay videos on YouTube.

Gamescom 2017 People Were Overly Critical of Mass Effect: Andromeda, Says EA
Also says the series could return
Mass Effect: Andromeda didn't deserve the amount of criticism that it was subjected to when it launched earlier in the year.

Gamescom 2017 Destiny 2 European Deadzone Gameplay Shows an Improved Sandbox
See new patrols and events in action
The sandbox environments of the first Destiny were perhaps one of its most stunted aspects.

With Destiny 2, Bungie...

Gamescom 2017 A New Pro PS4 Controller Has Been Announced
