Destiny 2 PC vs PS4 Graphics Comparison
During my recent trip to Bellevue and Bungie HQ, which was provided by Activision, I got to check out Destiny 2 on PC. The game arrives tomorrow, but I was playing the final retail build a solid PC. As a mainly PC gamer, this was like a dream come true, and solidified that Destiny 2 PC is the definitive version of the game.

Diablo III was the big winner in May 2012, as far as game sales go. Blizzard’s dungeon crawling, loot grinding PC title is the first of its kind to take the top spot in physical retail sales for a PC game since StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty did it back in 2010.

Research Firm Predicts Horizon: Zero Dawn To Match Uncharted 4 Sales
Horizon: Zero Dawn, the next big PS4 exclusive set for release next Tuesday, could have some big shoes to fill if one research firm is to be believed. Gaming research firm SuperData is expecting Horizon: Zero Dawn to net about 6 million sales by the end of the year and 8 million total, according to a report by GameFly.
That total sales number is important, as it would put the new property by Guerilla Games right alongside established gaming royalty, as it would be close to the sales totals of games like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.
