Destiny Beta (Video Game Preview)

Destiny 's alpha gave players a quick preview of the upcoming title for PlayStation 4 a few months back, while the all new beta version of the game released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in July. The newest build of the game includes more features that will be reflective of the final version of the game than any previous release.

Assuming the game gets better as it nears closer to launch, Organic Panic could be a game well worth looking into for fans of the platformer genre. The stars of Organic Panic are the fruits and vegetables. Each character has a unique set of abilities that are us...
