Destiny review

5 stars
£42.00
Tested on PS4. Also available on PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One

We spent hours playing Bungie's epic MMO/FPS hybrid and managed to tear ourselves away just long enough to write this review
Expectation can be something of a double-edged sword. One edge is the lovely everyone-wants-to-buy-our-game edge. The other is the everyone-thinks-this-game-is-something-that-it’s-not edge. It’s very possible that no game in the history of games typifies that more than Destiny.

Forza Horizon 2 review

5 stars
From
£44.00
Tested on Xbox One

Forza Motorsport’s free-roaming cousin gets a new next-gen playground. Does it deliver, or stall at the lights?
After initial concerns that it would dilute the hardcore spirit of the game too much, we unexpectedly fell head over heels with the original Forza Horizon on Xbox 360. That meant expectations were high for the sequel, particularly considering its access to the turbo-charged power of a next-gen console.

While it uses the same graphics engine and Drivatar tech as Forza Motorsport 5,Horizon 2 is a very different game to its track-oriented teammate. For starters, it only forces you to drive around in an underpowered coupé for a handful of races before handing you the keys to a Ferrari, glistening in the mediterranean sun.
