Guardians and Goals – games you can play this week

8 September 2014

And Activision said: “Let there be light.”

This week marks the arrival of one of the most hyped games of 2014 – Destiny.

Having pre-ordered my copy and eagerly awaiting its arrival, I sincerely hope the title will not follow the same path as a certain open-world, hacking game recently released with similar fanfare.

Until then, here are the games you can play this week.

Destiny

Destiny releases for the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on 9 September 2014. Obviously, the physical copies for the Xbox One will only be available after the console launches locally on 23 September.

The game from Activision and Bungie is being hyped as a possible game of the year contender, with its fusion of FPS; RPG; open, dynamic worlds; inter-planetary travel; and co-op elements set to keep gamers busy for a while.

In terms of deciding whether the game has lived up to all expectations, we need your help. Let us know what you think of Destiny in the dedicated thread.

NHL 15

NHL 15 releases for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, and PS3 on 12 September 2014.

Having played the demo of this, and literally beat the bejesus out of my mate on the ice, I would recommend this game to all ice hockey fans. The actual sport is quite fun, too.
