  • X-Men Destiny New Screens And Trailer Show The New Generation Of X-Men

    X-Men Destiny is the upcoming action game from Silicon Knights which is being published by Activision. We will control 3 different characters in this game and we will have the option of choosing either the good side or the evil side of the X-Men.

    This game is slated for release on September 27, 2011 in North America. It will be released on PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS. This trailer was shown at Comic Con 2011 and we can spot the release date in this trailer.

    The three characters that we can control in the game include a girl and 2 guys. Their powers are still unknown and their background story is shrouded in mystery. We will be able to control their actions throughout the game which will determine our outcome. Whether we will join the evil side(Magneto) or the good side(Professor X), it will all depend on the choices that we will make in the game.

    Another new gameplay addition is the inclusion of X-Gene. It will allow players to experience mutant abilities of their favorite X-Men characters. So even though we won’t be able to play as Wolverine or Cyclops, we can still use their mutant powers.

    A couple of new screens were released on HeroHQ which is the official page of X-Men destiny on Facebook. It shows some pre-order costumes as well as in-game images.

One console still stands out from the rest, Xbox360 still sits firmly on the top of the sales numbers of 2011. Check out the graph below:

    Microsoft said the reason behind the success of their prized console was the release of Kinect. People went crazy after the motion sensor for the 360 and it lead to an enormous increase in sales for the console itself.

    Meanwhile, other consoles such as the PS3 and Wii are still falling behind. This report was shocking as PS3 saw more exclusive releases this year, Uncharted 3 being one of the major ones.
