Now we get to the fun part. Remember when I said I never wanted to see Old Russia again? Destiny proved that to be an untrue statement over and over again while I played. As a matter of fact, I can’t wait for the beta; even after having driven, walked, and shot through Old Russia for hours on end, I still want to see more of it.

My Time With the Destiny Alpha – The Devils’ Lair
Once I had my fill of the Tower (read: spent all of my money on gear) I headed back out.

The moment character creation was done, I was thrust into the world as a Guardian who had something to prove.

My Time With the Destiny Alpha – Character Creation
We’ll kick things off where most games begin, character creation. However, before I even began to think about deciding what my character would look like, the game asked me the most important question affecting gameplay, what class would I be?

ABZU Announced
According to the trailer for ABZU that was shown at the Sony E3 Press Conference, “Ab” means water, and “zu” means “to know.” That said, I have very little idea of what exactly is going on in this game which developer Giant Squid Studios is bringing to us.
