Gaming season is here

Get ready for a bounty of triple-A gaming titles over the next two months. Here is a preview of what’s to come

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

Publisher’s Square Enix will be releasing their Guardians of the Galaxy game in October as well. You get to play as Peter Quill AKA Star-Lord and you have to get your team consisting of Gamora, Drax, Groot and Rocket to work with you on missions. Of course, there will be plenty of humour and shenanigans with this game. Something that was sorely lacking in the Avengers game. You can also scavenge for things during the game, which can be used to upgrade weapons, shields and more.
