This anime-style action game about fighting off the creatively-named “others” was one of the many trailers we peeped during Xbox’s big reveal real yesterday.

As any good Guardian knows, Destiny 2 isn’t just a jargon-filled sci-fi loot ’em up. It’s just as much, if not more so, a far-future fashion show.

The Invisible Man – Movie Review Rating: A- (Great) Trailer/Thumbnail Courtesy Universal Pictures The horror genre doesn’t get nearly enough recognition for how it handles certain subject matter.

Bloodshot – Movie Review Rating: D (Very Bad) Trailer/Thumbnail Courtesy Sony Pictures Watching Bloodshot, one is almost reminded of the loud, absurd and moronic action movies that once starred the likes of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone.

My Spy – Movie Review Rating: B (Good) Trailer/Thumbnail Courtesy Elevation Pictures The premise for My Spy isn’t the most original concept in the world.
