Destiny 2's Allegiance quest is something new for the series - a decision to be made between two factions as part of the story.
Not only does the decision to stand with the Drifter or the Vanguard change how you interact with certain characters, but it also changes the type of missions you'll play - and could have wider story implications down the line.
It's worth nothing this has nothing to do with the Thorn quest, which was released at the same time during Forsaken's Season of the Drifter - so feel free to do that quest entirely separately when you are ready.

Halo Infinite is finally available, bringing with it answers to a question we've been pondering ever since the initial 2018 SlipSpace engine reveal: can this game actually deliver a decent experience on last-gen Xbox hardware? And by extension, if it can, to what extent do you get additional scalability on the still brand-new Xbox Series consoles? The answers are intriguing - particularly when you consider Xbox Series S vs Xbox One X: a genuinely fascinating battle that pits the older, yet more powerful GPU in the Scorpio Engine against a more finely balanced machine in the form of the new junior Xbox.

In celebration of yesterday's N7 Day, one of Mass Effect 2's senior cinematic designers has offered some insight into the development of certain scenes.
In a Twitter thread, Ed Douglas described his thought process behind the Samara sequences in the Normandy.
As Samara is such a contemplative, meditative character, Douglas framed her scenes in symmetrical compositions, inspired by Chris Doyle's cinematography in Yi-Mou Zhang's Hero.
The use of symmetry then informs Samara's relationship with Shepard.

A tense, imaginative thriller that buckles under the weight of its own ambition. If this review was nowt but swear words - and by that, I mean just an endless rant of disgusting words glued end-to-end ad infinitum - I still wouldn't be able to properly convey how much The Occupation frustrates me. The Occupation review Developer: White Paper Games Publisher: Humble Bundle Platform: Reviewed on PS4 Availability: Out March 5th on PC, PS4 and Xbox One Because the worst thing about this - the most egregious thing, the most toe-curlingly infuriating part of it - is that I love The Occupation.
