It's Here
After year's of development, and mountains of hype, No Man's Sky finally arrived this week. Early response to the PS4 version has been positive (though the game is not for everyone), but the PC version faced some issues on Steam preventing people from enjoying it.
Back On Top
Breaking Sony's nearly year-long win streak, the Xbox One outsold the PS4 during July in the United States, Microsoft announced this week, citing NPD data. There is no word on how many units were shifted during the month, but Microsoft is happy to be back on top.
THQ Is Back (Kinda)

In April 2015, Nordic Games acquired a number of THQ's intellectual properties during a bankruptcy auction. These include the Darksiders, Red Faction, and MX vs. ATV franchises.
