Embrace the upcoming holiday cheer and sing it loud for your consoles to hear

By JORDAN OSCAR | Sep. 5, 2014

The persistent and ever-evolving online world of Destiny should keep many gamers busy as they team up with friends to explore the galaxy and defend the last safe city of earth from annihilation. Destiny courtesy of Bungie They?re big; they?re mostly black ? for now ? and they?re hungry for new games to truly unleash their power. Yes, sadly our summers have come to an end and with it another season of games to keep our newly unpackaged, game crazed machines at bay. This summer?s big games like Wolfenstein and Watch Dogs were enough to keep most gamers and new consoles busy and allowed people who haven?t taken the plunge into ?the next generation of gaming? to have some fun. Revamped and updated versions of some of 2013?s hottest games like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 edition of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls and the critically lauded The Last of Us? PlayStation 4 exclusive Remastered edition rewarded those who dove in head first. But like the Cookie Monster craves cookies, our consoles crave games. And real gamers know the months leading up to Christmas pack a horde of heavy weight titles.

Whether at home, school or traveling, summer is typically time to unwind away from the grind of schoolwork and a full class load. What better way to sum up summer than a playlist of songs that represent the season itself?
