X-Men Destiny Review
Silicon Knights doesn’t exactly have the best track record on the current hardware generation. They’ve had their success in the past, but Too Human for Xbox 360 -- designed to be a trilogy -- hasn't even had a sequel announced, and there’s a large contingent who will greet such news with a yawn.

All that changed today, though, with the release of seven new high-resolution screenshots from Reckoning that show just how far the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC RPG has come during that time.
