I elected to miss the boat of this particular console cycle and build a PC instead, but if you’re a console gamer, chances are you’re undoubtedly stoked for Destiny. It’s the first huge release from Bungie since they got off the Halo franchise, and everything is indicating it’s going to be a pretty rad game. A public beta is starting up tomorrow for people with Sony consoles, with a Microsoft console beta coming next week.

Like a lot of games these days, a companion app has been released. It’s cleverly titled Destiny Companion (Free) and it doesn’t really sound like it does anything that new or exciting beyond what other similar companion apps have done. You’ll be able to inspect your dude, check your scores, communicate with friends, and things like that.

Are you guys excited for this? I’m starting to feel like these “second screen" companion apps don’t add a whole lot to the game, but maybe I’m wrong. I’ve yet to try one that really knocked my socks off. Maybe this is it?
