Join independent journalists and industry decision-makers at GamesBeat NEXT, returning to San Francisco November 2–3.

As August slowly creeps along, we find ourselves coming closer to the end of summer. You could spend your last sunny days outside enjoying the fleeting moments of warm afternoons with leaf-covered trees gently swaying in the wind. Or you could spend them inside looking at this gallery of gaming-themed sand sculptures!
And don’t pull an Anakin Skywalker and tell me how much you hate sand! I know you don’t despise it more than having to go outside, you stereotypical gamers you. And I say that with the greatest level of endearment.
