Do you have friends who don't play Destiny? Do you wish they would play Destiny? Well, according to an update on Bungie's blog, "Refer-a-Friend" is coming soon. Maybe you have a friend who will be getting Destiny as a gift this season Perhaps their gift-giver will even be picking it up for them at a holiday[...]

While I have made my reservations of the newly implemented Destiny micro-transactions known in the past, on top of the others in the community who are a

We've heard a lot of rumours about what happened, and explanations for how Bungie bungled the narrative prior to release. Previously, we'd heard there had been a run in between long time Bungie writer, Joe Stanten and the developer which caused him to leave during production In a lengthy report verified by six sources, Kotaku have[...]

The Oryx fight at the end of the Destiny's King's Fall raid is a rather tough proposition for six players. It's designed specifically with six players in

As revealed by Bungie, Tuesday at 10AM, The Taken King raid will be getting its official Hard Mode This usually adds several other puzzle parts to the Raid for you to find out on top of just generally making enemies harder. So have at it, if you and your crew are in the suggested 300-320 area[...]

A few days ago there was a worrying report that datamined files had been found that stated Bungie were going to be selling consumable items in Destiny as part of their new micro-transaction currency, Silver This would have gone back on their promise about not influencing the main game and only selling cosmetics, so there[...]

I've been very cautious about the micro-transactions in Destiny. They went into effect yesterday, and as of right now, they are only for emotes, which are

I hope Bungie just keep a sense of perspective on them going forward. Destiny has a huge universe with more aliens to shoot than you can fathom However, as the game has progressed, one thing I've found interesting is the new 'big bads' that have emerged First we had the vague Darkness, then the Hive god[...]

It was also confusing to those who didn't understand it, and caused a lot of people to drop off after that game's main campaign. In a new interview with Kotaku, creative director Luke Smith says that Bungie knew that the way it worked was a little botched when the game launched Smith admitted: The original Light system,[...]

What Bungie have done, feels much closer to Halo campaign missions of old, really giving us that Destiny experience we've been saying we want for a while now Everything here feels upped significantly Worth noting though, this being an expansion and not a full new game, there are only eight missions which should take you[...]

The big question now has been a constant ask for Halo: Reach, Bungie's farewell to the universe, to join the collection. Well, we might well have an answer, although, I'm not sure you are going to like it much Answering a fan on Twitter, Xbox head Phil Spencer seemed to shut down the question by suggesting[...]

Bungie Community Manager Cozmo confirmed the achievement in a tweet saying: Congratulations @Gothalion @Professorbroman @TheTeawrex @fallingcow629 @charionnatv @rebelize_ on achieving World's First for King's Fall. — Cozmo (@Cozmo23) September 18, 2015 You can actually watch it all happen right here The win pops around 4:26:00 It's pretty exciting stuff! Every time a new raid comes out in Destiny,[...]

I've been playing Destiny: The Taken King since its release on Tuesday. I'm a big fan of the changes it brings, and the way it seems to have rejuvenated

I've spent all morning playing through The Taken King, and I'l reserve my opinions until I can do a proper review. One thing that is worth a highlight

I'm pretty excited, I must say. To help promote the game, Bungie have released this neat little trailer, which takes your stats and throws them together in a neat little personalised package To get your own and see mine, just head over here, and put in your preferred console username. Apparently, I'm int he top 1% of[...]

The Taken King is just two days away, and I'm very excited to see what Bungie have done with the game The new story content, weapons and more will be likely keep Destiny players locked in for a while. One of the big new additions will undoubtedly be the new raid, King's Fall Traditionally raids have[...]

This year, Xbox One players of Destiny haven't been able to get several items in Destiny due to PlayStation exclusivity. There isn't too much of huge

As announced in Bungie's Weekly Update. the soundtrack will be coming to Amazon and iTunes on September 15th. No price has been announced yet, but the music from the first year costs £6.99 on iTunes right now, so I assume it will be around there. The Destiny soundtrack from last year had moments of pure brilliance on[...]

The Taken King is so very close now. We've seen the marketing really ramp up over the last month as we head into Season 2, even catching a glimpse at how

I've always been interested in seeing how Eastern Culture advertises Western games. I see how it works the other way round all the time, but catching

I've yet to jump in, but I can't wait to see how it has panned out. If you want a ludicrously in-depth look at what is changing, Bungie have now released the patch notes for the game They go on quite a bit, but pick and choose as you please. There are even more changes set to[...]

One of the problems with the last-gen version of Destiny is that the game is growing at a ludicrously vast size. This is an issue for older games consoles

Some, like me, learned to quite like it, others flat out hated it, but due to Dinklage's tight schedule, it's a moot point now as Bungie decided to replace him with veteran voice actor Nolan North going forward. And thanks to the big 2.0 patch overhaul in the game today, Nolan North has now taken his place as[...]

We are seeing signs of that changing in The Taken King, but we won't know for sure until next week. Why did the narrative fail though? Bungie, known for Halo, usually have this side of things figured out Well, matching up with long held rumours that there was once a much more coherent story, it seems[...]

The big complaint about Desinty, up until this point, has been the lack of story in the game. I understand it too. Coming from the creators of Halo, you'd

The poison like drain of its bullets were extremely effective in the Crucible, making it one of the most used, but equally, hated weapons in all the game. Bungie recognized this as a problem too In a recent interview with Edge (Via GamesRadar) sandbox designer Jon Weisnewsk, explained the recent choice to nerf the weapon in an[...]

Last year, composer Marty O'Donnell was unceremoniously dumped by Bungie, who he had become synonymous with In response, O'Donnell filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Well, the ruling on that has now concluded, with the courts falling in favour of the composer, awarding him $142,500 and allowing him to retain stock in the developer..  Thanks to a very[...]

As revealed on the Bungie's Weekly Update, starting September 8th and running until September 14th, you'll be able to experience all of the new crucible modes and maps coming in the expansion for free This will include modes Mayhem, which will allow a ton of Super use, and  Rift, a capture the flag variant. Take a[...]

Well, this is interesting. Last night, after it being teased for the last three weeks, we finally got a look at the equipable sword in Destiny: The Taken

I said at the time, if it was only a week or two dely, then it would be fine, but as it turns out, it won't even be that long. During their stream yesterday, Bungie unveiled secrets about the new raid King's Fall It was revealed during the stream that the raid would hit a mere[...]
