News Bungie Shoots a Few Holes in Destiny's House of Wolves Expansion Leak
Pew pew
We know everyone loves a good leak, especially when it's a big game under the spotlight, but a lot of the time, these rumours are shot down before they can really gather momentum. That's not quite what's happened regarding Destiny and yesterday's House of Wolves leak, but developer Bungie's tried putting a dampener on it anyway. Dousing the...
Rumour Destiny's Second Expansion House of Wolves Will Enter Orbit in May
Howling at the moon
We may not have been the biggest fans of Destiny's first expansion, The Dark Below, but we must admit that its second attempt, House of Wolves, sounds better already. We won't post any of the images here on this page, but according to a supposed leak on the ever-informative Reddit, the DLC will launch in May, and it'll push the...

News This Trailer Shines a Light On Destiny's PlayStation Exclusive Content in The Dark Below
Argh it burns
Since its release, Destiny has divided opinions, but the fact of the matter is that a massive amount of players are still grinding through Strikes and Raids in order to snag that legendary loot, and those same users were probably happy to see Bungie's shooter make an appearance at Sony's PlayStation Experience event earlier today...

News Destiny's On-Disc DLC Locations Aren't Quite as Dastardly as You Might Think
Chop shop?
There's been a lot of noise made about Destiny's DLC locations, some of which can be accessed through glitching in the base game. Although there's not much to see in these environments, many players have expressed anger that they can be found in the first place, suggesting content has been taken from the title so that it can be released...
News Destiny's First Expansion Boosts the Light Level Cap to 32, Along with Other Additions
Get what you pay for
Destiny's first expansion pack, The Dark Below, is set to release on the 9th December. We already know how much it'll cost, and how it plans to aim for better storytelling, but there are a few smaller, interesting details that you may not have picked up on just yet. In an interview with
News Destiny's First Expansion Will Cost You £19.99/$19.99
Scoped and dropped
Unless you coughed up £34.99/$34.99 for Destiny's season pass, or nabbed it in the collector's edition, you'll need to put down £19.99/$19.99 for the sci-fi shooter's first expansion, The Dark Below. Confirmed to launch on 9th December, the DLC doesn't come cheap. It boasts a slew of features, including three new story...
News Bungie Aims to Shoot Down Criticism of Destiny's Story with the Game's First Expansion
Take me Hive-r
If you thought that Destiny's story was a bit of an unfulfilling mess, then you'll be delighted to know that developer Bungie aims to craft a better narrative with the title's first expansion, The Dark Below. Talking to Eurogamer.net, studio president Harold Ryan states that the downloadable content has "a very different approach to...

Talking Point Would You Play Destiny in Third-Person?
Out-of-body experience
There's absolutely no doubt that Destiny is an incredibly smooth and polished first-person shooter: its controls are silky, its aiming is snappy and fast, and its gunplay in general is immensely satisfying. But what if the game adopted a third person viewpoint? What if you could see your Guardian at all times, essentially...
News Desperate for a Legendary Engram in Destiny? You can Apparently Grab a Few with This Exploit
Hoi, cheeky
How long has it been since you got your last legendary engram in Destiny? A few hours? A few days? At the rate ours tend to drop, we reckon that it's probably the latter. Nevertheless, if you're desperate for some good gear, YouTube channel Force Strategy Gaming has worked out a loot farming exploit that should be able to nab you plenty...
News Destiny Servers Go Offline as the Group Who Took Down the PSN Strike Again
What are you playing this weekend?
Here we go again. The infamous Lizard Squad group are apparently taking credit for attacking Destiny's servers, using DDoS attacks to cut players' connections to the game. If you were planning on blasting through the sci-fi shooter this weekend with some friends, it's certainly not an ideal situation. Developer...
August2014
Bang for your buck
Outside of the alpha and beta, we haven't heard or seen much regarding Destiny's competitive multiplayer offering. Both downloadable sneak peeks only offered one game type — control — so it's about time that we got a better look at the sci-fi shooter's various modes. And this trailer
News You Won't Be Able to Transfer Your Destiny Beta Characters into the Full Game
No surprises here
In unsurprising, but still slightly disappointing news, Bungie has revealed that you won't be able to transfer your Destiny beta character into the full game. Speaking on the title's official website, the daring developer stated that your avatar "won’t transfer to the final version of Destiny", while also noting that "the vaults...

Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Seven: One Last Beta Adventure on the Moon
We'll meet again
What a wild ride the Destiny beta has been. For a long time, Bungie's latest was the 'next big thing' that we knew next to nothing about; a couple of E3 appearances, some concept art here and there, and a single slice of gameplay footage to gawk at – it was only these things that gave us the slightest hint of what the game...
News A New Story Mission Is Taking You to the Moon in the Destiny Beta Tomorrow
We would never have guessed
Tomorrow marks the last full day of the Destiny beta, and what a huge success it appears to have been. Writing on its official blog, developer Bungie has confirmed that you'll be heading to the Moon, as the mission that's been sitting on our map screens since the beta began will be unlocked. Unfortunately, the new...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Six: Tackling the Strike's Co-Op Difficulty Spike
Got your back
All the way back in the hazy days of the Destiny alpha, complaints about the download's co-op based Strike mission were rife. Many argued that it was too hard compared to the other co-op activities, while others simply put forward the opinion that the big boss enemies of this hectic challenge were far too beefy, and that their total...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Five: Wasting Inordinate Amounts of Time at the Tower
The good life
When you really stop and think about it, Destiny's hub location dubbed the Tower is a beautiful thing. In a game where essentially all you do is shoot things in the head, the Tower provides a resting place where you can enjoy some downtime between stints of slaughter. You can introduce yourself to other players, buy new equipment, read...
Who Would Win Wednesdays Destiny Special
Overpowered, nerf
If you haven't already noticed, Push Square has been going Destiny mad over the past week or so. We've been keeping a diary for each day of our exploits in the beta, but we thought that we'd try something a little different with today's traditional Who Would Win Wednesdays. A feature that's usually reserved for
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Four: Loot, Glorious Loot
Max the satisfaction
If you've been playing the Destiny beta non-stop for the past four days, then you probably won't know what to do with yourself now that it's taking a two day break for maintenance purposes. It's a good thing, then, that I'm writing these diaries the day after events have taken place, which hopefully means that those withdrawal...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Three: The Crucible Presents Push Square vs. The World
We honestly weren't that bad
If there's anything that a modern game needs, it's a competitive multiplayer mode that's usually shoehorned into a single player title and treated like a second class component. Fortunately, Bungie is somewhat adept at crafting a solid online shooter, and it's clear that the studio's experience bleeds into Destiny's...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day Two: The Exploration of Old Russia
And not a stereotype in sight
For many, Destiny's biggest draw is its promise that you can explore huge, open areas with your buddies – or even complete strangers – as you scavenge the land for some lovely new loot. And I must admit, this is also the much hyped shooter's key component for me, as well. While I'm fairly confident that the story...
Feature The PS4 Destiny Diaries - Day One: Why Wouldn't You Want to Be a Robot?
Harder, better, faster, stronger
In the back of our minds, we all knew that it would happen. It always does. Once again, we felt the PlayStation Network creak under the weight of thousands of users trying to access the digital store and download the Destiny Beta at roughly the same time. Even Bungie's website felt the crushing demand of eager gamers...

Chances are, if you're hyped for Bungie's upcoming sci-fi epic, you'll already know how...
