News Bungie's Looking into Changing Destiny's Crucible Rewards System
Gunning for gold
To say that Destiny's loot system can be a bit frustrating is an understatement. Whether you're blessed by the random number Gods or not, you're rarely ever guaranteed a nice new weapon or armour piece, and this has no doubt been a source of negativity for many Guardians since the game launched last year. Fortunately, that's set to...

News Destiny's 1.1.1 Update Is Unleashed Tonight
On the pulse
Destiny's 1.1.1 patch is finally launching tonight, Bungie has confirmed via Twitter. As such, Guardians may be kicked from their current games, or may experience some technical hiccups.

Heroes unite
While some players are still desperate for the ability to automatically find other Guardians to attempt Raids with, Bungie refuses to budge on its stance of keeping matchmaking far away from Destiny's toughest trials.

News An Amazing Fireteam Managed to Beat Destiny's Hardest Raid Without Once Firing a Gun
What?
You need a group of six people to tackle Destiny's Raids efficiently, and even then, they can be pretty bloody tough. Filled with hordes of powerful enemies, demanding environments, and deadly bosses, the shooter's hardest challenges are where the elite love to show off their skills, but we reckon this run, in which one particular team never...
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.

Our first exposure to Grammy award winning rock band Imagine Dragons came during last year's The Game Awards.

Rumour Destiny to Explore the Plague of Darkness in September
Ghost busters
With slick shooting and some stunning scenery, Destiny would have been a shoo-in for our Game of the Year if there was a bit more substance to it. Bungie seems aware that its first-person shooter lacks content, though, and has plotted out a rather long roadmap of post-release support for the not-quite MMO. The plan was put into action...

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.

News DLC Locations Are Already Being Discovered in Destiny
If Bungie build it, they will glitch it
We’re not particularly fond of conspiracy theories, but there are a fair few who believe that Destiny is so darn empty because Activision wants to sell you the bulk of the game’s content as DLC. To be honest, we’re not sure that we’re 100 per cent on board with that idea, but it’s clear that the...

Let's be honest: the loot system in Destiny is broken. Bungie's latest big thing may be beautiful, but no one cares how good it looks when you can't find the gear that you want — even if you've spent several hours shooting into a void in the hope of finding something worthwhile.
