E3 2015 20 New Destiny: The Taken King Screenshots Aim to Blow You Away
Return of the king?
Destiny fans are getting pretty hyped about upcoming expansion The Taken King. The meaty add-on, which is set to launch on the 15th September, includes whole new areas, an entirely new storyline, and numerous fresh activities. After two relatively disappointing slices of downloadable content in its lifetime so far, we're hoping...
News Prototype 2 Is Probably Getting a Re-Release on PS4
Fair enough
Not quite a megaton E3 2015 announcement, it looks as though Prototype 2 is coming to the PlayStation 4 courtesy of a remaster. The PlayStation 3 sandbox title puts you in the role of an overpowered, biologically enhanced super-hero-of-sorts, and basically lets you go absolutely mental as you fight the army, monsters, and God knows what...
Map packs will be coming to the PS4 first
After a partnership that lasted an entire console generation, Activision has broken ties with Xbox to team up with Sony. Of course, Call of Duty: Black Ops III is still coming to the Xbox One, but all of the game's DLC will hit the PlayStation 4 first. Treyarch had some fast-paced gameplay to show off as...
E3 2015 Destiny: The Taken King DLC Coming to PS4, Possibly on Blu-Ray
It was... Destiny
Destiny will be receiving a new expansion pack in the form of The Taken King and it'll be releasing later this year on September 15th of this very year, bringing with it some new sub-classes and enemies to blow to hell. Sounds pretty standard. Usually we'd expect to see expansions release as downloadable items, but there's a...
E3 2015 Transformers: Devastation's First Trailer Rocks Out on PS4
Burn rubber
Call us cynical like grumpy old man Autobot Kup, but we reckon this first trailer for Transformers: Devastation is a bit underwhelming. Confirming that it's in the works over at Platinum Games and will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, the video's full of robotic violence, but we honestly expected something a little more...
News Prepare for Destiny to Take to the Stage During Sony's E3 2015 Press Conference
You could call it fate
So, remember when we said that Sony's E3 2015 press conference would be absolutely packed with third party content? Well, to no one's surprise, it looks like one of those third party titles will be Destiny. Developer Bungie's teased that the sci-fi shooter will be making an appearance, and Sony's presser is really the only...
News Will Call of Duty: Black Ops III End Microsoft's DLC Exclusivity Deal?
Total recall
For many a year now Xbox gamers have been receiving the downloadable content for Call of Duty games much earlier than we PlayStation enthusiasts have. However, some eagle-eyed fans have noted that a recent listing on the green giant's website makes no mention of the platform holder's usual timed DLC exclusivity for Call of Duty: Black...
News Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare PS4 Update Fixes Exo Zombies and Multiplayer Exploits
Dead to rights
We may not be getting the latest add-on pack just yet, but at least Sledgehammer's latest update for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on the PlayStation 4 brings a few fixes while we sit patiently and try not to let the green-eyed monster take over. Not everyone will be too pleased with the update, though – particularly those who've...

Reaction Destiny's Prison of Elders Is a Step in the Right Direction
Prepare for combat
Raids can be a lot of fun, especially with the right people. The six-player co-op activities have long served as Destiny's true endgame challenges which require teamwork, prior knowledge, and plenty of effective firepower – but they're not for everyone. For starters, they don't allow for any kind of matchmaking, so you need to...
News Good Lord, Activision Made $1.28 Billion in 2015's First Quarter
Time to buy another yacht
We're used to seeing plenty of big numbers when it comes to the games industry these days, but this latest figure from mega publisher Activision Blizzard will likely have rival companies turning green with envy. The firm's reported that it earned $1.28 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2015, ending 31st March...
Live Say Goodbye to Raids and Hello to Destiny's Prison of Elders Right Here
Jail break
No, the Prison of Elders isn't a harshly named old folks' home - it's actually one of the main draws of Destiny's next DLC, House of Wolves. The download, which will be available later this month, doesn't feature a Raid, so the Prison of Elders will replace the traditional endgame activities - at least to some degree. As far as we know,...
Rumour The Taken King Is Destiny's Big September DLC
Return of the king
A while back now, it was rumoured that Destiny would be getting a larger expansion in September. The rumour started with a supposedly leaked image of the shooter's DLC plan, and now, eagle eyed NeoGAF user Kifimbo has spotted a trademark for 'The Taken King', which has appeared alongside what seems to be a logo. With the title's...
News Here's Your First Look at Destiny's Raid Replacing Prison of Elders Co-Op Mode
Fight or die
The teaser trailer for Destiny's highly anticipated Prison of Elders activity has hit the web, and it gifts us with our first look at the co-op component.

Live Find Out Exactly What Destiny's Trials of Osiris Is Right Here
Details on Destiny's new PVP content
Bungie's kept quiet about Destiny's Trials of Osiris, a new type of endgame multiplayer activity that's going to appear in the upcoming DLC, House of Wolves. With any luck, it's going to make the Crucible more rewarding for veteran players. Fortunately, we'll know exactly what the Trials consist of later...
The tower that refuses to fall
For all the online hate that Destiny gets, you'd think that it'd be a somewhat unpopular game. On the contrary, and as history has so often taught us, the most popular entertainment almost always comes under the most fire, and this is true of Bungie's sci-fi shooter, too, which is still being enjoyed religiously by its...
News Destiny's Getting Some Very Positive Changes, Not Just for DLC Buyers
We're getting there
House of Wolves, Destiny's second piece of DLC, releases next month. It'll contain new story missions, Strikes, and gear, but fortunately, those who don't plan on purchasing the add-on will still benefit from a few thoughtful changes that Bungie's bringing to the table with its release. Now, Destiny gets a lot of flack,...
Live Explore Destiny's New Social Space in House of Wolves Right Here
Enter the Reef, for real this time
Destiny players will already know of the Reef; a location that appears on the game's map only to house a couple of story cutscenes and nothing more. The shooter's next slice of DLC, House of Wolves, will open this area up, however, and you'll have a chance to see the DLC's new social space in all of its glory later...
News Here's Your First Look at Destiny's House of Wolves Social Space in the Reef
A brave new world
Ahead of tomorrow's livestream of the location, Bungie's released a teaser trailer that shows a quick glimpse of the Reef's social space in Destiny's second DLC, House of Wolves. As you'd expect, it's quite dark, moody, and, er, purple. It'll boast new characters, upgrades, and gear. If you're sick of seeing the Tower, you'll...
News Activision Says It Won't Drive Guitar Hero into the Ground with Annualised Releases Again
Same strings, different tune
If you were around for the great Guitar Hero boom that was all the rage a good few years ago - a boom that filled multiple homes with currently dust-ridden plastic instruments - then you'll know that Activision all but killed the franchise's demand by releasing more games than most people could keep up with. With the...
News Destiny's House of Wolves Won't Come with a New Raid
Wait, what?
Essentially the most important and time consuming end-game activity for any Guardian wanting to reach the highest light level, Raids have been a focal point as far as Bungie's concerned. Since Destiny launched last year, the developer has added and tweaked two of these challenges, one in the core game, and one in The Dark Below, the...
News Hunt Down Your First Look at Destiny's House of Wolves With Its First Trailer
The will of the pack
As expected, Activision's gone ahead and revealed the teaser trailer for House of Wolves, Destiny's second slice of DLC. It's a decent little snippet that hints at a promising storyline, although after what the game's promised in the past, you'll have to excuse us for not getting our hopes up.

News Destiny's House of Wolves DLC Lands a Confirmed Release Date
Howling for you
Destiny's second slice of DLC, House of Wolves, has finally been given a release date by publisher Activision. Your Guardian's next big adventure will commence on the 19th May, and yes, that's the same day that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launches. It's about time, too - even lasting fans of the sci-fi shooter are beginning to complain...
