The Dark Below prologue
Are you sticking with Destiny? I’ve not made time for Destiny in a while but I still feel faithful to the game. Like everyone else; I need more content. I’m not in the PvP camp.

Destiny’s live action trailer is superb
I took part in the Destiny Beta and managed to go on one 3-person fireteam raid. It’s a good format. This is why we’ve three Guardians doing the tour in this very impressive trailer for launch day.
