In Destiny 1 there are three PC races – humans and the awakened (who were once human) and the robots who became sentient know as Exo. Disclosure – my spiky purple pineapple of a Titan is an Exo but I can’t put help notice the race isn’t that common. Is that because they lack flesh? […]
Destiny fan creates awesome anime-esq intro
A mash-up of two of my favourite things; anime and Destiny. PopeOwned‘s video imagines what the intro credits would be like if Destiny was an anime series rather than a quasi-MMO that mixes fantasy with sci-fi. We’ve plenty of the usual anime opening tricks; a good look at the characters, some mythic landscapes, space combat […]
Destiny’s Rise of Iron and eSports
I’ve recently come back to Destiny. I started playing when the game launched, going from a pre-order gamer on the xBox 360 to stopping just after The Dark Below was released. My return to the game is timed with the late arrival of a ‘next gen’ console in the form of the xBox One S. […]
Destiny introduces new sub-classes with The Taken King
The Taken King is the next in Bungie’s Destiny series. This expansion is designed for established and new players. I’m lapsed player but this is tempting me to return when The Taken King becomes available world-wide September 15, 2015. The challenge Bungie faces is that those still deep in Destiny are playing around three hours […]

Hopefully so! The following are from Geek Native’s Geek Love collection. You won’t find traditional Valentine’s messages here. […]
Will we find winter warmth in The Dark Below?
The game is dividing opinion and I find myself agreeing with points made by both sides. Destiny is both remarkable and evolutionary step while falling disappointingly short of the heights it could have reached and prone to being repetitive. The proof is in the pudding, or should that be in the pizza, and I find […]
Relive the best of 2014’s gaming in under 2 minutes
Malcolm Klock has put together this montage of some of the great games of 2014. He stresses that if your favourite game is missing it will probably due to editing rather than it not being worthy. I think the final montage is neat. It’s both dramatic and beautiful. It has, as Klock says, been an […]
Full length Destiny: The Dark Below Trailer shows new gear
The latest and last trailer for Destiny’s The Dark Below expansion puts the spotlight on the new gear; weapons, armour and Sparrow the players could get. Initial rumblings about the expansion pack are good. It’s an important one for Bungie who have made big changes to Exotic weapon and armour rules in advance of the […]
