OK, so here We go, the most anticipated game of the year is here! Destiny, and I'm currently watching the opening film, it looks Beautiful on PS3, I can only guess what the next gen console graphics look like! I have just created my Character (an Exo) and no matter what design You have You still look bad ass! The voice cast in this game is just amazing! including the likes of Nathan Fillion, Peter Dinklage, Peter Stormare and Bill Nighy! some of my personal Favorite actors lending their voices to a game that so far has yet to let Me down.

Info Nugget: "The first known reference to Destiny was shown in Bungie's 2009 game Halo 3: ODST, in which a sign on a wall read "Destiny Awaits" and showed a picture of Earth with a mysterious orb floating nearby."


I love the story-line, I love the multi-player and I love the look, Ok, it's time for complete honesty, I wrote this game off as Bungie trying to relive their Halo days with a game that's basically the same and I am very happy to admit that I was majorly wrong, the numbers on sales came out this morning and it's a whopping $500 million Dollars..


What Bungie and Activision have made here is a Halo Killer, To go and destroy Your own game series with another is a bold move and well.... It's paid off! I'm addicted, the only reason I'm not playing it now is because I had to write a review... consider Yourselves very lucky I'm pulling Myself away from Destiny! Even the Music (By the legendary Martin O'Donnell!!) is amazingly addictive to hear as You are Playing!

Now at this time I am Level 7, I'm not majorly far in as I have been playing the Multi-Player more (which is addictive and I love the free for all) but I am already starting to feel the power of this game, the enemies are smarter then You think, they fight dirty one moment then they try new tactics, they keep You on Your toes constantly, I love that, as You level up so do they, becoming smarter and deadlier, I can see many hours spent playing this game, both alone and with a team, that's what this game is about, being a team player who can also be a lone wolf, sounds tough huh? well it need not be, just stay quick and stay ahead, I use stealth to sneak about and kick Alien arse!

So, now I am fully integrated with the Destiny controls and handling, I can say that it runs smoothly and smartly, the world moves with You and feels alive, the world is created so that random events happen, not planned by Bungie, so You never know what is going to happen! Seriously Guys, Try this game out! if You haven't got it already then get it when You can, this is going to be Game of the Year 2014! Anyway, I'm off to go and play more Destiny! see You in the field Guardians!
