It’s the little things that make Destiny such a unique and and entertaining shooter. That’s because Bungie’s attention to detail knows no bounds, even when it comes to the hand cannon’s trigger animation. For some reason, watching someone apply pressure to the trigger leaves me with an oddly satisfying feeling. Test it out for yourself the next time your in-game.

Xûr, Agent of the Nine

Analysis, Original 76 comments

Published on: Jul 26, 2014 @ 10:12 Xûr, Agent of the Nine is an ally that can only be described as a black market figure, selling extremely rare and useful items. As we can see from many of the Exotic quality pieces of equipment, Xûr plays an important role in acquiring these items. While some Exotics are earned randomly in PvE/PvP, and others through their respective Exotic Bounty, the only way we can purchase Exotics is through Xûr when he arrives in the Tower (Fri-Sun). We have an in-depth text/video review for all the Exotic weapons! Xûr sells objects of legendary power. He accepts his own currency, in

Destiny Focus: The Halo Influence

Analysis, Original 11 comments

You can take the Bungie out of Halo, but you’ll never take the Halo out of Bungie. The Halo series will always be one of Bungie’s most crowning achievements regardless of future successes. This was a group of games that not only revolutionized an entire game genre, but also provided us with a science-fiction epic that spanned all manners of media, even coming within a fraction of finally being recognized on the big screen. But although Halo physically lives on in the grateful grasp of 343 industries, its legacy is something that will forever remain encased within the walls of
