Destiny: What is it and is it worth my time?


Destiny, for those of you who don't know, is a popular First Person Shooter (FPS)among video gaming fans. It was developed by Bungie (instant smile) and published by Activision (instant frown). I won't go into detail with this article because there really isn't much detail to go into.

So First off:

What do you do?

When starting the game you're thrown into choosing your character class. Each has their own perks. You then choose your appearance and your race. That's just the start of the tutorial. The game then takes you through all the basics of the game without making you bored. Post-tutorial and in game, you then slowly begin to find out that a lot of Destiny is just shooting a gun. the game gives you a campaign mode and a multiplayer, similar to Halo but you're slightly more free to choose what you want to do at any given time.


The Classes


Classes in Destiny are often argued about by fans e.g. "My class is better than yours" or "Your class is too powerful and that's why you're so good" It would then make sense to choose which class well. 
Destiny offers three classes each with two subclasses: 

Titan

Titan




This class is the biggest and strongest of the lot. They wear large and full body power. This is the class for you  if you like to get straight to the action and the the front of the firing line.







Hunter





This class is more focused on stealth and agility. Some things you may like to know: this class can become invisible and teleport;in  multiplayer also.











Warlock





This class is sometimes referred to as a support class, but nonetheless, this class is extremely well balanced.

This class is based on Space Magic.















I hope you think you know whether this game is for you! If you haven't made your decision yet then stick around because there will be more to come. If you have made your decision you can still stick around because you're also cool.



Thanks for reading!

The Assassin's Creed Movie...


The long-awaited Assassin's Creed movie is finally moving ahead, with Ubisoft revealing the film has officially entered production. The video game adaptation will be released on 21 December, 2016.

Word of the production came from the most mundane of places though -- Ubisoft's quarterly financial call. The publisher is co-producing the film with studio New Regency, which has had a golden period in recent years with films such as 12 Years a Slave, Birdman, and Gone Girl to their name.
"We have the pleasure to announce today that the green light has been given by New Regency, and the production has already started," said Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot. "This is a very important milestone for the project and for our team on Assassin's Creed."

The Assassin's Cred film has been in development since at least 2011 when Ubisoft formed its Ubisoft Motion Pictures division, allowing it to maintain creative control over its properties. Micheal Fassbender has long attached as both lead actor and producer, with Justin Kurzel set to direct, and Adam Cooper and Bill Collage having written the most recent screenplay.

Actual plot details are still unconfirmed, other than being a loose adaptation of the first game in the franchise. With the series' lore centred on people in the present reliving their ancestor's genetic memories, Fassbender is set to play a dual role in the film as both a member of the Assassin Brotherhood in the past and his own descendent.

I for one am extremely excited to see this movie and how it will fare in the franchise and movie industry. Many game movies have been known to flop so I am hoping this one does well!
