Destiny is Bungie’s upcoming First Person Shooter,  and in many ways it also draws on the role playing game genre with gear, a level cap and, it would seem, a lot of revisiting the same stages.

Recently it was revealed that you can go beyond Destiny’s level cap of 20. When you hit level 20 you will stop collecting xp points, instead the xp you would of collected is turned into “motes of light” which you can use to craft special equipment which boost your characters stats to push your abilities beyond that of a level 20. Designer Sage Merril has said that once you reach level 20 the game is yours, you can pretty much do anything and everything in the game but some raids will take several attempts and a great deal of skill unless you use the motes of light to build bigger and better gear to push yourself beyond the level cap, so far the highest level gear that has been seen was by IGN at level 29.

A new cinematic trailer has been released for Bungie and 343’s upcoming Halo game, The Master Chief Collection. The trailer depicts some of the cutscenes from Halo 2 remade by Blur for the game; to give us a glimpse at what we can expect to see from the collection.

Check out the trailer below:

So we’ve known for a while that Bioware were not going to leave the Mass Effect series behind and at the San Diego Comic Con this was confirmed with a panel, only some of the information from that panel has been leaked and we have seen the main character’s basic armour. It looks like Bioware wanted to make the armour realistic with soft under-armour and a hard outer carapace designed for exploration and maximum agility.

The armour looks solid and it looks like a type of armour that could be built by humans in the near future and it seems to fit the aesthetic and feel of the series past and future. Another treat that came out of SDCC… the Mako is back with a brand new look and feel, for veterans of the series the Mako is a well-loved exploration device from early in the series which was clunky but very fun to use with jet jumping and a lovely big cannon.

So it looks like Bioware has learned its lessons from Mass Effect 3 and is bringing us a game that is about the exploration and freedom of Mass Effect 1, I for one will be watching this very closely in the hopes that this will be their return to form!

“PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200% since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price. We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer.”

Electronic Arts has announced a new subscription service that gives Xbox One owners access to some of its biggest games for a small monthly fee. Called EA Access, the service is launching to select users in beta today, with a starting price of $4.99 (£3.99) per month or $29.99 (£19.99) per year. The company says EA Access will “launch for everyone on Xbox One soon.” Paying for the subscription will get you access to what EA calls its Vault, a collection of games you’ll have unlimited access to as long as you’re subscribed. During the beta, that will include a sampling of four titles — FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, Peggle 2, and Battlefield 4 — though the company says more games will be added “soon.”

The service will also get you early access to some of EA’s upcoming titles. Subscribers will be able to play trials for upcoming games like Dragon Age: Inquisition and this year’s EA Sports titles “up to five days” ahead of their launch date. Additionally, EA says subscribers will save 10 percent when buying EA games through the Xbox One game store. “This is something we’ve never done before and we’re excited to share it with you,” the company says. EA calls the service a “partnership” with Microsoft, and there’s no word on whether it will be available on other platforms as well.
