Happy Birthday, Halo Wars!
kornman00 stopped in to point out the fourth anniversary of the release of Halo Wars (and to lament the fact that its DLC is still going for its original price). Too far under the radar for MS to notice? Or just too much of a money-maker to discount? (Heh.)(Louis Wu 13:47:43 UTC)

GameSpot: Destiny Is Not An MMO
Shaun McInnis, GameSpot Editor, has penned an article spelling out exactly what Bungie’s new game, Destiny, is— and is not:
“These are living, open worlds with evolving stories, changing time of day…and every one is full of players,” says engineering lead Chris Butcher. “Destiny is an always online experience, but it’s not an MMO.”
Butcher is a pretty straight shooter– plus there’s no subscription fee, so there’s that. Check out the full article to see what else will or won’t be in Destiny, according to GameSpot.

Parsons’ Destiny Is At Bungie
John Gaudiosi at PCWorld interviews Bungie’s COO, Pete Parsons, about Bungie’s new game, Destiny. In the interview, Parsons again confirms that an element some fans were worried would be omitted is in the game– namely, solo play:
We want players to tell their own stories. We’re going to give them the ability to customize their character, and their experience. Then they’re going to go on epic adventures with their friends. You can play Destiny solo, but we believe that everything fun to do in Destiny is more fun when you’re playing with friends. It’s that unpredictable human element that will create the most important moments in Destiny.
The game may need to be online all the time, but it looks like you’ll have the option of playing by yourself if that’s what you want.
