Remember the Halo: Reach Honor the Code Mountain Dew promotion from a few months back? Of course you do. The prizes were, and still are, pretty neat, but word on the street is that now you can win something truly special. Yes, you’re looking at it right now: a fully working, life-sized Halo: Reach Mongoose ATV. → Read More
A couple of big games came out in September, and it turns out that several of them haven’t met various sales expectations. Take Halo: Reach. A fine game (for a console shooter/Halo game), but it *only* sold 3.3 million units. A prominent analyst at Cowen & Company (an investment services group) had officially predicted 3.75 million. Believe it or not, that’s bad news for Microsoft and not the… → Read More
Bungie has announced the very first map pack for Halo: Reach. It’s called the Noble Map Pack, and it’ll be available on November 30. You’ll have to cough up 800 Microsoft Points (around $10) to partake. There’s 250 Achievement Points up for grabs. → Read More
How is your Halo: Reach-ing? Racked up a bunch of frags in multi-player yet? I’ve slacked off, and now most of my free gaming time goes toward Fallout and F1 2010. There’s a neat bit of news that may be of interest to some of you. You know how when Halo 3 launched, back in 2007, there was a special edition of Mountain Dew? Well now Pepsi (Mountain Dew’s parent company) and Microsoft have teamed… → Read More
A recent article on whether or not Halo: Reach is good for gaming has sparked something in me. I, too, have a bone to pick with the game, but it’s not with the game, per se. No, it’s a problem with a mechanic in the game that’s also found in other games. I speak, of course, about checkpoints. They are stupid and I wish they would go away forever. Thank you. → Read More
Microsoft’s Phil Spencer revealed that Halo: Reach made over $200 million in Day 1 sales. This tops any other title so far this year, and also any other movie or “entertainment experience”. 1up reports that Halo: Reach also broke the total number of players on Xbox Live record previously held by Halo 3. → Read More
Is Halo: Reach the best Halo yet? Yeah, probably, but unlike when, say, Halo 2 came out, in 2004, it’s hardly the only good console shooter out there. You have choices now. Should you choose to Remember Reach? Let’s face it: you will and you will love every minute of it. Mostly. → Read More
Short version: The SteelSeries Spectrum 5XB is a headset for your Xbox 360 (and PC) that lets you separate your online teammates’ voices from the sounds explosions, gunfire, and other assorted bits of mayhem. So, if your team leader is barking orders you can turn down the game’s audio and listen exclusively to the commands. → Read More
Watch the video, but honestly, the whole jetpack thing is just a gimmick. Don’t expect the Halo: Reach Spartan to take off like the Rocketeer. Hopefully the in-game action is a bit more exciting. → Read More
The fall video game rush begins tomorrow with the release of Halo: Reach for the Xbox 360. That’s the key—tomorrow. If you somehow got a copy of the game at the weekend—perhaps you know a friendly GameStop owner, or maybe you yourself have the Wal-Mart storage room key?—then I’ve got some bad news: your credits will be wiped out. Sorry. → Read More
http://g4tv.com/lv3/48611 Got nothing to do for the next 15 minutes? Here, watch the intro movie and a bit of gameplay from Halo: Reach courtesy of G4TV. Even if you don’t plan on playing the game (like me), it’s still entertaining enough to burn a bit of your morning. → Read More
I spent a few hours last night playing the Halo: Reach multi-player beta. (Microsoft sent out a few early invites to writing-guys like me, but the beta opens to Halo: ODST owners today.) It’s been a while since I’ve played a Halo game for any real amount of time. I dabbled with Halo 3′s multi-player for a little while there, but that was two years ago. First impression of the Reach beta: absence… → Read More
Today, Bungie announced the info all Halo fans have been waiting to hear. The multiplayer Beta for the highly anticipated Halo: Reach will be available beginning May 3rd, 2010. For a beta invite, simply have a copy of Halo: ODST. → Read More
Bungie has done a great job of making fans salivate over Halo: Reach by keeping most the aspects of the game under wraps. Thus far, all the info we have been able to discern has come from the trailers which Bungie released–until now. Yesterday, leaked pictures (shown below) of an upcoming Game Informer magazine hit the web, and the information is quite revealing. It looks like the team at Bungie… → Read More
I can’t believe I’m actually going to say this. This Saturday at 8 PM, I know without a doubt I will be sitting on my couch, watching Spike TV. There are only two things which could cause me to do this. One would be if the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was moved from CBS to Spike.
The other, which will actually be happening, is to watch the Video Game Awards, where the global unveiling of Halo… → Read More
