Matt Casamassina over at IGN has posted a blog entry detailing his time spent with a leaked build of an ill-fated DS version of Bungie's baby, Halo. According to Mama Cass there it was ego that killed the beast, but only after a fully playable version was produced, which he claims to have played. He says it ran much like Metroid Prime Hunters for the DS, I assume without the ball mechanic. Master Chief already has all the balls he needs, thank you very much.

No real way to verify this without ferreting out his source, and I lack both the patience and resources to abduct and torture an IGN editor, as entertaining as that might sound in theory. For now all we have is his word, and the knowledge that everything ever posted on a blog is absolutely true. Michael Fahey
