No Hobbit Game Just Yet
Games based on movies are typically rushed out — and it shows. That might be why we won't be getting a video game version of Guillermo del Toro's upcoming flick The Hobbit any time soon. More »

New Halo Game For E3 (Master Chief Not Included)
Ah, and finally, the pre-E3 hype train picks up a little steam. Citing both Sarcastic Gamer and their own "sources", CVG are claiming that a new Halo game will be unveiled at E3. This Halo game might be Peter Jackson's game, it might not be, but either way, they say it won't feature the Master Chief. Chew on that for a possibility while we dream of a point-and-click "Where In The World Is Master Chief?" More »

Bungie On Involvement In Peter Jackon's Halo, Its Next Top Secret Project
When the gang at MTV Multiplayer sniffed around some Microsoft job listings earlier this week, confirming that the publisher was staffing up for one of the two Peter Jackon backed "entertainment experiences," some concernedly stuttered "Bu-bu-but, what about Bungie?" Oh, they're fine with it, informs the Bungie Weekly Update. Community man Frankie O'Connor says that "having worked with him already, we are possibly more excited than you are to see what someone of Peter Jackson's imagination, talent and resources can bring to a Halo game experience."

Microsoft Staffing Up For Peter Jackson's Halo: Chronicles?
At least one of the Halo-themed projects helmed by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson is closer to reality, as MTV Multiplayer has dug up job listings that hint heavily Microsoft is hiring for one of its "two new interactive entertainment experiences." A confirmation from the company reveals that it's going to be developed internally and not at Halo 3 developer Bungie. More » -

Peter Jackson Still Fighting For Halo Movie
We already told you that Halo was "entirely dead." But even after losing major partners Fox and Universal, Microsoft and Peter Jackson aren't ready to give up. According to Variety, Jackson has his highly-regarded co-founded studios Weta Digital and Weta Workshop knee-deep in preproduction. You may know them from Lord of the Rings or King Kong. Chances are that Weta's creative assets will make for one hell of a sales pitch, and besides, making a Halo movie with massive amounts of talent* seems like a no-brainer. Shouldn't Hollywood be excited? They're the ones blaming Halo for their lot in life. More »

Halo Movie: "Entirely Dead*"
*"In the configuration it was in," adds Neill Blomkamp. He's the director hired to helm the Peter Jackson executive produced film adaptation last year and who quickly saw his feature film debut hopes dashed upon the financial rocks by the suits at Universal and Fox. Blomkamp spoke to Creativity Online recently, confirming the film isn't just "on ice", it's chilling at the morgue. More »

I have never played a Halo game. Of the last few generations of consoles, the only one I haven't owned is the Xbox. I live in Japan, so there. Who better then to go attend a private session with the game? (I really am excited about playing Halo 3. Really. I'm pre-ordering tonight.) More » -

Peter Moore "Pissed" About Halo Movie Breakdown
How does Microsoft's Peter Moore feel about the Halo movie deal breakdown with movie studio 20th Century Fox and Universal Studios? "Pissed," Moore told Kotaku at an exclusive Microsoft party in Santa Monica tonight. The adaptation is backed by A-list director Peter Jackson. So why doesn't Microsoft just finance the film themselves. According to Moore: More »

Peter Jackson's Halo movie may be on ice, but that doesn't mean he's not doing Halo stuff. In an interview with game site GameSpy, Microsoft's Shane Kim apparently said the filmmaker is making an interactive, animated series. Apparently, because Microsoft PR is denying it. Anyway, here's what Kim originally said: More »

Peter Jackson Stands By His Man
Last year, the Peter Jackson produced Halo film was put on ice. First timer Neill Blomkamp was slated to helm, perhaps causing studios getting cold feet. With the Halo 3 hype machine kicking into high gear, Jackson says he expects renewed interested from 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures. But, would Jackson still back Blomkamp? More »

EGM Hints At New Halo Halo Spin-off
The latest Electronic Gaming Monthly unceremoniously plopped into my mailbox last night, containing a fresh batch of rumors with it. Most pressworthy? I wish it were the Samba de Amigo for Wii tease, but a totally new Halo game is probably juicier. Yes, another Halo-themed game. According to EGM's Quartermann, Microsoft is going to the cash squirting udder one more time for an unannounced title. More »
