The Art Of Halo: Reach

Bungie this week released a large batch of concept art for the upcoming Halo: Reach, showing some soldiers, some Covenant, some trees, some snow and a Spartan with a little robot T-Rex arm. Some of this was featured in the latest issue of Game Informer, but since most of you wouldn’t have seen that, enjoy.

Some More Halo: Reach Screenshots

EB Games gave us an inadvertent taste of Halo: Reach the other day. Cover blown, Bungie has now decided to let loose the rest of the game’s first batch of proper screenshots. Some of these will look familiar to anyone picking up the latest issue of Game Informer, but others – particularly the environment shots…

Cameron Calls Firsties in Halo-Avatar Comparisons

James Cameron, the director of James Cameron’s Avatar, has a rebuttal for Halo fanboys criticizing his film for its resemblance to their favorite game. In a nutshell, Cameron reminds everyone that Halo’s borrowing from him, remember? “The funniest thing is when some of the so-called fanboys get up trashing Avatar for looking too much like…

Halo: Reach Boasts New Tech, Bigger Battles

It’s easy to think of Halo: Reach and yawn, imagining yet another Halo game using the same old Halo formula and the same old Halo tech. Listen to Bungie detail Halo: Reach, though, and your optimism may come sneaking back. Reach is the cover feature in the latest issue of Game Informer, and the piece…

Neill Blomkamp “Stressed Out” By Idea of District 9 Game

At one time, director Neill Blomkamp was just the guy who was going to helm the now-on-ice Halo Hollywood flick. That movie never happened. Sci-fi hit District 9 did, and Blompkamp’s career took off. In the short time since District 9 has hit theaters (and taken off), Blomkamp has shown street smarts about the Hollywood…

Master Chief’s Dancing Spartan Parade

This was from Philadelphia’s 2010 Mummers Parade. We post it not because we’ve developed a sudden interest in choreographed parade dance routines, but because we have an interest in 17 Spartans from Halo performing a choreographed parade dance routine. Reader Justin was on the scene to capture the moment with his camera. Thanks Justin! Click…

Halo Wars…Clay

Microsoft’s Halo Wars is popular enough to merit its own line of toys — official toys. It also is popular enough to merit a line of rip off toys that come packed in clay. Because if you are going to rip someone off, do it with clay. “It’s one of those kits where you get…

It’s The Mr. Potato Head Of Halo Figures

It can be said McFarlane make too many Halo figures. A Spartan with a blue helmet, a Spartan with a blue helmet and a slightly different gun…it’s a nickel and dime show. If only you could just buy one figure, and customise it yourself…oh, like you can with this new “Halo Rogue Deluxe Armour Pack”,…

For The Discerning Art Collector/Halo Fan

Perhaps in an effort to appeal to a more up-market clientèle than Halo merchandise currently allows, Microsoft have commissioned a series of framed prints depicting art from Halo 3: ODST. These aren’t the kind of things you’d get as a pre-order gift thrown in a cheap plastic frame. No, these are the kind of things…
