The elusive Hayabusa armor from Halo 3.

If you’re a big fan of playing with dolls– ahem, sorry, “action figures”– then you’d probably love to litter your workspace with these Halo 3 figures from Todd McFarlane’s workshop.

You are about to witness what is quite possibly the dorkiest video you will ever see. A youngster with an obvious and almost sickening love for Halo has taken it upon himself to craft a MJOLNIR suit and a full arsenal out of what appears to be cardboard, styrofoam, and lots of tape. Halo Kid is where it’s at! Read more…

Boom! World shot!

This weekend has marked a somewhat odd statistical milestone for Halo 3, with the number of enemies killed during all recorded campaigns played so far overtaking the worlds population. Read more…

360king-copy1.jpg

See, it’s not all doom and gloom for the 360 after all! According to the NPD Group’s data, Microsoft is leading the videogame industry in several areas. They had a big year overall - December hardware sales were on par with the Wii ,while 360 software sales took the lead with games like Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, and Assassin’s Creed.

This is my copy of Halo 3. There are many like it but this one is mine.

Maybe Jack Thompson isn’t as crazy as we all know he is, and the Department of Defense actually is training an army of super soldiers through video games. Or maybe he is crazy and the Army is just jumping on the Halo 3 bandwagon.

Chana Joffe-Walt, a National Public Radio journalist, recently had an interview with Halo: Contact Harvest author, Joseph Staten, and gave the best example to date as to why journalists who don’t play games shouldn’t be allowed to write about them. Read more…

achievement_unlocked1.jpg

As if the recent Xbox Live issues hadn’t caused enough problems, it now appears that you can actually lose an unlocked achievement as well. I’ve had a recent run-in with this disturbing occurrence, and as always, 1-800-4my-xbox’s Max was there to help me out — and of course by help me out, I mean annoy me while I try to connect to a real person.

They see the Chief and they buy the console — works like a charm

Broken links on both Xbox.com and Bungie.com? What’s the deal here? It appears that Microsoft has “updated” the details to the promotion which originally stated that those who bought an Xbox 360 between November 21st and December 21st would receive a free copy of Halo 3. Read more…

Weapons have been a source of pain and suffering throughout human history. Since the first caveman bashed in his buddy’s head with a rock for eying his woman, weapons have played an important role in the decay of society. Alfred Nobel invented the Nobel Peace Prize to counter the moniker of “Merchant of Death” – bestowed unto the genius for his most famous invention, dynamite. Read more…
