Bungie Studio’s Halo 3 has only been out for a few days now and the complaints are already starting to come in. The most recent piece of critisism hails from the UK and calls the game “Halo 2 in HD”. Well, as someone that has watched NFL football for years, many of which were before [...]

How on earth does this happen by mistake? Answer, it doesn’t — and if it does someone should be made to answer. Yes, it is funny, but from a marketing stand point it is free publicity for Killzone 2, and one can only imagine that Microsoft is not happy about it. And from the other [...]
