The Halo Bulletin 9-17-14
Over the past few weeks, you’ve been asking to see more of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. You’ve asked for footage from each game, glorious Gungoose gameplay, and (lots) more. Just today, we released a sneak peek at a bit more goodness in the form of Halo 2: Anniversary screenshots, video footage from Halo 2: Anniversary and Halo 3 on Xbox One. Let’s start by taking a look at some brand new shots, hot off the presses! We hope you like ‘em. Continue reading
Question for you my good readers, regarding my Halo Mega Bloks reviews.
I’ve received a somewhat mean message saying that my reviews of the Halo Mega Bloks sets are boring and generic. What I’d like to know from you folks is, do you think that’s the case? Be honest folks. Continue reading

New York Comicon just a month away…MORE HALO! 6 remastered map!!!
My hopes for Halo seen at NYCC14 are the six map for Halo 2 Anniversary and more info about the Halo 5 Guardians Beta and more FORGE info.
While 343 hasn’t specifically said so, it would make sense that the last map of Halo 2 Anniversary will be revealed at New York Comicon.
So what are your hopes for the six remastered map? Continue reading

Dustin, the owner of GameOn asked me if I’d like to cast this event and I readily said yes.

The Halo Bulletin 9-5-14
This past weekend, we brought a few things we’ve been working on to this massive gaming expo called PAX Prime. It happens every year right down the road, so we usually walk over and check it out. Luckily for us, thousands of you came too, and even eagerly waited in line to play Halo: The Master Chief Collection for the first time in North America. With help from our friends at Xbox, ASTRO Gaming, Skullcandy Gaming, and ESL, we set up several 4v4 stations all around the expo with multiplayer gameplay on the recently announced re-mastered version of Lockout, set the game timer, and let you play to your heart’s content (or until you hit the score limit) (or the time limit).
