Back at it!!

Posted on by

Hello my dear readers. I’ve been away from the blog for a little over a week now. Things happening in life took my attention away, but those had to be addressed.

As well, the last several days, I was plagued by a massive migraine headache. When I get those, I barely feel like doing anything.

So apologies to you al for not being here for a time. I’m getting back into the swing of it and will be catching up on a lot of Halo news that has happened since I previously posted.

Toy reviews, Halo 5 news, Halo Wars 2, Fan Art, and more!!!

Stay tuned as the articles are about to begin posting!

Showtime still developing Halo TV series

Posted on by

This is a reblog from IGN:

BY: ERIC GOLDMAN
The Steven Spielberg-produced Halo TV series is still alive at Showtime… Though it seems it still may not be seen for quite awhile.

Reports first surfaced back in May 2014 that Showtime was the potential home for the series — which itself was first announced by Spielberg in 2013 and we then heard from Xbox shortly after that the series would debut fall 2015, alongside Halo 5 – though Showtime’s participation was never officially announced.

Halo Monopoly

Halo Monopoly

EB Games (of Australia) has a listing for a Halo edition of Monopoly. It’s up for pre-order now and will sell for $68 Aussie dollars. This will release in Nov this year. It’s also listed as being exclusive to EB Games. (The image above is likely not the final box version.)

We in the states know that EB Games and Gamestop are one in the same now. I did a little looking around and couldn’t find a listing for this anywhere else but in Australia.

I do hope this comes to the rest of the world. I’d like to play this. I wonder what would be used for houses though, or if they will still be the same as the standard game??

Would you buy this if it came to a store near you?

Let me know, reply below.
