Xbox Live: In Memoriam

Microsoft plans to pull the plug on the original Xbox Live service at some point today, but already we can't help but miss our good friend.

Bungie Won't Rule Out More Halo Games, But They're A Long Ways Off

It would be insane for Bungie Studios to categorically rule out working on another Halo game after Halo: Reach is released later this year on Xbox 360.

Bungie Says Halo: Reach's Story Will Be More Akin To Halo 3: ODST

Starting with Halo 2, the complicated mythology took hold of the story in Halo games. Bungie, in my eyes, successfully reigned in the problems with that path in Halo 3: ODST, which allowed you to enjoy a Halo story without being left out because you haven't read a Halo encyclopedia, too. According to Bungie, that's going to be the approach for...
