"Significantly Less" Than 1% Of Halo Players Have Every Possible Achievement

Halo fans are notoriously hardcore, but even in the Halo community, there are only a hardened few who are willing to attempt the seemingly impossible: unlocking every achievement in each Halo game (that has achievements and includes map packs) so far. That includes Halo 3, Halo Wars and the recently released Halo 3: ODST. According to Halo...

Halo Waypoint Is Actually Part Of Halo's Story...But It's A Secret (For Now)

I spent a little time this afternoon on the phone with Jason Pace, the talkative creative director on the upcoming Halo Waypoint, a hub for all things Halo being added to Xbox Live as part of the next update. Pace told me about his grand ambitions for Halo Waypoint -- which you'll hear about soon -- but one part of our conversation stuck out....

Bungie Veterans Forming Downloadable Games Studio Moonshot Games

Halo developer Bungie Studios has talked about developing downloadable games over the years, but Halo 3 ODST's the closest it's come to creating something small. Perhaps that approach is why Bungie veterans Michel Bastien, Damian Isla and Rob Stokes (alongside Seattle artist Mike McCain) have formed Moonshot Games, a studio strictly focused on...

Sessler's Soapbox: Does ODST Have the Halo Effect?

I know you're all busy playing Firefight right now, but it's that time of week to sit down and take a minute to listen to the pearls of wisdom spit by The Sess. Adam sits down to discuss Halo 3: ODST and its strangely muted presence in this year's list of big game releases. Does ODST not need a bit marketing push because it's a part of the Halo...

PAX 2009 Panel Video: Bungie's Halo 3: ODST "Prepare to Drop"

If you're a huge Halo fan but couldn't make it up, over, or down to Seattle last weekend for PAX, do not fret: the good people at Penny Arcade teamed up with the good people at Bungie and allowed us to sneak in our camera crew to record their "Prepare to Drop" panel in its entirety. This was an entertaining discussion of Halo 3: ODST...

What Did Bungie Think Of District 9?

There might be a Halo movie eventually, but what was supposed to be the Halo movie helmed by Peter Jackson protégé Neill Blomkamp became District 9. While interviewing Bungie community manager Brian Jarrard at Penny Arcade Expo last weekend, Jarrard admitted that while he hadn't personally seen District 9 yet, much of the Bungie...

G4tv.com's Feedback -- Week of September 7th, 2009

I've never been so close to a pandemic before than this week at the G4 offices. See, some guy or gal thought it would be a great idea to come to PAX sick as a dog, roll around in some of the bean bag chairs strewn about in the convention center, wipe their nose with a Wii controller jacket and call it a day. Though a few of us (which I have...

Halo: Reach Will Probably Be Bungie's Biggest Game Yet

We don't know much about Halo: Reach yet. Microsoft and Bungie showed off a teaser for the possibly final collaboration between the two companies at E3, which chronicles the fall of the planet Reach, a major part of Halo lore. At the Penny Arcade Expo, I had a chance to ask Bungie community manager Brian Jarrard about Halo: Reach. "Reach...

Halo 3: ODST PAX 2009 Brian Jarrard Interview

There was always a line to play Halo 3: ODST at the Penny Arcade Expo this year. But I wasn't there to play the latest adventure (and the first one not starring Master Chief) in the Halo universe. Rather, I wanted to speak with Bungie's community manager, Brian Jarrard, about the impending release of ODST, Bungie's presence at PAX 2009,...

Bungie Says Halo: Reach Might Not Be Its Last Halo Game After All

“Halo: Reach will be Bungie’s last Halo game,” is a statement that would seem obvious enough. And yet, there’s apparently a bit more wiggly room than previous thought, as evidence by recent comments made by Bungie community and PR director Brian Jarrard during GamesCom 2009. Speaking with VideoGamer, Jarrard said,...

The Origins Of Halo's "Combat Evolved" Tagline And How Munch Almost Led The Xbox Launch

At The Azenberg Group's [A] List Summit, vice president of strategy and client services Steve Fowler took some time to chat with me about his days at Microsoft. Serving as lead product manager from 2000 to 2003, Fowler was responsible for the brand management of numerous action games, including a little title called Halo. The word on the street...

Halo: Reach Will Be Bungie's Last Halo Game For The Xbox 360

Between Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and the distant Halo: Reach, I’d say Bungie has been pretty generous to fans of its console-defining sci-fi shooter. Throw in the Ensemble Studios’ RTS Halo Wars, and that’s quite a lot of Halo for one console generation. That’s probably why it isn’t too surprising that Reach will in...

Capitalizing on the burgeoning popularity of video games, two fashion labels have started up lines of video-game clothing.

Microsoft's 343 Industries Announces New Halo Legends Anime Project

If a handful of games and several novelizations haven’t provided you with enough Halo content, then you’ll be pleased to hear about 343 Industries upcoming Halo Legends project. Taking a cue (and a few of the studios) from the short-film collection based on The Matrix universe (The Animatrix), Halo Legends will consist of several...

In a recent interview with the Seattle Times, Bungie’s president Harold Ryan and its creative director Joseph Staten elaborated a bit on the company’s upcoming Halo 3: ODST, and dropped a rather compelling piece of info regarding the next-next Halo installment, Halo: Reach, as it pertains to a little something called Project Natal....
