Thanks to hotshot for this video link.

When we reach the end of 2010 and look at all the games that came out, there will be a ton of great ones to pick. I think the forerunner will be Starcraft 2 as the game of the year for most, even thought for yours truly, I am hoping that Fable 3 lives up to it’s promise.

God of War 3 was good, Metroid: Other M might steal the show as well. But after watching this video, I’m already starting to think that Halo Reach might get the crown. Having a map editor in Starcraft was part of what made that game so much fun to play. With all the added abilities found in Forge, I might actually spend some time there and make a map just for FactPilers. (I have what I think is an interesting idea!)

So, enjoy the vid and despite the beatings that MC takes, I think Bungie is sending off the franchise (for now ) in grand fashion.

So, as some of you might recall, I was pretty brutal on my Halo Reach Beta Review a few months back. Also, there was some additional footage that has been released by Bungie showing off some more elements of the game. All of those up to this point didn’t really do anything to change my mind to even consider getting the game. But then the awesome folks at Rooster Teeth showed off this video featuring the Red Vs Blue gang:

While I know that this is not actual game footage, one thing Microsoft and Bungie are very smart about is introducing new features of anything Halo through specially produced episodes from the Red Vs Blue crew.

All I have to say is this – if the hologram feature is part of the new game, that *might* get me to buy. But, if the Blood Gulch/Coagulation super expanded map is part of the multi-player experience, that map alone will get me to buy the game. Period.

Yes folks, this is the Halo fanboy in me coming out. Sorry. But that map has had as many great memories as Super Mario Bros, Starcraft and Fable have had for me in my gaming experiences.

Hear that Bungie?!

Thanks to both Hitman H94 and Expert who both sent me the link at almost the exact same time!

A longer version to the previous video. I think my only complaint is that by just watching this video it looks like all it takes to make a Spartan are some injections and POWSA! instant Master Chief…

Ok, I know there’s not a ton of love for Halo here, but the jetpack part looks like it’ll add an entire new element of fun…

Ok, so I like the Halo franchise…but this doesn’t really show me anything other than another Spartan that I’ll get to play…
