The other day I was watching television and saw for the 85th time the Halo: Reach campaign trailer. It’s good. Sort of gets to the point, but far beneath the standard set that we usually see for Halo games. Halo: Reach is now just about a month away, which is amazing considering how much build up the game has had and how anticipated we all are. Yet, it begs the question — where are all the bad ass Halo commercials?
Major Nelson over at Xbox Live just listed Halo 3 on his blog as well as a few other titles that are ready to be downloaded from the Games On Demand service. Not a bad list I suppose. I’m glad they continue to add titles to the backlog to grab easily and digitally with little to no effort. You can grab Halo 3 right now for $30 bucks if you so choose, but you could probably do a little digging online and find it cheaper in a real green box. Then for the rest of us, we already have it.
The question that pops into my mind about Halo 3 being listed as downloadable doesn’t have anything to do with the cost of the game or anything, but why Microsoft and Bungie are going back on what they told us when Halo 3 released: Don’t install Halo 3 on your Xbox hard drive.
The situation is Haiti is something that should stir up that charitable part inside of you to want to help. Whether you donate to the Red Cross or some other legitimate charity, I encourage everyone to do what you can. It’s a tragedy that is still unfolding and people need our help. Time are tough and I know cash is tight, so if you want to help but can’t pass along some cash right now, why not play some Halo?
From now through midnight PT tomorrow night, if you play Halo 3 or ODST on Xbox Live with a specific emblem on your armor, Bungie will donate money to the Red Cross relief effort up to $77,000. How to you change your emblem? I’m glad you asked. Hit the jump for detailed instructions. We’ll see you online!
We’re less than one week away from Halo ODST. What better way to get pumped and ready for the release than playing Halo 3 for Game with Loot Ninja tonight? We’ll be dishing out pure pwnage later on, so get your popcorn ready.

With Halo ODST coming soon, we figured Halo 3 is a good choice for Game with Loot Ninja this week. We’ll be rocking out for a good while tonight. Plenty of us will be online, including some of our new writers.

Just in case you were on the fence with buying an Xbox 360, Xbox has sweetened the deal, with the Game of the Year bundle. You can get an Xbox 360 Elite and either a copy of Halo 3 or Fable II. The bundle will run for a cool $399.99.
Beginning in May, fans can enjoy the premium experience of Xbox 360 Elite with two highly-acclaimed Xbox 360 exclusive games, including “Halo 3,” the thrilling conclusion of Master Chief’s epic fight against the Covenant and “Fable II,” the masterful role-playing sequel with limitless choices and consequences. These two Games of the Year award winners combined with an Xbox 360 Elite console make this offer the definitive choice for anyone who wants a complete gaming and entertainment experience. The Xbox 360 Game Of The Year Bundle will be available for a limited time and will come at no additional cost, estimated retail price at $399 (U.S.)
This is actually a pretty good deal considering these are two exceptional games for the price of free. Even though the games are a little dated, Halo 3 remains the top played game on Xbox Live and Fable 2 has a huge replay value. This is a limited time offer, so I guess buy it soon.
With the recent release of the Mythic Map Pack and all the emails we got about it, this week we’re rocking Halo 3 for Game with Loot Ninja.
You know the drill… 9pm ET… gamertags can be found on the About Us page. We’ll mix it up with different playlists, both with and without the new Mythic Map Pack.

Pack in games usually suck donkey balls or are older than hell. There have been some exceptions lately with the Uncharted bundle with the 160gb PS3 and the Resident Evil 5 bundle on the Xbox 360. But Microsoft could be turning up the heat by packing in both Halo 3 and Fable 2 with upcoming Elites.
Ars Technica was tipped off about this possibly upcoming pack, which is still rumor until we get confirmation from Microsoft (who never comments on rumors, we tried).
Could this be enough reason for those still on the fence about picking up a current-gen console to make the jump? It’s certainly possible. I have a feeling Microsoft is waiting to pull the trigger here until we see what Sony is doing in terms on a PS3 price drop.
The wait is over. For all you regular folk who did not reorder Halo Wars LE or did not get a press pass, the Mythic Map Pack is out now. Here is the description as if you really needed it. Go forth and buy maps. See you on Asssembly biatch.
There are few games that transcend the industry as Halo 3 has. Love it or hate it, Halo 3 sold a ton of copies and people still play it everyday as religiously as ever. Now what happens when a game of Halo 3′s stature exceeds its life cycle? Furthermore, when will there be no more Halo 3 updates? Our question has been answered:
“Halo 3 took two and a half years to make, and we’re still working on it,” producer Allen Murray said. “We’ll probably be working on it for two more years.”
With Halo 3: ODST coming and most likely several more title updates and at least one more map pack, gamers can expect to be playing fresh Halo 3 content through the end of this decade.
