We now have a release date for the new Medal of Honor (the one with the big beards): October 15, 2010. That's Teachers' Day in Brazil!

Halo: Reach multi-player beta is really quite fun

Nicholas Deleon — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:00:22 +0000

I spent a few hours last night playing the Halo: Reach multi-player beta. (Microsoft sent out a few early invites to writing-guys like me, but the beta opens to Halo: ODST owners today.) It's been a while since I've played a Halo game for any real amount of time. I dabbled with Halo 3's multi-player for a little while there, but that was two years ago. First impression of the Reach beta: absence makes the heart grow fonder. CrunchGear: your home for old man idioms.

Set your clocks, Halo: Reach Beta intro to be shown at 11:00am PDT

Matt Burns — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:00:46 +0000

In a rather strange move for a video game, Bungie will be showing off the Halo: Reach Beta today via Halo 3: ODST's main menu. This video will star Beta's actress, comedienne, and weapons expert, Aisha Tyler. Chances are the video will find its way onto YouTube by the end of the day just in case you don't have ODST. The Halo: Reach Beta Guide is also now up for your perusal. The May 3rd beta launch is getting closer and closer. Oh man. It's next week.

XScorch 360 controller brings a mouse to the Xbox

Dave Freeman — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 03:00:26 +0000

Like many FPS gamers of a certain age, I started with the WASD keyboard/mouse control system. As such, I have issues with using a controller to play games on a console, and really wish that someone would come out with a keyboard and mouse control system. There's been a few that come close, and the Scorch 360 looks like another also-ran.

Video: Peter Ha vs an 11-year old professional gamer

Matt Burns — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 14:52:26 +0000

Watch and laugh as Peter Ha and Lev Grossman are pwnd by a 11-year old in Halo 3 and Madden. Tools. Just more proof that Peter Ha probably shouldn’t be writing about video games for a living. I’m kidding, Peter. Much love.

Everything you need to know about Halo: Reach

David Diaz — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:00:30 +0000

Bungie has done a great job of making fans salivate over Halo: Reach by keeping most the aspects of the game under wraps. Thus far, all the info we have been able to discern has come from the trailers which Bungie released--until now. Yesterday, leaked pictures (shown below) of an upcoming Game Informer magazine hit the web, and the information is quite revealing. It looks like the team at Bungie is going all out on this title. The magazine deals mostly with the campaign--profiling new weapons, characters, and vehicles, but tidbits regarding the multiplayer experience were included as well. All the info we have gathered is after the jump.

The boys at Razer are at it again, with the new Onza controller for the 360. They've manage to significantly improve on the standard 360 controller by improving the control buttons, adding a tension control, and making it easy to pwn your buddies with a programmable multi-function button.

Bookies think Modern Warfare 2 will be the best seller this year

Nicholas Deleon — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:00:43 +0000

Anyone who has any doubts over what will be the best-selling video game this holiday season needs to check himself. It will absolutely be Modern Warfare 2. And while I can say that without anything real being put on the line, Irish bookie Paddy Power has given the game 8/13 odds as being the best-selling game.

Ecko Halo 3: ODST Master Chief Hoodie – yes, you want it

Matt Burns — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:30:40 +0000

It’s almost like this was planned. Halo 3: ODST is here and so is the $88 Master Chief Hoodie from Ecko. Coincidence?

There will be a Halo 3: ODST Xbox 360 bundle

Matt Burns — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:45:51 +0000

Halo 3: ODST is coming out on September 22, 2009 but you may wanna wait for the bundle pack if you're in need of a new system. Well, maybe as it's only announced in countries that use the PAL TV standard as of now. But if it gets a US release, you can bet your trousers that some gamers will jump on the bundle.

There will be a McFarlane action figure based on Halo: ODST’s Rookie

Nicholas Deleon — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:27:04 +0000

Looks like McFarlane Toys (they're actually pretty good, right?) will release this little guy, The Rookie, alongside Halo: ODST. The six-inch wonder goes on sale in October. You'll recall that McFarlane Toys also released action figures based on Halo 3 and Halo Wars.

Oh yeah, there will be a new PSP at E3 all right

Nicholas Deleon — Thu, 28 May 2009 16:40:29 +0000

It's the rumor that refuses to go away: the next Sony PSP. Well, E3 is next week, thank God, and you should absolutely expect to see it, henceforth referred to as the PSP Go!, debut at Sony's press conference. It will be UMD-less (you can hear developers cheering), and possibly cheaper. That, and the slimmed down PS3 is real, too.

“Mole” says UMD-less PSP-Go! is on for E3, slimmer PS3 to follow

Darren Murph — Thu, 28 May 2009 14:18:00 +0000

Ready for this? No, seriously -- are you strapped in? The same reliable "mole" that enabled ArsTechnica to correctly call the Resident Evil 5 Xbox 360 bundle and the new Halo 3 / Fable 2 bundle (among other items) has come forward with convincing evidence that a UMD-less PSP is indeed on the table for an E3 launch. Truthfully, we'd be more shocked if Sony didn't announce such a product, with the download-only release of Patapon 2 being a telltale sign that something was up. We're told that the so-called PSP-Go! will be debuting in LA next week, but that a slimmer, trimmer PlayStation 3 likely won't. The reason? Sony's waiting for its current stock of PS3 consoles to dwindle, after which it intends to refill channel partners with the physically fit edition that we peeked just over a week ago. We'll be live at the expo to give the low-down on this as it happens, but suffice it to say, buying a bulky PS3 over the next few months will likely morph into a regrettable decision.
