The Halo Journey Continues

/

Halo has always been a staple of the Xbox diet. It was what launched with the original Xbox, and arguably made it the success it was. Xbox has always meant, and needed, Halo. This is why the recent announcement for Halo is so important. It continues a long standing tradition that a lot of gamers love and hold very dear. Yes, I have given Halo a hard time in the past, but I still love it. So that is why, with the announcement of "Halo 5: Guardians" and the fact that it will come on in fall of 2015 is so awesome. Sure, they did give us much concrete information. They said that "Halo 5" is a bigger effort then "Halo 4" was. They also announced that the "Halo" TV series will (you know, the one Steven Spielberg is working on) will also launch in the fall of 2015. Beyond that there is a lot of "developer speak". I very much doubt we will get to hear / see much in the way of concrete information until the E3 press conference in a few weeks. But this is still a big thing! To quote the Bonnie Ross (General Manager, 343 Industries); the "journey definitely begins in 2014 with a giant leap, rather then a small step." 

Expect more information on the June 9th media briefing. I know I can't wait.

It has been a long (very long) wait, but Watch Dogs is almost upon us (May 27th on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC). As such Ubisoft has been releasing new trailer upon new trailer. To make up for my lack of posting them, here is a play list of all the Watch Dogs trailers, starting with the most recent, Watch Dogs - 101 Trailer_.

Gold no Longer Needed for Netflix and Hulu on Xbox

/

Netflix and Hulu have become staples in the living room. You are almost expected to have a device of some sort that can access the vast libraries of entertainment they have, and for some time the easiest way to access them were the game consoles that most of us gamers own. But there was always a downside. If you had an Xbox you had to have the gold level of Xbox Live to access the services you already paid for. Kind of lame when you consider the fact that you have never need to pay extra if you have a PlayStation 3 or 4, AppleTV, ChromeCast, or any other number of devices capable of streaming. But that is changing, all for the better.

There are two things that comes to a persons mind when you say Weta. One of them is a bug that can be found in new Zealand and the other is the group that made props for great movies such as The Lord of Rings, The Hobbit and Avatar. One of the biggest differences that these two will have this June is that one of them will be found in the Colorado Convention Center.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have been invited by the organizers and we've been eagerly packing cool stuff from Middle-earth and beyond onto trucks and into planes to have a great range available to purchase at the Weta booth,” said Stacy Longstreet, expedition leader for Weta’s contingent at the show. “It’s our first time in Denver as well as our first US show this year and we’re really looking forward to meeting fans and making friends in Colorado.”

Attendees will have a unique opportunity to meet the artists and craftsman who create some of Weta's amazing props. You can even purchase some of these great items as Weta will come loaded with limited-edition collectibles, prop replicas, art prints, jewelry, clothing and merchandise from the movies that will be on display and available to purchase at the booth.
