Wired: Why the Halo Movie Failed to Launch [via destructoid]

An interesting read on why there hasn’t been a Halo film (mostly due to Microsoft’s unwillingness to compromise).

Above I’ve attached the first live-action Halo 3 game promo by Neill Blomkamp (known for District 9) that was also a proof of concept for a feature film. There have also been live-action promos for all the Halo games since: Halo ODST, Halo Reach: Birth of a Spartian, Deliver Hope, and Remember Reach.

Cool Live Action Halo ODST Trailer

Gives an idea of what a Halo movie might look like if they ever end-up making one.

I’m back. Christmas was fun!

Diane and I had Christmas morning at our friends’ apartment where we opened gifts and had breakfast.

I got:

  • Fable 2 (360)
  • Mirror’s Edge (PS3)
  • Battlestar Galactica Hoodie
  • Smashing Pumpkins Zero T-shirt
  • Transformers Watch
  • Plush Santa Jack
  • Collector’s set of Batman PEZ
  • Tons of Chocolate

I gave Diane:

  • 8GB Purple iPod Nano
  • Jbuds purple iPod case
  • Purple Jbuds earbuds
  • 2 necklaces
  • Battlestar Galactica “Frack Me” T-shirt
  • Star Trek Tribble
  • Chocolate

We spent most of the day lazing around and ended-up at our place for dinner and Halo 3. We had two 360s setup and were playing on Live also. After many rounds of Team Slayer we ended-up playing objective game modes like capture the flag where we won all but maybe 1 match because of our team coordination. Turned-out to be one of the most fun Christmases ever.

We payed even more Halo 3 over Friday and Saturday again with 2 Xbox 360s and Pizza. The most Halo I’ve ever played. Here’s my Halo 3 stats.

Bungie posts extended teaser trailer for new Halo game

Apparently it’s called “Halo 3 Recon” and the trailer does confirm suspicions from the first trailer that it would be a re-telling of the Halo 2-3 story from the perspective of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.
