Awesome Halo

Set after the conclusion of Halo 3, Master Chief is back to kick off the first in a whole new trilogy. We’re hopeful that 343 Industries carries the Bungie torch with pride in this Q4 2012 release.

Gameplay from upcoming 2D fighting game Card Sagas Wars, featuring Halo‘s Master Chief and Metroid‘s Samus Aran. Another gameplay video with Link going up against Cloud Strife here.

Alan Marsala and Chance McManus combined footage from Halo: Reach with live action – and cheesy acting – to make their short film, You Will Never Get The Power Core.

The talented Ben Caulkins has built a remarkable Master Chief helmet completely from LEGOS which features many fine details, including the dazzling gold visor (from a modified motorcycle helmet).

For video game characters, dying is nothing but a minor setback – they’ll just respawn. That is until they go to heaven and want to stay dead. Also, apparently dead Spartans don’t get halos.

This Halo: Reach smackdown pits hip-hop legends Snoop Dogg and LL Cool J against each other in an epic multi-player match, complete with amusing trash talk, cameos and failed distractions.

YouTuber Tobuscus does an unnecessary but nonetheless hilarious singing narration of Bungie’s Halo: Reach trailer. Seriously guys, why wasn’t the gun already turned forward?

Not sure if you’re going to pick up Halo: Reach when it comes out? Nothing better than gameplay footage to help you decide. Already sold? Check out the game’s treasure-filled Legendary Edition.

When we saw Peter Mander’s Halo Covenant Elite costume in progress last year, we thought it looked pretty cool, but wait til you get a load of this awesome 7-foot tall costume in its completed form.

Modder Moz was looking for a cool Halo-inspired weapon to go with his Spartan costume, and decided to make himself a fully-functional laser-sighted Ma5B Assault Rifle that fires Nerf darts.

The top-of-the-line version of the upcoming FPS includes exclusive Spartan and Elite armor, a box of game artifacts, and a collectible statue of Noble Team by McFarlane Toys. Ships 9/14.

Bungie’s April Fools joke this year is a doozy. Combining the Halo universe with the classic Battle Chess, they’ve put together a game concept that seems just too good to be a prank.
