You say Halo. I say Game On!

Halo 3 is out this Fall. Are you ready for it? Sundays, lounge, football on the TV, Halo 3 tournaments, billiards, cookin’ on the grill. That’s what I’m talkin ’bout!

Here’s some geek-porn to get your excited:

This is the way the world ends. This commercial was shot with the working prototype of the Halo 3 graphics engine. You have to see this in HiDef to appreciate the details. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy I can’t wait.

Do you think we’ll ever meet them?

Making of Halo 3: Et tu Brute? (7 minutes)

Making of Halo 3: Multiplayer (7 minutes) You have to see the wicked stuff they are adding to gameplay. It’s near the end of the video.

Making of Halo 3: Trailer (7 minutes)

Gameplay. (3 minutes) Just showing off the gameplay. No voice over.

Banned Xbox Commercial

Xbox LIVE is the online service you pay monthly for, $5/month. Microsoft came out with same really cool commercials to highlight the fun of playing online together by showing people playing together in the meat-space.

This is a video was meant to highlight the Xbox LIVE service. I don’t believe it was ever aired in the USA because we’re suckers for banning violence. Oh well.

Here’s another with the same idea. I would love to have been on the set filming this one. Notice the background noises they add in. It sounds like sounds from Call of Duty.

They just keep coming.

I can’t imagine why they banned this one.

Ding, you are now free to dragrace with jet airliners.

Nope, not going to go this far.
