Bungie’s been keeping Halo: Reach campaign under wraps for quite a while now, they focused more on multiplayer revelations in recent time, but at E32010, they took off the curtains on the single-player campaign of Halo: Reach. It shows off the scale of the battles while providing awesome, detailed graphics. And then, it shows off some things I don’t want to spoil the surprise on. Just watch the trailer, and enjoy:

New Slim Xbox 360 revealed!
It has a few codenames, most notably, Xbox 360+ or Slim Xbox 360. It looks nice, and its shipping as you read this. It has a retail tag of $300. Along with this announcement is that Microsoft has gone ahead and dropped the price of the older models – Arcade will be dropped to $149 from $199, and Elite will be $249 from $299 this week. Yes, the price drops are effective right now.
Here are some of the features of Xbox 360 Slim:
– The Alienware-like design was crafted by the same exact studio that did the various designs of the Alienware line of computers and laptops.
– No more memory cards. Its gone. Your current 360 cards are useless unless you own the old models. The new 360+ has more USB ports on the back, so this means you would need a flash drive to save your Xbox Live profile, gamesaves, and whatnot.
– Its not visible, but there’s a smaller HDD enclosed internally in the system – watch the video above to see where it is. 250GB is the size they’re starting out with the new drive.
– High compatibility with Xbox Kinect.
– Touch sensitive power button and eject button.
– 5 USB slots available – up from 3 that was in the original Xbox 360 models.
– Two HDMI slots – one for video, and the other for sound.
– New power supply port means new power cable.
– Built-in WiFi support means no more need to buy a separate wireless adapters. Perhaps they will release a new adapter, or you can use your current routers to have your 360 communicate with your router’s WiFi – up to Wireless N. -
Bungie documents Halo: Reach!
Its been a little while since Bungie launched the multiplayer trailer for Halo: Reach. They’ve gone an extra mile by talking about Halo Reach’s multiplayer beta which is going to drop in no less than week from now (May 3rd), and all we could do is eagerly await its launch – because once it drops, an all out war on Reach will become so wild, so chaotic that it creates a Carnage! And as such, Bungie released a VidDoc (short for Video Documentary) discussing the game’s awesomeness.
Without further rage. *AHEM* I mean, heh. Without further ado, Carnàge Carnivàle!
Which carnival are you going to attend? The clowns at Activision, or the talent at Bungie? If you’re going to the Bungie camp, don’t forget to buy Halo 3: ODST to participate in the multiplayer beta of Halo: Reach!
