Videos of Halo DS?[ Comment ] 21:26 PST | mrtitan | Print News | Category: GeneralFor a while now, there have been rumors floating around about a Halo DS game once being in the works. IGN editor Matt Casamassina even made a post in his blog in January claiming that he's played it before. Well, now he's put up some videos of Halo DS in action and it looks pretty good!
Unfortunately, he claims that "the game will never see the light of day" though it was once in development by a big name studio and publisher. Thanks to HBO for the heads up.

Bungie Leaving Microsoft?[ 22 Comments ] 10:31 PST | mrtitan | Print News | Category: Halo: 38bitJoysick.com started a rumor about Microsoft and Bungie splitting ties. Their proof of this is a poorly written email from a friend of a friend that works at Bungie. The rumor seemed totally bogus and unworthy of any attention.
But now, Teamxbox is reporting that they have sources that told them there is some kind of complex issue going down between Microsoft and Bungie that could possibly result in the splitting of the two companies. Teamxbox also claims that there will be an official announcement on this issue sometime this week.
