by
Frankie O’Connor at Bungie gave an interview near the beginning of this year, and one of the questions I found particularly interesting, especially because I’ve only recently had a chance to play Gears of War myself: XCN: Are you influenced by other games like Gears of War, would you consider implementing some things like the…

The Bungie Store is experiencing technical difficulties, no doubt caused by overhwelming demand for our ridiculously awesome Bungie merch. We’ll update you as soon as the dear old thing is back on its feet. Feel free to send arbitrary amounts of cash directly to me in the interim.

Takin’ a break from Halo coverage, this week the topic is all about casual games on XBLA. There are a lot of sweet games available on XBLA and lots more just announced at GDC. No doubt this is getting more attention from game developers, so we figured we’d assemble some people know what they’re talking…

Next-Gen’s Hot 100 Game Developers
Next Generation is doing their annual ‘Hot 100 Game Developers’ list (last year, both Jason Jones and Alex Seropian made the list, which was ordered alphabetically) – this year, the list is ordered by influence. Seropian’s not on the list this time around (Wideload Games has been pretty much under the radar until very recently),…

Halo 2 – The Most-Played XBL Title
Microsoft recently announced that the Xbox Live service hit 6 million members (several months sooner than they expected), and they listed the top 10 Live titles (by number of unique users) – Halo 2 is at the top of the list. I guess that 2-year headstart on Gears of War made a difference! Thanks, GhaleonEB.(Louis…

Gears of War 4 million sold

Gears of War has sold 4 million copies making it the most sold XBOX title behind HALO 1 and 2. GoW is the best selling game for the XBOX 360. I can’t help but think that this game would have sold even more copies had it shipped with objective-based gametypes and had a few glitches…

Bravo Kilo.
Last week, Bungie posted an analysis of the upcoming Brute Spiker; in it, one of the UNSC Marines referred to Brutes as ‘Bravo Kilos’. If this reference was lost on you, today’s One One Se7en might be, too… or maybe Stuntmutt will have cleared it up for you.(Louis Wu 15:58:24 UTC)

From Corgi’s site: While details of the line are still being worked out, look…
