  • AH: Warhawk Trophies this month

    It seems that when Warhawk, one of the first cool PS3 games, gets patched later this month, trophies will be added. The Warhawk 1.5 patch hits August 27th and will add over 50 trophies to include in your achievement fix. I haven’t actually played…

  • RT: How's the weather up there?

    Some people can be so hard to shop for. Take today’s comic for example. dggeoff

  • Return.

    So, you may have noticed I’ve been a ghost in the online gaming community and gamingtv.us has been down most of the summer. Basically, I have been editing videos and doing photography non-stop for a christian youth camp in Wisconsin. What happened to GTV before I left was somehow, we were putting out some sort…

  • Fracture – Halo 3 Jumping

    RVideo told us about Fracture, a new video from Jump Vision, edited by FooFoo. It shows off a bunch of both aided and unaided jumps on a bunch of maps. Great camera angles, amazing jumping. It’s a 63 mb WMP9 download from FileFront – grab a copy, it’s absolutely worth watching!(Louis Wu 11:36:57 UTC)

  • RvB: Reconstruction Chapter 9

    Rooster Teeth posted RvB: Reconstruction Chapter 9 last night – a standard cut for the public, an extended cut for sponsors, as usual. Sarge is on a mission! Thanks to UnSilentSlayer for the first heads-up. (Louis Wu 11:27:44 UTC)

  • Achievables Generator

    SpeedySurfer created an Achievables generator that lets you build your own Achievables (first seen in RvB’s recent Achievement-based PSA). Bizarre… but cute. (Louis Wu 11:27:25 UTC)

  • Top 10 Video Game Armors

    majorrudin found a Top 10 Video Game Armors movie, created by the same folks who looked at the Top 10 Video Game Chicks a week or so ago. Halo 3’s Recon Armor makes the list. (Louis Wu 11:27:04 UTC)

  • Mix’s Picks, Week 9

    xMixMasterx stopped in to announce that Week 9 of Mix’s Picks is available now at The Social. Two masp, two gametypes, and a video of a game played on yet another. Everything’s Infection-related this week.(Louis Wu 11:26:43 UTC)

  • Hellspartan Details

    vlad3163 got his SDCC-exclusive McFarlane figures yesterday, and was kind enough to transcribe the notes on the back of the EVA “Hellspartan” packaging. Canon? Maybe. Some nice tidbits, though! Go look.(Louis Wu 11:26:20 UTC)

  • AH: Penny Arcade video and site updates

    Hey there, Lot’s to talk about today. Firstly, Knuckles’ latest video is posted below. It’s a walkthrough for beating the final boss on the Penny Arcade XBL game without healing. Check it out, then let’s continue this conversation below… Please enable…

  • RT: Look up!

    Chapter 9 of Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction is now online, and if you’re reading this on the main page, it’s right above this very post. Now that things are up and running on our new gaming site Achievement Hunter, our resident web developer and Englishman…

  • AH: Red vs. Blue Recon 9

    Yo Hunters – Chapter 9 of Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction is now online, so take a break from all your achieving and go watch it. Now that things are up and running on Achievement Hunter, our resident web developer and Englishman Ben has had time to start…

  • Halo: The Movie Update

    Whoa. El Mayimbe, who runs Latino Review, sent word that the spec script based on Fall of Reach, written by Stuart Beattie (we mentioned it back in April) is generating interest – enough interest that concept art has been created by Kasra Farahani, and the first of five weekly releases of this artwork is up…

  • Strike True

    TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 73 is up now – the Master Chief is sounding decidedly masochistic. Will the Reclaimer accede?(Louis Wu 18:18:04 UTC)

  • AH: Uncharted Achievements Live in PAL territories!

    Hey, you non-NTSC PS3 trophy fans! A patch has just been released for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune that opens up trophies for you to pick up! That’s right, there are 48 new trophies for you to place on your digital shelf. From PSU.com: There will…

  • Halo 3 ad spurs speculation

    This is most likely just a mistake, but… Voodoo Extreme has an advertisement one of their readers got from the Microsoft Download Service. It lists “Free Trials at Microsoft Game Studios” in an ad for “Games and DirectX” – and the picture includes logos from Halo 3, Zoo Tycoon, and Gears of War. (It also…

  • Halo Live: Episode 1

    D Laz has kicked off a new series he calls ‘Halo: Live’ – basically, he takes a regular Team Doubles game, and adds interesting camera angles and epic-sounding music. Works pretty well! Thanks, SonofMacPhisto.(Louis Wu 10:44:17 UTC)

  • Arby ‘n’ the Chief, Season 3 Ep 1 – ‘Cold’

    It seems like only yesterday that we saw our first Arby ‘n’ the Chief video (it’s actually been just under 7 months), but the series is now up to Season 3. Episode 1, “Cold”, was released yesterday – thanks, Coyote 2JZ (and majorrudin). When the Jon is out… the MC will play. On a new,…

  • Halo 3: Be careful what you shoot

    Hawty McBloggy found a pretty cool clip showing off a rocket deflection with a frag grenade. Player one tosses a grenade, player two fires a rocket at player one. Rocket hits grenade, bounces to the ground… and kills the guy who fired it. Ouch!(Louis Wu 10:09:18 UTC)
