    BlueTeam1138 decided to see if Halo footage could be coupled with audio from the new Mass Effect 2 trailer – I’d have to say he was pretty successful! Check out the “Halo Effect 2 Launch Trailer”. (Louis Wu 15:10:02 UTC)

  • AH: Assassin's Creed 2 DLC Date

    Ubisoft tweeted the official release date for the first Assassin’s Creed 2 DLC today, which is very exciting. “Battle of Forli” will drop on January 28th, for 320 MS points (and a similar price for PS3), but what I can’t find is any mention of Achievements. I think it’s awesome that it’s priced so cheaply,…

    Decadence Night has created his 200th panorama – given the nice round number, he decided to lean towards ‘ridonkulous epicosity’ in its creation. Check out ‘Timelapse: War Torn’ (be sure to click through for the full-size, 5215×2302 pixel monster). As Marty might say… “lots of people die.”(Louis Wu 19:51:47 UTC)

    terminator182 is back with a new edition of his HBO News Widget – that little plugin that shows you HBO news stories from the OSX Dashboard. This one is Reach-themed, and much prettier than the old one. Take a look!(Louis Wu 19:50:02 UTC)
